SkinPen Precision is a state-of-the-art microneedling device used in cosmetic dermatology to improve the appearance of skin. Microneedling, in general, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing process to rejuvenate and repair skin. The SkinPen Precision is a highly advanced version of this technology, offering precise control and safety during treatment.
SkinPen Precision uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries prompt the skin to initiate a healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
In addition to the SkinPen Precision treatment, Purasomes are often recommended alongside for enhanced skin recovery and rejuvenation. Purasomes are advanced serums or products that contain growth factors, antioxidants, and other regenerative ingredients designed to improve the healing process after microneedling and further boost skin rejuvenation.
Sknject also off the All Skin Med Hair Restoration Range which can complement the SkinPen treatments, especially for those looking to address hair concerns. The Hair Restoration Range includes targeted therapies that help improve hair density and strength, which can be used alongside skin treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation and restoration.
