SkinPen in Houston, TX

WHAT IS SKINPEN?

SkinPen is a minimally-invasive micro-needling procedure. It works by microscopically puncturing the target area, stimulating your body’s natural healing response to produce fresh collagen and elastin. As your skin heals, it appears dramatically smoother and more youthful, and your imperfections become less visible. At our MedSpa in Houston SkinPen is capable of treating a variety of the most common surface skin imperfections our clients experience, including:

  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Stretch marks
  • Large pores

AN OVERVIEW OFTHE SKINPEN TREATMENT

Your SkinPen treatment will be performed entirely in Dr. Sukkar’s soothing Houston office. During your appointment, you’ll sit comfortably in a reclining treatment chair while an aesthetician cleanses your face and applies a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.

He will then apply a vitamin C & E serum to your skin, before moving the SkinPen over the treatment area to create tiny wounds. You can expect the entire procedure to last approximately 30 minutes. Immediately after your SkinPen procedure, you will experience a mild sunburn sensation, with minor redness, tenderness and swelling. To minimize these effects and soothe the skin, you’ll be directed to apply a special calming cream to the area over the next few days.

Beyond these effects, you won’t experience any significant downtime, and the redness should completely disappear by the third day. You’ll be able to resume your normal daily activities immediately after your appointment, and you can begin concealing any redness with makeup after the second day. In a few days, you’ll start to see a visible improvement in the appearance of your skin, and your results will continue to progress over the following weeks.
