SkinPen in Sebring

SkinPen microneedling works in 3 stages to rejuvenate the skin. Each stage promotes cellular repair and encourages new protein fibers to grow, resulting in stronger, healthier skin.

1. Inflammation: The microneedles pass over the skin, creating small abrasions on the skin’s surface. Your body reacts to these abrasions like it would an injury, increasing blood flow and sending immune cells to the area to repair and rebuild.
2. Proliferation: This stage stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin. These proteins work together to give the skin its strength and elasticity. Healthy skin cells begin to replace dead and damaged ones.
3. Remodeling: The skin’s natural regeneration process begins, leaving skin looking healthy and youthful.

When you come to us for SkinPen in Sebring, we begin the process by cleansing the skin and applying a topical anesthetic. We want you to have the most enjoyable treatment, so we ensure you are relaxed and comfortable before we begin with SkinPen.

Once the numbing cream has taken effect, your provider gently glides the SkinPen device over the skin. During this process, you might feel slight tingling or pressure as the microneedles work and puncture the skin. The process takes around 30 minutes.

Post-treatment, your face might be red and irritated, similar to a sunburn. Some patients experience dryness, tightness, and peeling for the next 24 to 72 hours after the SkinPen microneedling treatment.

Our providers recommend waiting at least 24 hours after treatment before applying makeup and sunscreen.

Your unique treatment plan depends on your skin concerns and goals for SkinPen microneedling. With a detailed consultation including a skin assessment, our providers determine the number of treatments needed to help you reach your goals.

Many patients see noticeable results after 1 treatment; however, the best results are usually seen after 4 treatments or more.

After your final treatment with SkinPen, you continue to notice gradual improvements in skin texture, clarity, and wrinkles over the next 3 to 6 months. Results are long-lasting, meaning they can last for months to years.

While the natural aging process will continue, keeping your skin healthy can prolong your results. We recommend applying a broad-spectrum SPF daily to keep your skin protected from the sun, as well as staying hydrated.
