How It Works:
Using SkinPen®, the 1st FDA-approved microneedling treatment, tiny needles create micro wounds in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing response. These micro-channels encourage the production of collagen and elastin, while also triggering the release of growth factors that help rejuvenate the skin.
