WHAT DOES THE SKINPEN TREATMENT INVOLVE?

PRIOR THE TREATMENT:

Topical anaesthetic will be applied for 10-15 minutes prior the treatment for additional comfort.

THE PROCEDURE:

We will carefully assess your skin to establish if you are a candidate and will thoroughly explain the procedure, risks and benefits prior to treatment.

The SkinPen is carefully glided across the area of concern using the Skinfuse LIFT HG (Allergy free from cytotoxic) to create hundreds of microscopic puncture wounds which stimulates the natural repair process and activates collagen and elastin production. Erythema should be visible with possible signs of blood spotting, this gives us indication that the depth is at its correct point in order to penetrate deep enough into the skin.

POST TREATMENT:

You should avoid touching the area or applying any products onto the skin for 24 hours in order to prevent infection. Post treatment Skinfuse LIFT HG can be applied to help soothe the area. After 24 hours Skinfuse RESCUE Calming complex can be used to help support remodelling of the skin. The treatment area can be red and warm for 24 to 48 hours post treatment, but most patients see a reduction in erythema after 24 hours of treatment. Specific post treatment instructions will be given to you at the clinic

 HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Multiple treatment sessions will be recommended depending on the skin concern being targeted. We recommend treatments to be 4-6 weeks apart and is a great treatment option that can be intermittently used in conjunction with other treatments. 

 HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Due to the nature of the natural healing process, results will continue to improve in the weeks following treatment, with optimum results being visible at around 3-6 months post the final treatment session.
