What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® is the only FDA-approved microneedling device available on the market. The SkinPen® penetrates the skin barrier with tiny, sterile needles to induce the natural healing process. This creates hundreds to thousands of "micro" skin punctures per second in the skin to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. The natural healing process works to minimize lines and wrinkles, scarring, uneven skin tone, and improve the overall texture of the skin.
What Is SkinPen® W/(PRP) Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is spun in a centrifuged to separate the plasma from your red & white blood cells. Plasma contains a high concentration of platelets, stem cells, and growth factors which helps your tissue to heal and grow new cells. The plasma is able to penetrate deep into your skin and work its rejuvenating magic.
What Are The Benefits Of SkinPen W/ PRP
When your PRP is used it penetrates your skin through the tiny channels the microneedles create. The PRP supercharges the microneedling benefits. PRP also address under-eye puffiness and dark circles to give you a more youthful, well-rested appearance. Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the side effects are virtually eliminated.
