The concept of microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself when it suffers physical damage such as cuts, burns, abrasions, or other injuries. Immediately after an injury to the skin, our body begins the healing process, triggering new collagen synthesis. The SkinPen is a microneedling device that intentionally creates very superficial “micro-injuries” to the outermost layer of the skin, inducing the healing process including new collagen production. Applying or injecting Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into the skin during microneedling enhances the procedure by placing PRP back into the skin, encouraging cell proliferation. This leads to an increase in elastin and collagen production.

As a result, the skin will look tighter, fuller, and smoother. Microneedling with
or without PRP has been shown to reduce the visibility of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, diminish hyperpigmentation, and improve skin tone and texture, resulting in smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.
