SkinPen Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to make holes in the surface of your skin.  This microtrauma helps to stimulate collagen production thereby improving the apperance of wrinkles, scars, and acne.  It can also help improve skin texture and firmness.  At Uplift, we use the SkinPen Precision Microneedling devices which was the first FDA cleared microneedling device on the market.  For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments is recommended.

Price: $350 per session per area or $900 for Package of 3

How Does it Work?

  • Microneedling activates the skin’s natural healing process. Here’s how it works in three steps:

  • ​

  • 1. Inflammation

  • SkinPen’s microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, triggering a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new tissue.

  • 2. Proliferation

  • The micro-channels or tiny holes created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

  • 3. Remodeling

  • New dermal tissues form, rich in collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin quality, visibly reducing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, leaving skin more smooth, radiant, and younger-looking.

How to prepare for your appointment

  • Things to consider prior to your appointment:

  • Arrive to your appointment with a clean face. 

  • Tell your provider if you are prone to outbreaks of cold sores.  

  • If your face or treatment area has irritated skin (sunburn, open wounds, sores) the day preceding your appointment, please contact our office before your appointment.  

  • Wait at least six months post isotretinoin (Accutane) use before your SkinPen procedure, as isotretinoin use may impair proper wound healing.

  • Minimize sun exposure for 24 hours prior to the procedure.Minimize

  • Discontinue the use of topical products containing AHAs, Retinol or Vitamin A for 24 hours prior to your SkinPen procedure.

  • If you are on autoimmune therapy, ask your provider if the procedure is appropriate for you.

What to expect after your treatment

  • The treated area may be pink and mildly inflamed (similar to the appearance of a mild sunburn) for 24-48 hours following your SkinPen procedure.

  • Use the post-treatment regimen as instructed by your provider.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive perspiration, as excess blood flow and sweat can cause discomfort and irritation to compromised skin for 72 hours.

  • Strictly avoid sun exposure as you will not be wearing sunscreen. You may return to sunscreen use 24 hours following the procedure. Continue to minimize sun exposure for 72 hours following the procedure.

  • 24 hours post-procedure, your provider may advise you to keep your skin clean of cosmetics or sunscreen for the remainder of the day..
