The Spa @ WDC is always looking for treatments that help us to give you a truly personalized experience by addressing your unique needs for your skin. We are delighted to announce that we recently added a new option to our menu of services: SkinPen microneedling. Our Albuquerque-based team is excited about the possibilities this treatment offers—as well as the results we are already seeing from those who have come in for a session.
Here are three ways SkinPen can give your skin the care and improvements you’re seeking, but first, let’s take a look at what SkinPen does.
A SkinPen microneedling treatment safely creates hundreds of thousands of tiny microchannels throughout the targeted area, none of which are large enough to leave a scar—but all of them trigger an automatic healing response that repairs the skin and improves its overall look and feel. The treatment works thanks to the body’s own ability to boost collagen and elastin production in response to damage (even if that damage is minor, as cause by SkinPen).
In fact, that collagen production is the first of the benefits we’re highlighting here!
Collagen Boost
Since youthful skin requires healthy amounts of collagen to remain smooth and firm, treatments that encourage its creation can be amazingly effective at helping you to “turn back the clock.” While we start life with ample amounts of collagen, which is a protein that provides structure in the skin, the molecules break down over time. They can be replaced by specialized cells, but that replacement process also begins to “break down” with age. SkinPen kicks collagen production into higher gear once again, leading to increasing levels of the protein—and a naturally improved texture!
Safety for All
Some treatments work better on certain skin types and tones than others. SkinPen, however, is cleared by the FDA as a suitable collagen-inducing treatment for patients of all types and tones. The results are beautiful, no matter who is having the treatment done.
Targeting Scars and Fine Lines
In addition to overall general skin improvements, SkinPen microneedling can target specific cosmetic issues, including fine lines and certain scars. Specifically, collagen induction treatments are ideal for minimizing scars caused by acne, since the added volume can make the skin thicker, tighter, and smoother. These benefits also soften the depth of fine lines.
