Microneedling by Rejuvenate You

Skinpen3.jpg

We are proud to offer our clients microneedling treatment with SkinPen, a Bellus Medical product!

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin.

SkinPen® microneedling is minimally invasive and a quick procedure, performed in-office with your Rejuvenate You provider.

Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types, light to dark.

Little to no recovery downtime makes microneedling an ideal choice for a busy lifestyle, and a great place to start for aesthetic procedures.

A short and comfortable procedure, an experience that’s ideal any time of the year

The SkinPen microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.

There are three phases to the wound repair process:

  • Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

  • Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is re-built with new granulation cells, as well as a temporary (type III) collagen and elastin, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

  • Phase III: Remodeling. The wound has been replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels. The type III collagen in the newly formed tissue is replaced with stronger type I collagen, which can contract to create a tightening or “shrink wrap” effect on the skin.
