SkinPen® Microneedling in Reading, PA

SkinPen® Microneedling in Reading, PA performs professional, minimally-invasive treatment to improve the appearance of certain types of facial acne scars and neck wrinkles. Lords & Ladies offers SkinPen as part of its clinical skincare program for clients in Reading and nearby areas.

Microneedling results are gradual and happen over time as the body heals and remodels itself. There is no instant volumizing effect.

What Is SkinPen?

SkinPen microneedling uses a motorized device with a sterile cartridge that contains multiple small needles. The needles penetrate the skin to create controlled microchannels. These microchannels trigger the skin’s natural wound healing process.

During healing, the skin undergoes inflammation, tissue formation, and remodeling over time. Treatment has the potential to improve the appearance of certain scars or wrinkles.

SkinPen is cleared by the FDA for use in minimizing the appearance of facial acne scars on adults 22 years of age and older. It is also cleared for diminishing the appearance of neck wrinkles on some adults.

What Skin Concerns Can SkinPen Help With?

Microneedling with SkinPen is suitable for certain skin concerns involving facial acne scars and neck wrinkles. During your consultation, the provider can examine your skin to determine if microneedling may be beneficial.

Acne scars can be different types, depths, ages, and locations. Clients may have boxcar scars, raised scars, current acne breakouts, redness, or changes in pigmentation. Not every scar or skin issue can or will be treated with SkinPen.

SkinPen microneedling may also help some clients achieve a smoother complexion during skin remodeling. Do not expect microneedling to target every pore, line, bump, or blotch.

Lords & Ladies offers many clinical skincare treatments such as chemical peels, dermaplaning, and RF microneedling. During consultation, you can compare these treatments.

What to Expect Before SkinPen Treatment?

During the consultation and before treatment, the provider reviews your skin type, medical history, current medications, skincare products, and cosmetic procedures. This assists the provider in determining your candidacy and how to prepare.

Inform the provider of all products with active ingredients you use, like retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), prescription acne medications, and others. It is also important to discuss recent chemical peels, laser treatments, injectables, skin infections, unusual scars, and skin reactions.

Events and travel plans should also be addressed before scheduling microneedling. SkinPen might be ideal one month before your wedding or vacation but not the week before. There may not be enough time for redness and/or skin sensitivity to fade.

Follow all instructions provided by your provider to prepare your skin for treatment. Unless directed to stop by the prescribing professional, do not stop taking prescription medications.

What Happens During SkinPen Treatment?

After cleansing the skin, the provider may apply a topical numbing product to help increase comfort. The provider moves the SkinPen handpiece over the intended treatment area.

You may feel vibration, slight pressure, or prickling from the needles. Sensation can feel different on the forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck, and areas with less fat.

Depth settings are selected based on treatment area and skin type. Proper depth control is one reason clinical SkinPen treatment differs from do-it-yourself rollers.

Once microneedling is complete, the provider will apply the product and advise you on skin care during recovery.

How Do You Care For Your Skin After SkinPen?

Follow all aftercare instructions given by your provider. Do not pick, rub, exfoliate, or touch the skin with unwashed hands.

Clients are advised not to wear makeup for three days after microneedling at Lords & Ladies. Clients are also advised not to exercise, sweat, go in a swimming pool, gym, or sauna for 72 hours.

For the first seven days after treatment, avoid using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, other products with active ingredients, and direct sunlight. Clients are encouraged to continue using professional skincare products and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.
