WHAT IT IS:

Performed under the supervision of a physician, automated microneedling is a new innovation in aesthetic dermatology for the improvement of facial acne scars. 

​

HOW IT WORKS:

Microneedling treatments are used with the MicroPen Evo, which creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries to initiate the skin's natural wound repair process resulting in an improvement in the appearance of facial acne scars. 

​

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Your medical professional will apply sterile saline to our skin as a glide lubricant and select the appropriate pen position based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered. While some areas are more sensitive than others, most people generally compare the sensation to sandpaper being moved across the skin. Once the treatment begins, it typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated. Because of the low downtime, patients often opt for light treatments every -2 months simply out of desire to maintain their appearance. However, if your goal is to resolve specific skin irregularities, your medical provider might suggest a series of 3+ treatments at 4-6 week intervals.

​

RAPID RECOVERY:

Some minor pinpoint bleeding is to be expected immediately post-treatment followed by bright redness which typically subsides after 2-3 days. One of the most exciting perks of the MicroPen Evo is the immediate "glow" patients can see as soon as the procedure is finished. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Results continue to improve up to six months after treatment.
