If you’re considering a SkinPen microneedling treatment at Miami Lakes Med Spa in order to improve the appearance of your skin, you may be wondering what the procedure feels like and whether it is painful. In this blog post, we’ll delve into these questions and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about SkinPen.
SkinPen microneedling is a popular treatment option for improving the appearance of the skin. It uses a device that produces thousands of tiny, vertical micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, new collagen is produced, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
But what does SkinPen feel like, and is it painful? Let’s take a closer look.
What is SkinPen?
SkinPen is a microneedling treatment offered at Miami Lakes Med Spa, that is used to improve the appearance of the skin. It is often used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the texture and tone of the skin, and reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scars.
During a SkinPen microneedling treatment, a handheld device is used to create thousands of tiny, vertical micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which results in the production of new collagen and elastin.
How does SkinPen feel during treatment?
The sensation of a SkinPen treatment varies from person to person, but many people describe it as feeling like a light scratching or pinching sensation. Some people may experience a slight sensation of heat or warmth during the treatment.
Is SkinPen painful?
The level of pain associated with SkinPen varies from person to person, but most people describe the treatment as being only mildly uncomfortable. The sensation is often compared to that of a light sunburn or a mild scratch.
At Miami Lakes Med Spa, to minimize discomfort during a SkinPen treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to the skin beforehand. In addition, the practitioner may adjust the intensity of the treatment to your comfort level.
Alternatives to SkinPen
There are other treatments available at Miami Lakes Med Spa for improving the appearance of the skin, such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels. These treatments may also be mildly uncomfortable, with the sensation often being compared to a light sunburn or mild scratch.
