How Does Microneedling Work?
BSN, RN
The SkinPen Microneedling device is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art precision microneedling tool available at The Marigold Spa in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Microneedling is ideal for addressing acne scars, the symptoms of aging skin (wrinkles and fine lines), and to increase the efficacy of topical skin-care products.
Microneedling is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural ability to produce new collagen formation, creating healthier skin. This repair process is accelerated by Microneedling through the formation of microscopic channels, which also allow product to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
