SkinPen® Microneedling in Peoria, AZ

When over-the-counter skin care products are no longer effective but you aren't ready for surgical procedures, consider nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatments such as SkinPen microneedling. Dr. Matthew Lynch is pleased to perform microneedling (collagen induction therapy) at his office in Peoria, AZ. Microneedling with SkinPen uses many fine-gauge needles to effectively and safely create micro-injuries in the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the natural production of elastin and collagen, two nutrients that increase the overall health and appearance of your skin. Often combined with other skin treatments, like vitamin serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), microneedling can help minimize pores, stretch marks, and scars. Make an appointment for a consultation at Lynch Vein & Aesthetics to learn more about the benefits of microneedling and how to customize your treatment for your needs and goals.

Microneedling with the SkinPen offers a variety of impressive benefits. At Lynch Vein & Aesthetics, we recommend this treatment for Peoria, AZ patients seeking the following benefits:

• Balanced skin appearance and texture
• Reduced visibility of wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging
• Decreased scar tissue, hyperpigmentation, or stretch marks
• Low-risk, noninvasive treatment option

SkinPen's collagen induction therapy with microneedling is done in a private treatment room in around 30 – 60 minutes with local anesthesia or numbing cream if requested, but patients typically report mild or no pain and discomfort. The skin being addressed will be cleaned before the microneedling handpiece is passed evenly over. Once the microneedling is complete, a treatment like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a vitamin-infused serum can be applied for deeper penetration of the nutrients into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with UV protection because your skin will be more sensitive after the treatment.

What kind of results can I expect after a series of SkinPen microneedling treatments?
After a series of SkinPen microneedling treatments, you can expect to see an improvement in the texture and tone of your skin. Common results include a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Additionally, many people notice their skin looking more vibrant and youthful, with a smoother surface and improved elasticity. The full benefits of the treatment typically become more evident over time as the skin continues to heal and produce new collagen.

Is SkinPen microneedling safe for all skin types and tones?
SkinPen microneedling is generally considered safe for all skin types and tones. Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling does not rely on heat, which makes it a suitable option for individuals with darker skin tones who may be at risk of hyperpigmentation from other procedures. However, it is crucial to have a consultation with a certified provider to evaluate your skin and discuss any potential risks based on your specific skin condition and history.

How long does a SkinPen microneedling session take?
A typical SkinPen microneedling session usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific skin concerns being addressed. This time frame includes preparing the skin, the actual microneedling procedure, and the application of post-treatment products. If you are receiving additional treatments in conjunction with microneedling, the overall appointment time may be longer.
