SkinPen Precision Elite Microneedling
SkinPen Precision Elite is a medical microneedling treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process and support collagen and elastin production. At BV Aesthetics in Moseley, Birmingham, SkinPen microneedling is used to improve the appearance of acne scarring, fine lines and uneven skin texture.
What is SkinPen Precision Elite Microneedling?
SkinPen Precision Elite is a medical microneedling device that creates thousands of controlled microchannels within the skin. This activates the skin’s natural wound-healing response and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.
Treatment can be tailored to different areas and concerns by adjusting the depth of treatment according to your individual skin and treatment goals.
SkinPen microneedling may help to improve:
• Acne scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Certain types of scarring
• Stretch marks
• Overall skin quality
Treatment course
The number of treatments required will depend on your skin and the concern being treated. For general skin rejuvenation, a course of approximately 3 treatments may be recommended. Acne scarring or more significant textural concerns may require additional sessions.
Treatments are usually spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
What happens during treatment?
Your skin will be assessed before treatment and the SkinPen settings selected according to the area and concern being treated. The device is then passed systematically across the skin to create controlled microchannels.
Results
Skin remodelling takes place gradually following treatment as collagen production and tissue renewal occur. Improvements in skin texture and appearance therefore develop over the following weeks and months rather than immediately.
Downtime
Redness, warmth, tightness and mild swelling are common immediately after microneedling and can resemble mild-to-moderate sunburn. This usually settles over the following few days, although recovery varies between individuals and according to treatment intensity.
Aftercare
You will be given specific aftercare instructions following treatment. It is important to follow these carefully while the skin barrier recovers and to use appropriate sun protection.
A consultation and skin assessment will be carried out before treatment to determine whether SkinPen Precision Elite microneedling is suitable for you.
