Feeling confident in your own skin can be difficult when you suffer from sun spots, acne scarring, and other skin conditions. Here at Adara Surgical Institute, we offer SkinPen treatment to remedy these areas of concern so you can feel radiant — inside and out.
SkinPen treatment is an excellent way to rejuvenate the skin and address areas of concern such as sun spots and facial acne scars. This minimally invasive procedure also boosts collagen and elastin production, making it an excellent way to achieve tighter and younger-looking skin.
While SkinPen is an ideal choice for many individuals, it’s not for everyone. Several factors make someone a good candidate for SkinPen.
Continue reading to learn if SkinPen may be the type of treatment for you and if you qualify as a candidate.
What Makes a Good SkinPen Candidate
Overall Good Health
Individuals in good health are better candidates for SkinPen. However, you must discuss your medical history with your provider before starting treatment, as certain medications may negatively interact with the procedure.
No Active Skin Infections or Inflammation
Before the procedure, ensure the treatment area has healed from any infections, lesions, or inflammation. Microneedling treatment may cause these to get worse or lead to an infection.
Realistic Expectations
It’s crucial to go into your SkinPen treatment with realistic expectations. While you will observe results, you may still identify specific areas that you’d like to continue treating. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve your desired results.
Concerns with Skin Texture or Tone
SkinPen excels in addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, while also proving effective in treating uneven skin tone or texture. If you have any of these concerns, you may be a suitable candidate for SkinPen.
Not Pregnant or Nursing
Pregnant or nursing women are advised to avoid microneedling. Talk with your provider to learn alternative treatments if you fall within this category.
Realistic Recovery Expectations
Microneedling requires a recovery period, during which the skin may appear red or mildly swollen. A good candidate is someone who can follow post-treatment care instructions and is willing to allow the skin to heal properly.
Consultation With a Healthcare Provider
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for SkinPen is to schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider or licensed skincare professional. They can assess your skin type, address your concerns, and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs.
