SkinPen® Microneedling in Wichita, KS

Am I a Candidate for Treatment With SkinPen®?

For many individuals seeking to improve their skin’s appearance, SkinPen® is an ideal treatment. Potential candidates should be in good health without active skin infections or conditions that could impair healing who want to:

• Improve skin tone and texture.
• Reduce the appearance of large pores, hyperpigmentation or melasma, and acne scars.
• Correct signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, with non-surgical treatments and minimal downtime.

While SkinPen® is safe for most individuals, certain conditions may preclude some from undergoing the treatment. You should avoid SkinPen® if you have:

• Conditions like cold sores or active acne outbreaks should be treated before microneedling treatments.
• Microneedling can exacerbate severe eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea within the treatment area.
• If you have had a recent skin procedure like laser resurfacing or deep chemical peels, it is advisable to wait until your skin has fully healed.
• While there are no known adverse effects, it is recommended to avoid cosmetic procedures during pregnancy as a precaution.

How Does SkinPen® Treatment Work?

Consultation

Before undergoing SkinPen® treatment, a consultation with our qualified provider is essential. Your skin concerns and medical history will be evaluated during this session to ensure you are a suitable candidate. This consultation helps create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.

The Procedure

On the day of the treatment, the skin will be deeply cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

During the SkinPen® procedure, a handheld device with fine, sterile needles is gently glided over the skin. The needles create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. The depth of the needles is adjusted according to the specific needs of the treatment area. Treatment typically takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

What Is Recovery Like After a SkinPen® ProcedureTreatment?

After the procedure, a calming serum or moisturizer may be applied to soothe the skin. It is important to follow all after-care instructions provided by our practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle, non-pore-blocking skin care products, and keeping the skin hydrated.

One of the key advantages of SkinPen® is that little to no downtime is needed following treatment. Patients may experience some minor redness and swelling immediately after the treatment and typically subside within 24–48 hours. Some patients may also experience minor flaking or peeling as the skin heals.

While patients can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, avoiding strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and strong skincare products or those that block pores for a few days is important to allow the skin to heal properly. Gentle, non-pore-blocking makeup can usually be applied the day after the procedure.

What Results Can I Expect Following the SkinPen® Treatment?

The results of SkinPen® develop gradually as the skin’s natural healing processes take place, but you may see improvement in your skin texture and tone within a few days of the treatment. The skin may appear more radiant and refreshed as the initial redness subsides.

Over the next several weeks, collagen and elastin production continues to increase, leading to the reduction of wrinkles, lines, and acne scars, with a significant improvement in overall skin texture. The skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.

SkinPen® treatment results are long-lasting. Multiple sessions scheduled 4–6 weeks apart are often advised for optimal outcomes. Maintenance treatments help sustain and enhance the results over time.

Combining SkinPen® With Other Procedures

SkinPen® can be combined with other skin care treatments for intensive correction or enhanced results. For example, combining microneedling with chemical peels or laser treatments can amplify the benefits and achieve more comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

The absorption of medical-grade skin care is also increased when applied after a SkinPen® treatment.
