Treatments with SkinPen near Minneapolis.
SkinPen microneedling provides customized treatments to address your unique skin care issues. This procedure is ideal for treating fine lines, enlarged pores, rough and crepey-like skin texture, acne scars, and other skin imperfections and blemishes. Each of our bodies has a natural healing system that allows the repair of injury by stimulating the production of both collagen and elastin.
The SkinPen microneedling system starts this response by creating hundreds of transient micro channels into the skin, called fractionated injuries. SkinPen helps to promote healing and regeneration mechanically, without the use of heat energy or cutting of the skin.
Adding PRP (platelet-rich plasma) after SkinPen permits the growth factors to access the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing the effects of collagen growth and cell turnover. PRP with SkinPen gives your skin a wonderful youthful glow with minimal downtime, as the PRP actually speeds up the healing process.

Your aesthetician may recommend adding PRP (“platelet-rich plasma,” a serum from your own blood) as a topical solution to your skin immediately following treatment. This can enhance treatment outcomes.
