The Microneedling Process with SkinPen
So, what's it all about? To best describe microneedling, I encourage you to imagine tiny needles tiny needles creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing response and promoting the production of collagen and elastin, also known to most of you as a "youthful glow."
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Preparation: First things first, we cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove any impurities. A topical numbing cream is applied to make sure you're comfortable during the procedure.
Microneedling: Enter the SkinPen, a nifty device with a sterile, single-use needle cartridge. We gently glide it over your skin, adjusting the needle depth based on your specific needs.
Micro-Injuries: These tiny needles create thousands of micro-channels in your skin, kicking off a natural wound-healing process. Think of it as controlled chaos that results in beautiful skin!
Topical Application: Right after microneedling, we apply specialized serums or PRP (more on this in a bit) to enhance the results. These goodies penetrate deeper into your skin through those micro-channels.
Why SkinPen is a Top Microneedling Device
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is renowned for its safety, precision, and effectiveness.
Here are some reasons why SkinPen is considered one of the best microneedling devices on the market:
FDA-Cleared: SkinPen is the first microneedling device to receive FDA clearance, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and efficacy standards.
Customizable Treatments: The device offers adjustable needle depths, allowing for tailored treatments based on individual skin needs and concerns.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience only mild redness and swelling that subsides within a few days. Quick and easy!
Proven Results: Clinical studies show significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and the reduction of scars and wrinkles with SkinPen treatments. Talk about a confidence booster!
The Benefits of Using PRP with Microneedling
Now, let's talk about PRP, or platelet-rich plasma. This is your own blood, spun down to concentrate the growth factors and proteins that promote healing. When combined with microneedling, PRP works wonders:
Enhanced Healing: PRP speeds up your skin's healing process, reducing downtime and getting you back to your routine faster.
Increased Collagen Production: Those growth factors in PRP stimulate collagen and elastin production, taking your results to the next level.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone: PRP helps improve skin texture, tone, and firmness, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Aftercare and Healing Process
Aftercare is the name of the game to maximize your microneedling results. Here’s what I recommend to my patients:
Immediate Care: Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities for the first 24-48 hours. Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
I often recommend UPF 50 clothing and wide brim hats to protect the face and skin from harsh UV rays.
Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of exfoliants, retinoids, and any harsh skincare products for at least a week.
I recommend using BioJuve, a skincare line that is designed to nourish the skin before and after microneedling rejuvenation facials.
Sun Protection: Slather on a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from UV damage during the healing process.
SPF 30+ moisturizers to consider are: BioJuve, ColorScience, and THINK.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within and support the healing process. Keep the skin hydrated from within to support the healing process.
A great way to increase your hydration is with electrolytes. Electrolytes I love and recommend to my patients are: LMNT, Santa Cruz Paleo Electrolytes, Redmond Re-Lyte Electrolytes, and Seeking Health Electrolytes.
The Benefits of Using BioJuve Before and After Microneedling
BioJuve by Crown Aesthetics is a revolutionary skincare system that can take your microneedling results from great to WOW.
Here’s why you should incorporate BioJuve:
Pre-Treatment: Using BioJuve products before microneedling prepares your skin by balancing the microbiome, reducing inflammation, and ensuring optimal condition for the procedure.
Post-Treatment: After microneedling, BioJuve products help soothe the skin, accelerate healing, and maximize the benefits. The live probiotics in BioJuve support a healthy skin barrier, enhance hydration, and promote overall skin health. *Note: patients should wait 24 hours post-microneedling treatment before resuming BioJuve regimen.
Enhanced Absorption: Those micro-channels created during microneedling allow BioJuve’s active ingredients to penetrate deeper, providing more effective results.
Microneedling with SkinPen is a stellar treatment for rejuvenating your skin and tackling various skin concerns. By incorporating PRP and following proper aftercare, you can amplify the benefits and achieve outstanding results. Plus, using BioJuve before and after your microneedling sessions can further improve your skin's health and appearance, making it an excellent addition to your skincare routine.
