Microneedling: A Comprehensive Skin Renewal Approach
Benefits of Microneedling
Improved Skin Texture
Microneedling can enhance the overall texture of the skin, making it smoother by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. The controlled injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Reduced Scarring
This procedure can effectively reduce the appearance of various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. The needles break down old scar tissue, encouraging the skin to regenerate and heal.
Increased Product Absorption
After microneedling, the skin’s micro-channels can allow topical treatments, such as serums and creams, to penetrate more deeply, maximizing their effectiveness and delivering better results.
Pore Size Reduction
The increase in collagen and elastin production can lead to a reduction in pore size, making pores appear smaller and less noticeable, contributing to a smoother complexion.
Even Skin Tone
Microneedling can help reduce hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots by promoting skin turnover, leading to a more even skin tone over time.
Minimal Downtime
Compared to more invasive procedures, microneedling has minimal downtime. The skin may be slightly red or inflamed for a day or two, but recovery is generally quick, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
How Microneedling Works
- Skin Preparation: The skin is cleansed and prepared for the procedure.
- Microneedling: The SkinPen device is used to create microchannels on the skin’s surface, activating the body’s natural healing response.
- Collagen Production: The body produces new collagen fibers to strengthen skin cells and replace damaged tissues.
- Skin Renewal: Over time, the skin becomes smoother, more even-toned, and rejuvenated.
SKINPEN
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is an FDA-approved microneedling device to treat acne scars for individuals over 21 years of age. The SkinPen device consists of numerous microneedles that make thousands of microchannels on the skin’s surface. Consequently, your body activates skin cell regeneration and collagen production to heal the wound. The damaged skin tissues are eventually replaced by new, fresh, and even-textured skin tissues. Your body produces new collagen fibers to strengthen the skin cells, reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
MICRONEEDLING

This treatment targets the top layer of skin, with the goal of improving overall fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance.
