It 's natural for skin disorders to develop over the course of a lifetime. However, pigmentation disorders, acne scars, stretch marks and wrinkles are often a burden for those affected. This is where microneedling treatment can help, as it activates the body's natural healing powers. The skin appears younger, healthier and more radiant. The world's leading medical device in this field is the SkinPen® Prescision. We use it at Klinik am Rhein for safe, minimally painful and highly effective treatments.
The SkinPen® is a medical device for microneedling. Fine needles cause micro-injuries in the upper to middle layers of the skin. The production of collagen and elastin is stimulated. These two fibers are the most important proteins in the skin. They form a network of fibers and ensure that the skin appears firm and plump.
During the ageing process, the collagen and elastin content decreases causing the skin to sag. In addition, acne or other skin injuries can lead to scars, blemishes or pigmentation disorders and enlarged pores. The SkinPen® treatment activates the skin’s strong self-healing powers, helping to address these concerns.
The treatment begins with gentle cleansing and disinfection of the skin. The SkinPen® is then guided over the skin with light pressure. With over 7,000 revolutions per minute, the SkinPen® creates up to 98,000 micro-injuries per minute, ensuring both efficiency and safety. The needle depth can be flexibly adjusted based on the presence of scars and the skin’s thickness.
For the best results, the SkinPen® can also infuse beneficial active ingredients into the skin, which provide additional positive effects on the tissue. The body's own platelet-rich plasma (also known as PRP), which can be obtained from a small amount of blood, is particularly suitable for this purpose.
Treatment with the SkinPen® is minimally painful. A light an esthetic cream can be applied. This makes the application almost painless.
After treatment with the SkinPen®, the affected skin may appear slightly red and swollen, but this is normal and typically subsides within the first 24 hours. The skin's self-healing powers are activated. Support your skin additionally by using light and gentle skin care products.
In addition, you should avoid any activities that may stress the skin for the first three days after the treatment. This includes sunbathing, strenuous exercise and visits to the sauna and solarium. You should also avoid wearing makeup during this time. Schedule any additional cosmetic treatments at least 30 days afterSkinPen® use.
Approximately 5 days after treatment with the SkinPen®the initial redness and swelling should fade.. Even after the first application the skin texture visibly improves and scars begin to fade. Collagen and elastin levels increase. Treatment with the SkinPen® Precision is suitable for all skin types. Depending on the initial findings and existing skin condition, up to 3 treatments at 6-8 weeks intervals are recommended for the best results.
