Microneedling with SkinPen in Panama City, FL

Microneedling is a minimally invasive facial treatment that encourages the natural rejuvenation and anti-aging processes of your skin while injecting serum to encourage collagen and elastin growth.

The advanced surgical device used ensures precise punctures with the necessary depth and speed needed to target collagen growth in specific areas of the face.

Microneedling is used to treat the appearance of:

• Acne scars
• Age spots
• Large pores
• Minor scars
• Stretch marks
• Burns
• Freckles

Microneedling is best used on those with healthy skin and no current acne. The tiny, sterile needles puncture the skin repeatedly, triggering a healing response. Patients may return to activities the next day. Redness is the most common side effect. Dryness, stinging, and tingling are also reported.

Results peak around 4-6 months, with the newly built collagen lasting for years. Most patients come back every few months for microneedling sessions.

Skin is very good at repairing itself. Microneedling uses that ability on purpose: tiny, controlled punctures signal the skin to heal, and as it does, it produces fresh collagen and elastin — the proteins that keep skin firm, smooth and resilient.

Because the change comes from within the skin, results develop gradually and look like your own skin on a good day, not like something added. The page above explains that results peak months after treatment, with the new collagen lasting for years.

It is particularly well suited to texture. Acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven areas soften as new collagen fills in and the surface becomes more uniform.

For people choosing between microneedling options, the practice also offers microneedling with radio frequency; your provider can explain which suits your skin and goals.

Your treatment begins with a consultation to make sure microneedling suits your skin. As the page above notes, it is best for healthy skin with no current acne, so let your provider know about any breakouts, skin conditions or medications.

On the day, your skin is cleansed and prepared, and the device is passed over the treatment area with serum, at a depth set for the area being treated.

Afterwards your skin will look red, much like a mild sunburn. Dryness, stinging and tingling are also possible. Most people return to their usual activities the next day.

Keep your skincare gentle, avoid makeup and strong active ingredients for the period your provider advises, and protect your skin from the sun. Most patients return every few months for further sessions.
