At Dr. John Lee’s clinic, located in Bryn Mawr and serving the greater Philadelphia area, we specialize in cutting-edge anti-aging treatments, including SkinPen Microneedling. This procedure, available with or without PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), is designed to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating its natural ability to repair and regenerate.
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create thousands of micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin. These micro-injuries kickstart the body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are vital for maintaining youthful, elastic skin.
Pricing and Options
- Standard Microneedling: $450 per treatment
- Microneedling with PRP/PRF: $850 per treatment
Adding PRP or PRF involves using a concentrated serum derived from your own blood to enhance the healing and rejuvenative processes initiated by microneedling.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
- Reduces the Appearance of Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production to naturally fill in lines and smooth out skin texture.
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Evens out pigmentation issues and improves the overall radiance of your skin.
- Minimizes Pore Size and Scarring: Effectively reduces the appearance of pores and scars from acne or other skin injuries.
- Enhances Skin Firmness: Tightens loose skin, offering a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
Who is a Candidate for Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for adults of all ages and skin types who are looking to improve their skin’s appearance and health. Ideal candidates are those experiencing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture or tone
- Scars from acne, surgery, or injury
- Signs of aging or sun damage
- Large pores
How It Works: Microneedling with and without PRP/PRF
- Preparation: The skin is cleaned and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Microneedling: The SkinPen is gently pressed against the skin, swiftly moving across the treatment area to create micro-injuries.
- Application of PRP/PRF (if applicable): If undergoing treatment with PRP or PRF, the serum is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling to maximize absorption and effectiveness.
