SkinPen Microneedling in Memorial West
SkinPen Microneedling is an advanced aesthetic treatment that improves skin appearance through a process of controlled micro-injury. This 30-minute procedure creates tiny channels in the skin of the face, neck, and chest, stimulating cell turnover and promoting the growth of smoother, thicker skin. SkinPen effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. This product is suitable for all skin types and tones, as it doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals. The treatment can be enhanced with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to accelerate skin repair and rejuvenation or with Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid solution that boosts collagen production.
In this treatment, you will be able to reduce scarring, wrinkles, and large pores. Depending on individual factors, results can be visible within a few weeks and last for several months. SkinPen Microneedling offers a minimally invasive solution for those seeking to refresh their appearance. While some downtime is expected, with flaky and dry skin for about a week post-treatment, makeup can be applied after 24 hours.

TREATMENTS
Lip Filler
Dermal Fillers can enhance lip appearance by adding volume, improving balance, and correcting asymmetry. They can also hydrate the lips, giving them a smoother texture. Different types of Hyaluronic Acid fillers, such as Restylane Kysse, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm®, and RHA products, can be used based on individual goals.
Cannula Lip Filler
This advanced technique for applying dermal filler uses a blunt-tipped cannula instead of a needle. It offers benefits like reduced tissue injury, less bruising, and decreased pain during the procedure. Only two injection points at the corners of the mouth can treat the entire upper and lower lips.
Chin Filler
Dermal Fillers in the chin area can define and sharpen the anterior jawline, enhancing the distinction between the jawline and neck. Products like Juvederm® Voluma, Juvederm® Volux, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, and RHA Fillers are commonly used. This treatment often requires multiple syringes and can be combined with other treatments.
Jawline Filler
Jawline enhancement with Dermal Fillers helps contour the neck and define facial structure. This treatment is often combined with Deoxycholic Acid injections to reduce bulk under the neck and neuromodulators to minimize muscle pulling that can widen the neck area.
Filler Rehab
In cases where dermal fillers haven’t settled correctly, they may need to be dissolved before further treatments. Hyaluronidase can be used to break down Hyaluronic Acid fillers. Depending on the type and amount of filler used, the process may require multiple sessions. Common areas needing filler rehab include under-eyes, lips, and cheeks.
FAQ
The SkinPen Microneedling procedure can be used by most adults looking to improve their skin’s appearance. It’s especially beneficial for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin texture. However, individuals with active skin infections, keloid scars, or certain skin conditions should consult a professional before proceeding.
Initial results from SkinPen Microneedling can be seen within a few weeks of treatment. However, optimal results typically develop over 3-6 months as collagen production increases. The best results may be achieved through multiple sessions.
The longevity of SkinPen Microneedling depends on the individual’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Results typically last several months to a year. Treatments every six to twelve months can help prolong the effects.
Some downtime is expected after SkinPen Microneedling. Your skin may be red, sensitive, and feel tight immediately after treatment. You might experience flaky and dry skin for about a week. There is a possibility of temporary redness, swelling, and slight bruising. These usually resolve within a few days.
Before SkinPen Microneedling, avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliants for a few days. After treatment, keep your skin clean and moisturized. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, direct sun exposure for a week, and strenuous exercise for 2-3 days. Use gentle skincare products and apply sunscreen daily.
During a SkinPen Microneedling session, your skin will be cleaned, and you may be given a topical numbing cream. The SkinPen device will then be moved across your skin, creating micro-channels. You may feel a slight prickling sensation. It usually takes about 30 minutes to complete the treatment area. Afterward, a soothing serum or mask might calm the skin.
