SkinPen Microneedling Chicago​

How Does it Work?

SkinPen Microneedling follows a 3-step process; Inflammation, Proliferation, and Remodeling. SkinPen creates microchannels in the skin, activating the skin’s natural wound healing process prompting tissues to remodel without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.

Why Skin pen?

SkinPen is clinically proven to fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of both acne and surgical scars. This is a minimally invasive treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, performed in-office with little to no downtime. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen sets theindustry standard for safety.

What Are the Benefits?

• Improves fine lines & wrinkles
• Firm mild skin laxity (around the eyelids or mouth)
• Diminish acne, scars, and stretch marks.
• Help to erase age spots, sun damage, melasma, and hyperpigmentation
• Reduce pore size
• Targets the following cosmetic concerns: Trauma scars, surgical scars, acne, dark sports, severe hyperpigmentation, rough skin, dry skin, uneven skin tone, dull skin, enlarged pores, fine lines, moderate-to-severe wrinkles

Why does it benefit surgical recovery?

Surgical scars- even when healed-can look raised and rough. Microneedling can boost collagen in the area of and around the surgical scar, promoting and forming new skin cells, thus, accelerating the healing process and enhancing the cosmetic appearance of surgical scars.

SkinPen Microneedling + PRP

We also offer SkinPen microneedling with ProGen PRP.

What is PRP?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a revolutionary way to use the body’s rejuvenating healing power to generate new healthy tissue. Platelets, in addition to their pivotal role in hemostasis, represent a rich source of both growth factors and proteins.

Why PRP for surgical scars?

After a simple blood draw, PRP uses the patient’s own plasma, which is then spun in a centrifuge, and then microneedle into the skin. The skin will repair even quicker than with SkinPen alone and it will progressively improve in tone and texture in the following weeks post-treatment.
