SkinPen
Precision micro-needling
SkinPen
Acne scars often serve as reminders of past skin struggles, typically emerging from inflamed blemishes. Deep pore damage can result in lesions, and as the skin attempts to heal, it may form raised tissue and an uneven surface. Conversely, a loss of tissue can also lead to a rough, uneven texture.
If you’re dealing with facial acne scars, you’re not alone. The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology reports that 80% of individuals aged 11-30 experience acne and its resulting scars. SkinPen can enhance the appearance of facial acne scars, promoting smooth, healthy skin that radiates from within. Discover younger, firmer, and more radiant skin with SkinPen!
What is SkinPen?
SkinPen is the first microneedling device approved by the FDA, clinically proven to be safe. With 94% of patients noticing an improvement in the appearance of their fine lines and wrinkles one month post-treatment and 80% of patients seeing an improvement in acne scars, this treatment effectively reduces the appearance of neck wrinkles and facial acne scars for individuals aged 22 and older. With just three non-invasive and affordable treatments, spaced 30 days apart, you can enhance your appearance for up to six months after the final session – allowing you to step out with renewed confidence.

How does the SkinPen Work?
SkinPen creates many tiny punctures in the skin each second. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, which includes inflammation, new tissue growth, and remodeling. This helps the skin heal and renew itself without forming scar tissue. Most people can go back to their normal activities within 24 hours.
SkinPen for Neck Wrinkles
The skin on your neck is different from the skin on your face. This delicate area has less fatty tissue and collagen, along with fewer oil glands, making it more susceptible to wrinkles, crepey texture, and sagging. This is why the neck often shows the first signs of aging.
Additionally, modern habits contribute to neck wrinkles, often referred to as “Tech Neck.” Frequently looking down at devices like phones can increase and accelerate the appearance of horizontal neck wrinkles, lines, and creases.
Whether caused by aging or tech habits, neck wrinkles can affect your confidence. Instead of hiding them, consider SkinPen, which can improve the appearance of neck wrinkles and reveal your best, firm, radiant, youthful-looking skin. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling treatment, SkinPen is the preferred choice of leading dermatologists and estheticians and is recommended by 90% of clinical trial participants.

FAQ
What happens during a Tixel treatment?
Tixel treatment lasts roughly 20-30 minutes, depending on the area(s) being treated. However we allow 1 hour 20 minutes in total for the Consultation and aftercare advise.
Prior to treatment, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the face to minimize any discomfort. But the treatment can be done without numbing cream if you so wish.
During treatment, the Tixel machine will be applied to the area(s) of the skin being treated. During treatment, thermal energy will be controlled and varied depending on the condition being treated, through reducing skin contact and thermal conductivity.
When will you see results with Tixel?
Results can be seen as little as a week after treatment, however for longer lasting results we recommend a course of treatments.
In the 10 days following Tixel treatment, the damaged skin surface slowly recovers and heals up, leaving visibly fresh looking, smoother and younger skin. The skin lines, wrinkles and pigmentations will be reduced.
How does Tixel compare to other skin resurfacing techniques?
Tixel can be used for the areas which cannot be treated by these other methods of skin resurfacing safely, such as the eyelids, around the eye (periorbital area), marionette lines and other areas.
Tixel is superior in treating the face, neck and décolletage. The other reason for superiority of Tixel is the unique advantage of being far less painful and the downtime/recovery period with Tixel is much shorter, and almost non-existent, despite the fact that after a course of Tixel treatment, the results may last up to 2 years.
Tixel is thought to be an unrivalled treatment, and the results of eyelid treatment is thought to be comparable with blepharoplasty.
Does Tixel hurt?
During Tixel treatment the patient may feel some heat, similar to sunburn. There may be slight discomfort. Although it is not necessary, topical numbing cream may be applied to areas being treated, prior to Tixel treatment.
How long does Tixel treatment take?
The treatment itself take around 20-30 minutes depending on the area being treated. However, we allow 1 hour 20 minutes for a full consultation pre-treatment and aftercare advise post treatment.
What care should I take after treatment?
After the Tixel treatment, the area may feel hot and look red. It is best to leave the area alone for several hours, then you may apply post care cream and follow the aftercare advise given by your practitioner.
How many treatments will I need?
After the Tixel treatment, the area may feel hot and look red. It is best to leave the area alone for several hours, then you may apply post care cream and follow the aftercare advise given by your practitioner.
