Why consider Microneedling at Centre for Pure Skin?

Types of SkinPen Microneedling We Offer

at Centre for Pure Skin

Our clinic offers a variety of SkinPen microneedling treatments tailored to address your specific skin concerns.

SkinPen® Microneedling

As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market, SkinPen® is one of our most popular treatments for a reason. During the procedure, a thin layer of hydrating vitamin B5 gel is applied to the skin to soothe, calm inflammation, and aid in healing. The device then glides over this gel, creating precise, controlled micro-channels that trigger the body's natural production of collagen and elastin. Over a series of sessions, this improves the look of fine lines, texture, tone, and scars. SkinPen® is safe for all skin types and tones, and most patients return to their normal routine quickly.

Platelet Rich Plasma

SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP

For even more transformative results, this option enhances standard SkinPen® microneedling by incorporating platelet-rich plasma (PRP). After a simple blood draw, your own PRP is isolated and applied to the skin, serving as the glide for the SkinPen® device. PRP is packed with powerful growth factors that dramatically accelerate healing and further stimulate collagen and elastin production. This synergy leads to a faster recovery and more significant, longer-lasting improvements in skin quality and texture. It's an excellent choice for patients looking to maximize their results and a chance to achieve profound rejuvenation from each session.

SkinPen® Microneedling Treatment

SkinPen® Microneedling with Ariessence PDGF+

For those seeking the latest in regenerative skincare, this treatment combines SkinPen® microneedling with Ariessence's advanced PDGF+ topical system. Ariessence PDGF+ is a synthetic, lab-created protein that mimics Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), a key element in the body's natural healing and cellular regeneration process. When used as a glide during microneedling, it delivers potent regenerative signals directly into the micro-channels created by the SkinPen®, significantly boosting collagen and elastin production. This option offers a powerful, scientifically advanced alternative to PRP for enhancing skin rejuvenation, reducing fine lines, and improving overall skin vitality without the need for a blood draw.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling

SkinPen Microneedling FAQs

Is SkinPen® Microneedling safe?

Microneedling is a perfectly safe treatment when performed by a licensed provider in a medical facility like Centre for Pure Skin. As an accredited medical facility, we are required to meet the highest standards of health and safety. The SkinPen® device comes with a single-use, sterile needle cartridge and protective sheath that has been made with your safety in mind. People that are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have some other medical conditions should not receive microneedling. We will discuss your medical history during your initial consultation to ensure that this procedure is right for you. 

Most people will receive at least three initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. SkinPen® microneedling can be part of ongoing skin health measures, so you may find that you’ll want to do another round of treatments once a year or every couple of years. 

Because the results of your SkinPen® treatments are tied to your skin’s own natural healing process, it can be slightly different for everyone. Most patients will begin to see the most noticeable results within 6 to 8 weeks following their last treatment. 

The results of your treatments will be the most noticeable for around 6 months following the completion of your treatment sessions. We strongly encourage patients to follow a home care regimen that includes medical-grade skincare products for more dramatic and lasting outcomes. 

Morpheus8 combines pin tip microneedling with fractionated radio frequency technology. It penetrates a slightly deeper layer of the skin and is intended for patients with more moderate skin concerns such as skin laxity, wrinkles, and scarring. It works by creating controlled pin tip ablations and emitting heat into the deeper layers of skin to trigger the skin’s healing response.

SkinPen Microneedling with PRP FAQs

What is a PRP treatment exactly?

When PRP is used during a SkinPen session, the blood is drawn into a small tube, put into a centrifuge, and spun to separate the nutrient-rich plasma from the blood. This plasma is then used in the procedure and is thought to induce a greater healing response for more dramatic and longer lasting results. 

Most patients will receive at least three microneedling treatments with PRP at each session if they choose to include it in their treatment package. 

Just like microneedling without PRP, this is somewhat dependent on your own unique body chemistry. However, most patients will begin to see results during the first month following treatment. 

While not technically proven, it is believed that microneedling with PRP can induce a greater healing response, speed up the outcome of the treatment, reduce healing time, and prolong results. This is based on long term applications of PRP in other medical procedures.
