What Is The Micro Needling Pen?

The micro-needling pen is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art precision tool available through John W. Tyrone, MD, PLLC, Plastic Surgery’s plastic surgery office in Gainesville, FL. It is designed to address acne scars, hyper-pigmentation, stretch marks, skin texture as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural ability to procedure new collagen formation, creating healthier skin. The repair process of your skin is accelerated by the micro-needling pen therapy through the creation of microscopic channels, which allows products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin resulting in better product outcomes.

Who Is A Candidate For Micro-Needling?

Due to the noninvasive nature and minimal risk of adverse effects of micro-needling pen therapy, nearly every patient is a candidate. Factors such as age, thin skin, or skin texture do not matter as the therapy can be easily regulated to the unique needs of each patient.

What Areas Of The Body Can I Treat With Micro-Needling Pen Therapy?

Micro-needling pen therapy is very versatile and can be used on all parts of the body, face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back; which makes it especially helpful with addressing acne scars on the back and stretch marks on the body.

How Is Micro-Needling Therapy Performed?

A sterile and disposable cartridge containing 9-32 micro-needles is attached to the tip of the micro-needling pen. A thin layer of topical serum is applied to your skin and the appropriate micro-channeling treatment depth is selected for your unique type of skin. Next, in a gentle motion, the pen is glided across the targeted repair areas.

What Does Micro-Needling Pen Therapy Feel Like?

The micro-needling pen’s unique design allows for individualized settings, which makes the treatment very comfortable for most patients.

How Long Does Micro-Needling Take?

The procedure takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated and the severity of damage on the skin.

What Is The Downtime After The Procedure?

The total healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of repair. On average, patients are pink for 2-4 days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.
