Skin Pen Microneedling: Numbing, post microneedling, day 3, 1 week. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device fitted with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for healthy, youthful skin.

How It Works:
1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
2. Microneedling Device: SkinPen has 14 tiny needles & is used to puncture the skin at controlled depths.
3. Healing Process: The micro-injuries trigger the skin’s repair process, encouraging cell turnover and collagen production.
4. Post-Treatment Care: A soothing serum or cream is applied to calm the skin, and patients are advised to avoid sun exposure.
