SkinPen®
As we age, collagen fibers in the skin break down, and our body produces less and less new collagen to replace them. Because this essential protein gives our skin structure and keeps it smooth and youthful, a decline in collagen underlies many common signs of aging. The reason microneedling is so effective is that it activates your body’s natural reparative process to regenerate collagen and elastin.
What is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is an effective anti-aging skin rejuvenation treatment. It can improve skin tone and texture and address various cosmetic concerns, including acne scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Although micro-needling is usually performed on the face, it can also be an effective treatment for the neck, decollete, arms, legs, and other areas of the body.
The SkinPen® is a handheld device with multiple tiny needles that cause controlled micro-damage to the skin, triggering a natural healing response. Your skin clears away old, damaged cells and brings healthy new cells to the surface. This healing response also begins producing more collagen and elastin, rejuvenating your skin from the inside out over time.
At the Langdon Center, Dr. Robert Langdon is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist and works alongside our aesthetic specialist Maria Koursaris, DNP to help countless patients restore the youth and radiance of their skin.
