SkinPen Microneedling with PRP in Portland & Lake Oswego

SkinPen Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone. Using the FDA-cleared SkinPen device, tiny micro-channels are created in the skin, promoting natural collagen and elastin production. This treatment can be performed on its own or enhanced with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), which uses your body’s own growth factors to speed up the healing and rejuvenation process.

SkinPen with or without PRP:

  • With PRP: Boosts the skin’s natural healing response, enhancing the benefits of microneedling and delivering more intense skin rejuvenation. Ideal for those wanting maximum results.
  • Without PRP: A great option for those looking for a simpler collagen-stimulating treatment. SkinPen Microneedling alone is still highly effective at smoothing skin texture, reducing fine lines, and improving overall tone.

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling:

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Minimizes Pores: Helps tighten and reduce pore size for a smoother look.
  • Reduces Acne Scars: Targets scarring and uneven skin from past breakouts.
  • Enhances Skin Radiance: Delivers a glow from within by boosting cellular turnover.
  • Flexible Options: Choose a treatment with or without PRP depending on your needs and goals.

How Does It Work?

  1. (With PRP) Blood Draw: For those choosing PRP, a small sample of blood is taken and processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP.
  2. Microneedling with SkinPen: The SkinPen device is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, triggering a natural wound-healing process.
  3. (With PRP) PRP Application: PRP is applied to the treated area, enhancing healing, collagen stimulation, and overall skin renewal.

Treatment Expectations:

  • Duration: 45-60 minutes
  • Recovery: Mild redness and sensitivity lasting up to 48 hours; most patients resume normal activities within 24 hours.
  • Results: Noticeable improvements within 1-2 weeks, with optimal results appearing after a series of treatments.

Frequency Of Treatment

Results from SkinPen can be seen after just one treatment, but we recommend a series of 3 or 6 treatments to receive the best results. You can have a SkinPen treatment every 4-6 weeks.
