SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen®Precision is the first globally FDA approved microneedling device which is clinically proven to deliver visible results after just one treatment. SkinPen device creates controlled micro injuries that stimulate body’s natural wound healing response which initiates the release of natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue. This medical grade microneedling can effectively remodel the overall structure of the skin. SkinPen can be used on all areas of face and body and treat fine lines & wrinkles, Melasma, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, Rosacea, Acne scars, surgical or trauma scars, stretch marks.
