WHAT IS SKINPEN®?

SkinPen® is a microneedling procedure that creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process, which triggers new collagen synthesis. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin. Multiple treatments may be required to achieve optimal results. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Skinpen microneedling is designed to stimulate skin cell turnover and promote collagen and elastin by creating controlled micro-injuries in the dermis to stimulate our skin's repair process and wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodelling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin safe and intact.

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 rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

How does a chemical peel work?

Chemical peels work by using specific acid solutions to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover. The acids penetrate the skin and dissolve the bonds between old skin cells, allowing them to be sloughed off. This process encourages the growth of new skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.
What skin concerns can chemical peels address?

Chemical peels can effectively address various skin concerns, including acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities. The type and strength of the peel will depend on the specific concerns being targeted.
Are chemical peels painful?

During the chemical peel, you may experience a tingling or mild burning sensation, which is generally well-tolerated.
How long is the recovery period after a chemical peel?

The recovery time can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel. Superficial peels typically have minimal downtime, with some redness and peeling that lasts for a few days. Our medium to deep peels may require a longer recovery period, ranging from several days to a few weeks, during which the skin may appear red, swollen, and have more noticeable peeling.
How many sessions are needed to see results?

The number of sessions required depends on the specific skin concerns and the type of peel used. Some people may see noticeable improvements after just one session, while others may require a series of treatments for optimal results. Your skincare professional will assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
How should I care for my skin after a chemical peel?

Following a chemical peel, it's crucial to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include using gentle cleansers and moisturizers, avoiding sun exposure, wearing sunscreen, and avoiding harsh skincare products or treatments that can irritate the skin.
Do Chanel Injections hurt?

Most patients report the procedure to be fairly tolerable in terms of pain level. Numbing cream will be applied onto the skin for roughly 30 minutes, followed by the Chanel Injection.
