SkinPen Microneedling is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. At Gillett Health, serving the Kansas City metro area—including Overland Park and Leawood—we offer personalized microneedling sessions to help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Appointment:
Your session will begin with a thorough skin assessment using AlmaIQ to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. The SkinPen device is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating micro-injuries that trigger the body\’s natural healing process. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and you\’ll be provided with post-care instructions to maximize results.
After Effects of Microneedling:
Post-treatment, you may experience redness and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Some clients report slight swelling or tightness. It\’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Most individuals notice an improvement in skin texture and tone within a week, with continued enhancements over the following months as collagen production increases.
Who Is a Good Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
However, it\’s not recommended for those with active skin infections, certain chronic skin conditions, or those who are pregnant. A consultation with our specialists will determine if microneedling is appropriate for you.
Benefits of Microneedling:
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin texture and firmness
- Reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks
- Enhances the efficacy of topical skincare products
- Minimal downtime compared to other skin rejuvenation treatments
Ideal Add-Ons – Exosomes and PRP:
To amplify the benefits of microneedling, consider incorporating:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Derived from your own blood, PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and enhance collagen production. Applying PRP post-microneedling can lead to more pronounced improvements in skin tone and texture.
- Exosomes: These are extracellular vesicles that play a role in cell communication and regeneration. When used in conjunction with microneedling, exosomes can further boost skin rejuvenation, leading to a more radiant complexion.
