Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin types and conditions, and the treatment is customised according to your particular skin concern. It can improve the appearance of:
- Acne and acne scarring
- Enlarged/open pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Overall skin turgor/texture
- Scars following trauma or surgery
- Striae (stretch marks) on all areas of the body
- Hyperpigmentation
Microneedling is not suitable for people with active acne breakouts.
How Does Microneedling Work?
The SkinPen is a sterile, pen-like device that penetrates the skin with micro needles that range in length.
The micro needles penetrate down to the dermis (or middle layer of the skin) to create tiny ‘micro’ wounds that stimulate the natural healing process of the body, leading to the growth of collagen and elastin, restoring the appearance of healthy skin.
The needle depth in the pen system is adjustable, which means that the tool can even be used in very delicate areas, such as around the lips and eyes, or penetrate deep scars

How do I prepare my skin prior to SkinPen microneedling?
It is beneficial to prepare the skin with Jan Marini- Skin Care Management System for 2 weeks prior to treatment. This helps to remove dead skin cells and strengthens the skin, in turn decreasing healing time and improving results.

How many treatments will I need?
The treatment can be repeated, and many often choose to do so once every 4-6 weeks to maintain results. Maintenance can be accentuated through the use of appropriate skin care and other treatments.

What can I expect after my treatment?
There is very little downtime following treatment. Facial redness (like “sunburn”) for 12-48 hours is common and some people may experience mild stinging, swelling and bruising. Occasionally with deeper treatments you may experience some mild crusting or scabbing.
