Tiếng ViệtIn the field of modern skin aesthetics, skin pen technology is emerging as an optimal treatment solution for damaged, aging and dull skin. With the principle of micro-points stimulating collagen regeneration, this method not only improves the skin surface but also restores the structure from deep within. Let’s explore the details of this technology with HBIO Clinic in the following article.
Application of skin pen technology (microneeding) in treatment
Skin Pen technology works based on the principle of microneeding – that is, creating extremely small and controlled micro-injuries on the skin surface thanks to the system of super-thin needles. When the needles come into contact with the skin, it stimulates the body to initiate a natural self-healing mechanism, promoting the regeneration of the epidermis and increasing collagen and elastin production deep in the dermis.
Thanks to its ability to act precisely and regularly, this technology is applied to treat skin problems such as pitted scars, long-term acne scars, fine wrinkles, poor skin elasticity, uneven skin tone and large pores. In addition, Skin Pen also supports skin restructuring after damage caused by sunlight or aging, helping the skin surface become smoother, brighter and more even-toned.
This is a non-invasive treatment method that does not cause deep damage and can be combined with specialized essences such as recovery serum, anti-aging serum or whitening serum to increase treatment effectiveness. Skin Pen has been FDA approved as safe, suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
Advantages and disadvantages of skinpen technology (microneedling)
Before deciding to treat with the skin pen method, customers should clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of this method to make the right choice for their skin condition.
Advantages of skin pen technology:
- The microneeding process with skin pen only affects the skin surface without damaging the deep epidermis, limiting the risk of infection.
- The skin becomes smoother, brighter and more even-toned after about 3-5 treatments depending on the skin condition.
- Compared to laser or deep peel methods, skin pen helps the skin recover quickly, with less peeling and no need for long-term recovery.
- This technology can be applied to not only the face but also the neck, back of the hand, back and areas of scars that are difficult to improve.
Disadvantages of skin pen technology:
The effect takes time to be seen clearly because the mechanism is natural regeneration, the skin usually needs at least 4 weeks to start showing clear improvement after treatment.
Some cases may experience mild redness, burning or temporary peeling, especially with sensitive skin.
Skin pen treatment process (microneeding)
To achieve optimal effectiveness and ensure skin safety, the skin pen treatment process must follow standard steps, performed by a technician or dermatologist with specialized training.
Step 1: In-depth skin examination and examination
The doctor or specialist will examine the overall skin with modern analysis equipment, assess the condition of scars, aging, elasticity… to come up with a suitable treatment plan.
Step 2: Cleanse the skin and apply anesthesia
The skin is deeply cleaned to remove dirt and sebum, then applied local anesthesia for about 20-30 minutes to limit the stinging sensation during the micro-pointing process.
Step 3: Perform microneeding with the skin pen
The technician uses the micro-needle tip of the skin pen device to evenly impact the skin area that needs treatment, stimulating micro-injuries to activate the self-healing mechanism.
Step 4: Apply specialized skin regeneration serum
Immediately after micro-needling, restorative or collagen-stimulating serums will be applied directly to penetrate deeply, increasing the effectiveness of regeneration and soothing the skin.
Step 5: Post-treatment skin care instructions
Customers are instructed to use appropriate recovery products, while also paying attention to avoiding the sun, limiting cosmetics and moisturizing properly for the first 3–5 days.
Cost of skin pen treatment (microneeding)
The price for a skin pen treatment usually ranges from 57,41-76,55 USD/session. The specific cost depends on many factors related to the skin condition and the prescribed treatment regimen.
- Area of skin to be treated: Large areas of skin such as the back, arms or the entire face will cost more than small areas such as the forehead, cheeks or chin.
- Degree of skin damage: Cases of deep pitted scars, many wrinkles or severely aging skin require higher techniques and longer treatment times, so the cost will increase accordingly.
- Type of serum or combined supporting active ingredient: The use of high-end regenerative serums, serums containing peptides, stem cells or specialized HA will affect the cost of each treatment session.
- Number of sessions in the treatment course: Normally, customers are recommended to perform 3-5 sessions to achieve optimal results.
