Our aesthetician Gretchen answers your questions about the Skin Pen and if it’s right for you!

How should I prepare for my treatment?

All treatments require a consultation prior to receiving the treatment to ensure you are a right candidate for the treatment, to answer any questions the client may have about the treatment, number of treatments and frequency, and pricing.

Discontinue blood thinners, aspirin, green tea and ibuprofen 2 weeks prior to appointment.

What concerns will this treatment address?

Fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and acne scaring.

Is there down time?

After the treatment clients face is red. For the first 48 hours no make-up or harsh skin care products, topical or exfoliates.

How many treatments are needed?

3-6 treatments are recommended. For deeper wrinkles and acne scaring 6-9 treatments.

Will there be any discomfort?

Topical numbing cream will be applied for 20-45 minutes prior to treatment to help alleviate discomfort during the treatment.
