What is SkinPen?

SkinPen® by Bellus Medical is a non-surgical, aesthetic microneedling device for the creation of “micro” skin punctures to improve the appearance of the skin. SkinPen® is an automated microneedling technology device designed for use by medical professionals only. It is the only U.S. engineered and manufactured microneedling pen on the market, with patent-pending, medical grade stainless steel needle cartridge. It is a disposable cartridge with a lock out mechanism ensuring single use only.

Microneedling with SkinPen® can help to improve your skin’s appearance, making it the market standard. How do you know if SkinPen® is right for you? If you’re searching for:

• A procedure that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and smooth wrinkles, SkinPen® may be used on all skin types
• A safe solution with little recovery time
• Results from a minimally-invasive procedure
• A procedure for ongoing maintenance of healthy skin
• A procedure for acne scarring greater than 1yr
• SkinPen® is different from traditional microneedling derma-rollers that can bend, break or even rust, resulting in possible infection or scarring with reuse.

SkinPen® uses adjustable length, disposable straight needles to penetrate at a 90-degree angle. This adjustability allows for differences in skin thickness and skin types. The vertical technology allows for extra precision.

How does SkinPen work?

SkinPen works by creating a series of hundreds of microscopic channels into the dermis to stimulate the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, helping skin to look and feel healthier. SkinPen® needles cycle at 100+ stamps/second, potentially creating 1600+ microchannels/second when moving the skin pen.

What are the benefits?

SkinPen® procedures are beneficial to assist in reducing the signs of aging, improving the appearance of stretch marks and/or acne scars, as well as to rejuvenate aging skin.

The Benefits Of Your SkinPen® Microneedling Procedure Include:

• Minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little, to no recovery time
• Noticeable results in less than a day
• Safe for all skin types, light to dark
• Effective on all body parts, including face, neck, and décolletage

What is the downtime and what side effects should I expect?

The total healing time depends on each individual patient. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild sunburn) for two-to-four days. Some patients may heal completely in 24 hours.

*Individual results will vary.
