Microneedling with SkinPen is like hitting the reset button for your skin! 

Arlington Microneedling Services

Microneedling is the process of creating tiny micro-channels, also known as tiny wounds, on the skin’s surface.  While this may sound counterproductive, the process will trigger your body’s natural ability to heal, and the healing process promotes collagen production. 

Collagen is a natural protein in our bodies that is responsible for helping skin maintain a youthful appearance.  It also helps keep your skin free of fine lines and wrinkles.  Because of it’s ability to encourage collagen production, Microneedling with SkinPen has quickly emerged as the gold standard in skin rejuvenation services. 

Microneedling Treatments Can:

Improve the Appearance of Acne Scarring

Brighten Skin Tone

Minimize Pore Size

What is SkinPen?

The SkinPen is the device we use to administer your Microneedling treatment.  It is the first FDA-approved Microneedling device that has been tested and clinically proven to deliver results.  To achieve results, SkinPen Microneedling treatments follow a 3 step process:

Number 1 icon

Inflammation

SkinPen’s small needles pierce the skin, creating tiny wounds to trigger the body’s natural healing process. 

Number 2 icon

Proliferation

Number 3 icon

As the wounds start to heal, there is a change in dermal thickness for 5 months post Microneedling.

Remodeling

Once healed, Microneedling promotes the deposition of fresh, new collagen and elastin. This continues for 3 weeks to 1 year peaking at 6 months post-treatment.

Microneedling with PRP

On its own Microneedling is a powerful treatment, but when you pair it with Platelet Rich Plasma, aka, PRP and the results can be incredible!

During a Microneedling treatment with PRP, a sample of your blood will be collected before the service begins.  The sample is spun in a medical-grade double-spin centrifuge to extract the PRP which is rich in growth factors. 

When we pair Microneedling with PRP we go through all the steps of microneedling using your PRP to glide the device thus depositing all of your own growth factors into the tiny channels created to assist in the healing process and help promote tissue growth. 

At the end of the service, we apply the PRP we collected from your sample to the surface of your skin.  The PRP aids in the healing process and helps promote tissue growth. It’s like the icing on the cake!
