Rejuvapen Microneedling
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT? Collagen production starts to dwindle in our mid-to-late 20s and early 30s. We start losing up to 1.5% of our collagen per year after that. By 40-50, collagen drops dramatically, leading to signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging, and dryness. These signs of aging can be prevented and reversed with microneedling, which triggers a healing cascade in the skin and lays down new collagen. Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. A digital device creates microchannels in the skin, which triggers the body's natural repair mechanisms resulting in the formation of new elastin and collagen.
BENEFITS: - According to a 2008 study, skin treated with four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart, had up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing treatment (check out our blog for citation links). - Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer skin and reduction of fine lines - Increases cell turnover for more youthful skin - Corrects uneven texture, discoloration and hyperpigmentation - Reduces the appearance of acne scarring, surgical scars and stretch marks - Reduces oil production and the appearance of pores and blackheads - Scalp microneedling encourages hair growth Minimal downtime. Face can appear flushed for up to 24 hours.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS? Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months after a treatment as collagen production continues.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED? It is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for their initial treatment. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals. 1-3 treatments per year are recommended for maintenance.

WHO IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR MICRONEEDLING? Microneedling is safe for almost anyone. The only contraindications are for those who currently have severe active acne, infections, or wound-healing issues.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME? Healing from microneedling usually takes a mere 24 hours. Your face will appear flushed for the first 24 hours. You may have some small spots that take up to two to three days depending on the extent of the treatment. You can are free to return to work or school immediately after treatment and wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PURE SKIN AND MED SPA MICRONEEDLING? Nothing except the price. Pure Skin uses an FDA cleared Microneeding device that is commonly used in med spas. Mironeedling at Pure Skin is CIT (collagen induction therapy) medical microneedling performed under Body Art Facility licensing.
COMPLIMENTARY LIGHTSTIM LED LIGHT THERAPY INCLUDED!
Microneedling and red light therapy are the perfect pairing to achieve healthy, glowing, rejuvenated skin.The use of red LED light therapy has been shown to activate FGF, increase collagen type I and reduce matrix metalloproteinase (MMP -1). The increase in fibroblasts supports an increase in collagenesis and promotes healing.
