MDPen MicroNeedling

Before the procedure, we’ll let you about ways you can prepare so you have the best possible outcome. You may need to stop taking certain medications, such as ibuprofen, acne medication, or topical retinoids well in advance of the procedure.

The MDPen is run rapidly over the skin, creating a pattern of micro channels that significantly increase the production of collagen and elastin, as well as the skin’s ability to absorb serums. The procedure also creates small ‘injuries’ that increase blood flow and growth factors in the area resulting glowing, healthy skin.

To maintain the results of your treatment over time, you’ll need multiple sessions. We will advise you on the best plan of action and timing based on your individual goals.

Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin types, including ethnic skin.

Microneedling isn’t invasive like plastic surgery, so the recovery time is minimal. Most people require very little downtime, if any at all. You may notice skin irritation and redness within the first few days following the procedure; this is a natural response to the small “injuries” made by the needles in your skin. Some people apply tinted moisturizer during the first few days as the redness dissipates. Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is a must.

Microneedling is a professional procedure that’s performed in a board-certified doctor’s office only. Unlike professional microneedling, rollers hardly penetrate the skin, so you won’t achieve the same results. The punctures made during professional microneedling induce skin rejuvenation.

After the procedure, your skin works fairly quickly to rejuvenate new tissue. You should see results within a couple of weeks.
