Microneedling Technology with MicroPen EVO™
Microneedling can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin. It can minimize stretch marks, scars, wrinkles and other skin concerns.
TYPES OF MICRONEEDLING: PRP AND PEPTIDE SERUM
PRP: Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as “PRP” is a treatment whereby a person’s own blood is used to help fight the visible signs of aging skin. Platelets contain a concentrated amount of growth factors, and these growth factors can help slow and even reverse some of the visible signs of aging by stimulating new collagen production.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
The MicroPen EVO is intended to be used as a treatment to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults aged 22 years or older.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
Once the treatment begins, it typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
WHAT WILL MY SKIN LOOK LIKE AFTERWARD?
Some minor pinpoint bleeding is to be expected immediately post-treatment, followed by bright redness, which typically subsides after 2-3 days, depending on the level of treatment. Some patients may opt for a more aggressive treatment depending on their social downtime preference and skin needs.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Because of its low downtime, patients often opt for light MicroPen EVO treatments every 1-2 months simply out of a desire to maintain their appearance. However, if your goal is to resolve specific skin irregularities, your medical provider might suggest a series of 3+ treatments at 4-6 week intervals.
WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS?
One of the most exciting perks of the MicroPen EVO is the immediate “glow” patients can see as soon as the procedure is finished. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Results continue to improve up to six months after the treatment.
