The Benefits of SkinPen Treatments for Acne Scarring

by | Dec 5, 2023 | Acne, Blog

Acne can affect anybody. It most commonly occurs among teens, but acne can appear before that and persist until adulthood. The aftermath is scarring that can leave one feeling insecure about their looks. Fortunately, SkinPen treatments can restore the skin’s smoothness and boost your confidence.

 

This state-of-the-art microneedling tool has a disposable tip with 14 surgical-grade stainless steel needles. While you’ll find many other microneedling devices on the market, the SkinPen is the only one with FDA approval. As such, SkinPen treatments are only accessible through licensed skincare professionals.

 

If you’re looking for an acne scarring treatment, here are some reasons to consider the SkinPen:

 

Natural Healing

 

When the SkinPen inserts its tiny needles into the skin, it triggers the skin’s wound-healing process. That encourages skin rejuvenation and increases the production of collagen. You don’t have to worry about having more scars after microneedling. The treatment produces healed skin that’s smoother and more radiant. It’s a natural method that requires no harsh chemicals, exfoliation, or surgery.

 

Reduces Scars and Prevents Signs of Aging

 

Acne scars are a pain to deal with. If you’ve tried all sorts of skincare products and treatments to no avail, the SkinPen is worth a shot. It’s clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scars in patients over 22. Your marks will be visibly lighter after just one treatment.

 

In addition, the SkinPen prevents premature signs of aging. You don’t have to worry about wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots until much later.

 

Fast-Acting

 

If you’ve dealt with acne scars for years, you want a treatment that will work fast. And that’s what you can expect with the SkinPen. While other methods take countless sessions to deliver results, you’ll see immediate improvements with the SkinPen.

 

After three sessions, the changes will be dramatic. Every treatment prompts the skin to produce higher collagen levels for three weeks. That will significantly reduce the visibility of acne scars.

 

Pain-Free

 

Microneedling may not sound like the most pleasant experience, but it’s relatively painless. Before starting the procedure, your dermatologist will apply a topical numbing cream to your skin to help you feel more comfortable. After 40 minutes, they’ll run the SkinPen across your face in even strokes. It usually feels like a light scratching sensation. You’ll feel the most discomfort along the forehead and jawline.

 

Fast Recovery

 

After your SkinPen treatment, you can go home right away. While you might experience some redness and tenderness on the face, that’s part of the healing process. These side effects should be gone in a couple of days.

 

The tiny punctures on your face will trigger your immune system to do a cleanse. After that, new skin cells will repair the skin and produce blood cells in the wounded areas. Next will come new skin tissue and blood cells.

 

Skin Compatibility

 

Anyone can benefit from the SkinPen, including those with sensitive skin. It’s clinically proven to work on all skin types, colors, and complexions. Because it doesn’t use heat or chemicals, it provides a safe experience for everyone. The SkinPen is also suitable for various budgets, as it’s more affordable than many other high-tech treatments.
