How Does SkinPen work?
SkinPen creates millions of controlled microchannels in the skin. These microchannels jump start the production of collagen and elastin which encourages the release of growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. SkinPen is designed to help activate the body’s natural healing response into remodeling the skin while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact, which results in continued cell turnover for months following your treatment.
