The Benefits Of SkinPen® Microneedling: Stimulating Collagen For Healthy Skin

What Is Microneedling And How Does It Help?

Microneedling is a well-researched technique of utilizing thin, tiny needles to create minuscule holes in the top layer of your skin, hoping to create microdamage. This damage stimulates your own body’s response to injury by upregulating, or increasing, the healing process. This way, collagen is produced at a greater quantity, keeping your skin firm and smooth. Though some report discomfort, reddening, and slight pain can be expected. Microneedling has been shown to help with:

• The appearance of pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loose skin
• Scarring
• Stretch marks
• Discoloration
• And more
