What is Medical Micro-Needling?
Micro-Needling is a medical process that breaks down old scar tissue to stimulate new skin cell growth. Micro-Needling is used to effectively treat mild to moderate acne scaring, fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, pore size, stretch marks and other skin conditions determined by your Physician. Micro-Needling utilizes a pen like device to remove tissue in the treatment area to promote skin rejuvenation and decrease the appearance of scar tissue, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars and pore size.

Dr. Stephens uses the SkinPen®. The SkinPen® is an FDA-approved device that effectively triggers your body’s tissue production processes. It can be used to stimulate the production of new collagen as well as remodel existing tissues to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.
When the SkinPen® is moved across the skin, it rapidly creates a pattern of micro channels in the treatment area. The body reacts to these micro channels by increasing the production of collagen and elastin, leaving the skin smoother, fresher and more uniform. The micro channels also enhance the skin’s ability to absorb medical grade topical treatments such as anti-aging serums and skin lighteners when applied immediately after treatment.
Results?
Micro needling with the SkinPen® is a very effective way to treat many skin concerns, including acne scarring, enlarged pores, stretch marks, wrinkles, and more! It is important to approach treatment with realistic expectations, and results will vary for each person. For the best results, a series of treatments may be recommended. Some patients also consider more advanced dermal fillers.
