Microneedling With the Rejuvapen: What to Know Before Your Treatment
Your skin works hard every day to protect you from the sun, stress, environmental pollutants, and the natural effects of aging. Over time, these factors can begin to show as fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and a loss of firmness. One reason is that your body naturally produces less collagen as you age. Because collagen helps keep skin strong, smooth, and resilient, this gradual decline can make signs of aging more noticeable.
For those looking for an additional boost, microneedling offers a minimally invasive way to encourage the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping improve its overall texture, tone, and appearance.
Anderson Family Dental stays up to date with the latest technology for dental and cosmetic procedures. We offer microneedling with the Rejuvapen. We are here to answer your questions so you can feel confident getting the care you deserve. Let’s take a closer look at how microneedling with the Rejuvapen can refresh your skin without a major procedure, the benefits it offers, and the results you can expect, including smoother texture, improved tone, and a more youthful-looking complexion.
WHAT IS REJUVAPEN MICRONEEDLING?
Although microneedling may sound like a painful and scary procedure, it is minimally invasive and painless. The Rejuvapen uses tiny needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These microinjuries stimulate the body’s wound-healing process, which boosts collagen and elastin production.
The increase in collagen and elastin makes this the perfect treatment for many skin concerns, from loose skin, texture, scars, pore size, and hyperpigmentation. Cell turnover stimulates the formation of new capillaries, which in turn increases collagen and elastin production in the skin's dermal layer.
WHAT SKIN CONDITIONS CAN REJUVAPEN TREAT?
The Rejuvapen is an innovative new technology that can improve your appearance with little recovery time. This stimulation of new collagen will create tighter skin, smaller pores, and significantly improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Microneedling with the Rejuvapen can improve the overall health and circulation of the skin and reduce the appearance of the following:
Mitigates Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Closes or Reduces Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture
Subtly lifts and tightens loose skin
Uneven skin tone
Sun-damaged or dull-looking skin
Certain types of scars
HOW DOES REJUVAPEN COMPARE TO TRADITIONAL MICRONEEDLING?
Most microneedling skin treatments use a derma-roller to trigger the skin’s natural repairing process. The Rejuvapen, however, is a motorized device that allows our experienced providers to fully control and customize your microneedling treatment. Rejuvapen can create tiny, virtually invisible microchannels in the skin, enabling treatment of multiple areas of the body and a variety of skin types.
The Rejuvapen procedure uses nine micro-needles with a unique dial that can be adjusted to penetrate the epidermis to different depths, depending on the severity of the issue being treated and the area being treated. The unique design of the Rejuvapen allows it to reach hard-to-reach areas of the face, and an adjustable speed dial provides greater control.
Traditional dermal rollers tug at the skin, increasing the risk of tearing, discomfort, and infection. Rejuvapen is specially designed to provide safe treatment, with needles placed in an up-and-down motion perpendicular to your skin to improve comfort and results.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A REJUVAPEN TREATMENT?
The first step of any cosmetic procedure at Anderson Family Dental is an evaluation and consultation with our cosmetic professional. When you meet with our skincare experts, you will have the opportunity to explore your skin rejuvenation options and discuss your specific skin care concerns. If we determine that Rejuvapen skin needling is a good treatment option for you, we will show you to a comfortable treatment room to begin.
Before your facial rejuvenation, we will cleanse and prepare your skin to minimize the risk of infection. Rejuvapen creates micro-channels in the skin; topical solutions may also be used in conjunction with treatment to enhance your results. Hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, or growth factors are commonly used.
Our skincare expert will slowly pass the pen device over your skin in a circular motion to ensure optimal coverage and treatment. Treatment with the Rejuvapen is relatively comfortable, and no numbing cream is needed.
WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER MICRONEEDLING?
After your procedure, you may notice mild redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, but these temporary effects typically fade within a day or so. During the first few days, give your skin extra care by keeping it moisturized and protecting it from the sun with SPF.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE REJUVAPEN RESULTS?
Our patients often see quick results from microneedling, usually within a few days after their procedure. You can expect to see optimal skin rejuvenation after several months of continued care as your skin’s natural healing process takes place and collagen and elastin production increases. For this reason, we often recommend a series of treatments depending on your unique skin care needs.
HOW CAN YOU CARE FOR YOUR SKIN AFTER REJUVAPEN?
After treatment, follow your provider’s recommended skincare routine to support proper healing. Keep the treated area clean and moisturized, protect your skin from sun exposure, and use sunscreen as directed when appropriate. Avoid picking, scratching, or exfoliating the skin while it heals, and follow your provider’s guidance on when to resume makeup and active skincare ingredients.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR REJUVAPEN?
Adults interested in improving skin texture and appearance.
People concerned about fine lines, acne scars, pores, or uneven texture.
Patients looking for a minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation.
A professional consultation is important to determine whether microneedling is appropriate for your skin type, and your medical history will be taken into account.
