SkinPen® Precision

DEEP SKIN MICRONEEDLING

WHAT IS SKINPEN®?

SkinPen® Precision is a microneedling device that utilises Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) to treat acne scars and help to improve the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, surgical scars, stretch marks and enlarged pores.

SkinPen® Precision is also found helpful in improving the cosmetic appearance of pigmentation conditions (Dyschromia) by returning the skin to a more normal pigmentation activity.

Collagen Induction Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure involving the movement of a pen-like device with an attached sterile, disposable cartridge tip containing small needles over the skin’s surface. The microneedles puncture the skin and create tiny micro injuries that are not visible to the naked eye. These tiny punctures stimulate tissue regeneration through the process called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) which improves the appearance of the skin.

The process of CIT is instigated through the breaking of the old and damaged strands of collagen in target tissues via microneedling. This leads to the production of new collagen, which improves the structure and function of the skin while improving its appearance.

It generally takes at least up to 3 months before a physical improvement can be seen, and multiple treatments may be required to achieve desirable results.

The Treatment

You will be sent a pre-treatment questionnaire that will include questions regarding your medical history, inclusive of any medication or nutritional supplements that you may be taking, to determine if the SkinPen® Precision treatment is suitable for you.

The questionnaire will also clarify your goals for treatment.

Your skin will be prepared for treatment through cleansing followed by preparation with a disinfecting agent. You may be advised about the use of a topical anaesthetic to ease treatment discomfort. Please follow all instructions outlined if topical anaesthetic is recommended.

SkinFuse® Lift HG (a hydrogel product) is applied to the skin’s surface during the procedure. It is specifically designed and formulated for use with CIT procedures to prevent against friction and abrasion during the treatment.

A sterile, single-use needle cartridge will then be attached to the SkinPen® Precision to determine the length of the microneedle to use for the procedure. Once attached, the sterile tip of the SkinPen® Precision needle cartridge is moved across the surface of the skin to perform the treatment. Some clients may experience a small amount of discomfort during the treatment alongside a small amount of pinpoint bleeding.

Your skin will be clean post-procedure (if required). A generous amount of SkinFuse® Lift HG will be applied to the treated area to help maintain a moist wound healing environment to support skin recovery.

Experiences may varying between clients.

SkinPen® Precision procedures are generally very well tolerated with side effects being rare when your treatment is performed by a trained professional.

Most side effects will only occur due to not following appropriate pre and post treatment skin care instructions, applying non- approved skincare to treated skin, and also due to not disclosing vital information during the consultation.

The side effects may include:

  • Skin infection
  • Temporary post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Tram track appearance on the skin
  • Bruising
  • Allergic granuloma formation
  • Systemic hypersensitivity
  • Persistent redness
  • Acne and milia
  • Reactivation of herpes simplex virus (cold sores)

CIT procedures are generally deemed minimally invasive with a low risk of adverse events and complications as long as treatment instructions and pre and post skin care advice is followed effectively. Most adverse events and complications are directly associated with poor skin care post procedure and not following instructions pre- and post-procedure.

Depending on the individual, some clients may be able to resume normal activities immediately following a SkinPen® Precision procedure with others resuming normal activities the day after. The exception to this is exercise and activities that induce sweating and heat, as they may aggravate the skin post procedure.

CIT procedures may improve the appearance of acne and surgical scars, however, they cannot completely remove them.

CIT procedures may improve the appearance of pigmentation conditions, however, it cannot completely remove it or prevent it from coming back again.

Every client varies with regards to their treatment needs, with most skin concerns requiring more than one procedure to achieve results. Your treating practitioner will create a treatment plan based on your individual needs and explain this to you during your first consultation. This plan may need to be reviewed over time.

Some results achieved through CIT procedures may last for a longer period of time than others. Due to this reason further procedures may be required to maintain results.

It is essential that you only use skincare products recommended by your treating practitioner following your SkinPen® Precision procedure. This is due to your skin having microchannels within it that can enhance the absorption of topically applied products for 24-48 hrs post procedure. Various products may lead to allergic reactions and the formation of unwanted adverse skin reactions, hence any product that has not been approved by your treating practitioner should not be applied due to this risk.

The recommended protocol following a SkinPen® Precision procedure is as follows: SkinFuse® Lift HG only should be used for 24hrs following the procedure and the use of SkinFuse® Rescue Calming Complex may commence 24hrs after the procedure.

SkinPen® Precision has not been clinically trialled for the intended use of needling of transdermal delivery of topical substances into the skin.
