Caring about your appearance includes looking after your skin. Having a beautiful complexion takes time and effort, whether it is moisturizing, monitoring your UV exposure, or using any number of different at-home treatments. However, even with your best efforts, you may find that the signs of aging and the damage that comes from daily wear-and-tear remain visible. When your at-home strategies are not providing the desired outcome, it is time to explore SkinPen in Lee’s Summit.
Our skilled team at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Med Spa is here to help you find the treatment that delivers the results you desire. We will guide you through the options that will yield the best outcomes and align with your aesthetic goals, lifestyle, and budget. Our med spa team will keep you centered in your care plan and ensure that you are an active participant in your aesthetic journey.
In Lee’s Summit, SkinPen is a particular version of microneedling that uses 14 surgical-grade stainless steel needles. Microneedling refers to the practice of puncturing the surface of your skin with small needles to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and encourage your body’s natural healing. Collagen and elastin are proteins in your skin that provide it with a youthful, radiant look and are the support structures under the skin that provide firmness, density, and flexibility. While it might feel counterintuitive to intentionally pierce your skin, the repair that follows encourages your body to rejuvenate signs of aging and wear on your skin.
SkinPen microneedling in Lee’s Summit may be ideal if you:
If you are experiencing an active skin infection or condition, such as cystic acne or eczema, you should postpone your SkinPen treatment. Our goal is to give you the best experience possible when it comes to your comfort, safety, and satisfaction. Your recovery is an integral part of that, and we do not want to exacerbate any condition you may be suffering from. Your overall health impacts your body’s ability to heal, and when you undergo SkinPen, we want your body to focus on healing that specific region, rather than diverting its healing capabilities between multiple different concerns.
In the first step of your SkinPen treatment session in Lee’s Summit, we will thoroughly cleanse your face to remove any imperfections or dirt that may interfere with your results. We will then provide you with a topical cream to numb the target surface region. Once you are numb, which takes around 30 minutes, we will remove the cream and prepare your skin for treatment. We coat the surface of the skin with glide gel to the pen to glide easily across the surface of your skin. The device creates 1600 micro penetrations per second as it moves over your skin, which will feel like minor vibrations to you. The procedure usually takes around one hour to complete.
After your SkinPen microneedling session, you may want to apply a serum or growth factor to help your skin recover and maximize your aesthetic results. The channels made during your SkinPen treatment enable enhanced absorption of products.
You deserve to look and feel your best every day, and at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Med Spa, we can help you achieve this.
