So you’re thinking about getting microneedling for your fine lines, sun spots and/or acne scars? Just remember – like the practitioners that wield them – not all microneedling devices are created equal! Here’s four reasons to keep leading microneedling device SkinPen Precision in mind when booking your appointment…
Firstly, a quick recap. What is microneedling?
Microneedling treatments use a roller or pen tipped with rows of tiny needles to create micro-injuries to your skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process and, in turn, stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to smooth fine lines, fade acne scars, and improve overall skin texture. Another benefit is that microneedling can help any skincare applied afterwards penetrate more deeply.
Microneedling is minimally invasive, so while some redness and mild irritation is common, it’s short-lived and should fade within 48 hours. But, for the best skin smoothing, brightening and firming results, you want to avoid unnecessary irritation, uneven pressure and, of course, hygiene concerns, especially as the tool is going to prick your face thousands of times.
Here’s what sets a device like SkinPen Precision apart…
1. SkinPen Precision is the first FDA-approved microneedling device
Widely considered one of the safest (as well as effective) devices on the market, SkinPen Precision is backed by lots of lovely scientific research you can trust. A key part of getting its FDA approval was passing some pretty rigorous testing for hygiene. Its unique design, which uses a sealed, single-use cartridge system, means there is no risk of blood contamination between patients – a number one priority to keep you safe!
2. It works fast
If the idea of needles rolling over your skin sounds a little uncomfortable – you’re not wrong (depending on your pain threshold). Luckily, SkinPen Precision balances the pain versus gain ratio because it is super fast – a treatment takes just 30 minutes for facial acne scars or neck wrinkles. Another benefit is the device’s quick and constant repetition rate. Combined with the glide of your practitioner’s hand, this means you can achieve an impressive 98,000 collagen and elastin-boosting micro-channels per minute in your skin. That’s an industry-leading standard.
3. SkinPen Precision is super versatile (and great for tricky areas)
SkinPen Precision doesn’t just work fast – it’s precise (living up to its name) too. The action of the needles is specifically designed to reach all your target areas without causing uneven pressure on your skin, meaning your practitioner can rejuvenate your skin wherever needs it most. That means you can see amazing results, especially for neck wrinkles, acne scars and overall skin tone and texture. Plus, all those results can last for up to six months after just one to three sessions.
4. Practitioners swear by it
Nowadays, there are so many devices for practitioners to choose from, but SkinPen Precision still often comes out on top. Demand is so high at Dr Ahmed El Houssieny’s clinic that he’s revealed he is likely to invest in a third SkinPen Precision device soon.
Another advocate is Dr Ana Mansouri who says: “The SkinPen Precision treatment is the one skin remodelling procedure that is my go-to for all of my patients because it is results-driven, safe and versatile.” Alice has also tried (and approved) the device herself – although it was some time ago – as you can see in the video below:
The final word
If you’re after smoother, brighter, firmer skin with minimal downtime, SkinPen Precision is definitely a TTG top-pick. As always though, it’s not just the tool that matters. Make sure you go to a practitioner who really knows their stuff, to keep your skin in good hands. Our practitioner guide can help you there!
