Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen growth. Now in Birmingham, SkinPen Microneedling Technology activates collagen induction therapy for beautiful, youthful-looking skin, plumping it up and smoothing out wrinkles.
SkinPen is a state-of-the-art, medical-grade device created to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars on the body and face. This in-office procedure delivers thousands of micro-injuries to initiate the body’s own wound-healing process. Your body begins to break down damaged tissue and produce healthy new collagen and elastin.
Microneedling with PRP
To boost your results and healing time, we recommend adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to your microneedling treatments.
On the day of your treatment, a small sample of blood will be drawn and then spun in a centrifuge for roughly 15 minutes. The centrifuge device spins and separates the plasma from other blood components. PRP contains a variety of growth factors and other beneficial proteins. These proteins help skin tissue repair itself.
We then apply the PRP to the treated areas to stimulate skin cell renewal.

FAQs | Who is a candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?SkinPen Microneedlingcan be used on all skin types and skin colors, and can address a wide range of problems, including acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and any area where cell regeneration is desired. What happens during the SkinPen Microneedling procedure?A sterile and disposable cartridge containing 9 to 11 microneedles is attached to the tip of the SkinPen. A thin layer of topical serum is applied to the skin and the appropriate micro-channeling depth is selected for your skin, anywhere from .5mm for a light treatment up to 2.5mm for a more agressive treatment. In a gentle motion, the pen is glided across the target repair areas. At shorter needle depths, you will feel a tickling sensation. More aggressive treatments may require topical numbing cream. How does SkinPen Microneedling work?As the SkinPen is moved over the skin, it vertically penetrates the surface layers of your skin. Your skin reacts by initiating the healing process, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin. What can I expect after the treatment?Most patients begin to see results in one day to a week after treatment, though each patient's healing time differs. Immediately after treatment, you may notice a pink appearance in the treatment area. In some cases minor pin-point bleeding depending on the depth of the needle penetration. |

Three to four treatments may be required for treating mild wrinkles and fine lines, while the treatment of acne scars may require six to eight treatments.
