Micro Needling With SkinPen

The collagen and elastin produced in your body naturally have two basic functions. While collagen provides shape and structure to your skin, elastin makes your skin stretchy and tough. As one grows older and the signs of aging sets in, these two proteins can be a huge help in making your skin regain its lost youthful glory and glow. Microneedling is one of the most popular anti-aging skin treatments that stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin to accelerate the healing process of your body and thereby make your skin look younger by many years. And Skinpen is a device that is arguably one of the best micro-needling tools found in the current market.

 

What Is Microneedling?

 

The micro-needling tool, Skinpen is fitted with tiny, microneedles that are used to make light puncture wounds on the uppermost skin surfaces. These puncture wounds or micro-injuries are so small that you cannot see them with the naked eye. However, your body recognizes them, and the process of natural healing kick-starts. This induces and increases the production of collagen and elastin making your skin look healthier and younger from within.

 

Micro-needling can be used to treat several dermatological issues ranging from acne scars and stretch marks to wrinkles, skin dullness, and even for skin lightning and pigmentations. Micro-needling with the Skinpen has gained massive popularity because this non-invasive process is almost painless and does not have any major side effects that could have long-term consequences. Of the different micro-needling tools available at present, the Skinpen is the preferred choice by many cosmetic specialists because of its precision and effectiveness.
