What is the downtime like?
Compared to more invasive procedures especially for scarring, SkinPen® Precision’s minimally invasive approach means the recovery time is reduced. Afterwards, your skin can feel a bit tight and sensitive, and it is likely to appear red, like a mild sunburn. However, these side effects should be short-lived, lasting up to three days. In fact, you should be able to resume most of your daily activities after 24 hours, making it convenient for busy lifestyles.
How quickly can you see results?
As SkinPen® Precision works mainly through stimulating collagen and elastin production, the results are not immediate – but worth the wait, with the benefits continuing for up to six months post-procedure.
If your main concern is dullness, you can expect to see a more radiant glow in as little as a week, due to increased blood flow and hydration. One to two weeks post-treatment, collagen production begins, further helping improve signs of uneven texture.
For more stubborn concerns such as scarring and fine lines, you may need to wait until at least one skin cycle (which is 4-6 weeks), to start to see the benefits of collagen production increasing. After that though, you should see long-lasting changes in skin texture and tone, especially once you have completed a course of treatments.
How many sessions do you need?
A series of three sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, is the recommended protocol, with maintenance treatments on hand to sustain your results over time. However, you should speak to your practitioner for a tailored timeline, as this will depend on your skin’s condition and your specific goals. Using the recommended aftercare, including SPF and hydrating creams, will also maximise your results.
Do you need maintenance appointments?
Many patients opt for maintenance sessions every 4–6 months to maintain and enhance results. You should also consider your lifestyle and skincare routine to ensure you are able to benefit from your treatment for as long as possible.
What areas can you treat?
SkinPen® Precision is designed for both facial and body treatments, including the neck, décolletage, and hands.
How long do the effects last?
It depends on the specific concern you want treated, but many results from SkinPen® Precision can last several months, especially as the boost in collagen and elastin production continues up to six months post-treatment.
- For glow: The instant radiance boost lasts up to two weeks
- For fine lines: Results can last 4–6 months or longer as collagen rebuilds the skin.
- For acne scars: Improvements are generally permanent
- For Hyperpigmentation: Results may last indefinitely with good skincare and sun protection.
Who is SkinPen® Precision suitable for? Is it suitable for Black skin?
Yes – it is suitable for almost anyone! Particularly excitingly, it is clinically proven to be safe and effective on all Fitzpatrick skin types, notably darker skin tones, who are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
