The SkinPen treatment explained
The SkinPen Microneedling treatment is a wonderful facial treatment performed in 4 steps at Skin Improvement Beauty Amsterdam.
- Cleansing the skin
- Application of the numbing Emla cream
- Treating the face with the SkinPen
- Application of day care and SPF
The dermatologist starts by cleansing the skin. If possible, we recommend coming to the treatment without makeup. A light numbing cream is then applied before starting the SkinPen. During the treatment, you will feel a vibrating tingle on the skin. The treatment is not painful. After the treatment, the face is cleansed again and the skin specialist applies a day cream and SPF. The entire treatment takes about 45 minutes.
After the treatment, you will also be given 2 aftercare products to promote skin recovery. It is important to carefully follow the advice of the skin specialist to achieve the best results.
The SkinPen microneedling treatment may be undergone throughout the year. However, it is important to stay out of the sun for a while after treatment and apply an SPF. The dermatologist will advise you on this.
The nice thing about the SkinPen is that the skin specialist can adjust the depth of the needles to suit your skin. The needles shoot invisible holes into the skin, allowing the skin’s natural repair process to begin. Hello new baby skin! By boosting the production of elastin and collagen, the skin becomes firmer, plumper and the complexion becomes more even.

The skin is renewed from the inside out, and the production of collagen and elastin over time creates tighter and fuller skin. In addition, lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and redness are visibly reduced.
-
What is the difference between a DermaPen or SkinPen microneedling treatment?
The SkinPen gives faster and better results because it can make more perforations in the skin. In addition, the needles are so thin that the treatment can be undergone painlessly.
-
How deep do the needles go into the skin during a SkinPen treatment?
The SkinPen always works in the dermis, a layer of connective tissue that lies beneath the epidermis (hypodermis). Unlike other microneedling systems, the needle depth of the SkinPen can be adjusted on the needle itself to a depth between 0.25 and 2.5mm. This allows the needle to never go deeper or shallower into the skin than set, ensuring the safety of the treatment. Thus, work is always done in the dermis. Moreover, the set needle depth is guaranteed stable due to the self-detection function in the SkinPen. As a result, the system itself detects the skin type and adjusts the penetration speed accordingly, ranging from 6300 to 7700 rpm.
