How Does Rejuvapen Work?

Rejuvapen utilizes precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the top layers of the skin. As a result the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal.   Adjustable needle length from .2 to 2.5mm allows customized treatments from skin freshening to deep scar repair anywhere on the body.  Skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles can be visibly reduced, pores become firmer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.

After the initial treatment, patients often notice that their skin has a healthy pink glow and that fine lines are diminished. Skin naturally takes roughly four weeks to synthesize new collagen, but it is not until about four months that patients can see the full effect of Rejuvapen treatments. It is suggested that patients receive four treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

The Treatment:
The Rejuvapen treatment is a micro-needling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen in the skin.  Since micro-needling enhances the production of collagen the treatment can help reverse the signs of sun damage, improve the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation. Fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced and an overall healthier appearance of the skin will occur. A topical numbing cream is used so no pain if felt.

Areas to Treat: Medical Microneedling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs and face.)

Pure Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Serum by Klaire Labs will rejuvenate and restore your skin’s youthful glow. HA is a super moisturizer, capable of holding up to 1000 times its own weight in water. On the skin, HA’s hydrating properties help prevent the appearance of wrinkles. HA helps to bind water, especially for aged skin, which looks drier and thinner. The loss of skins full appearance means that it also looks looser. This leads to wrinkling and the older appearance of the skin. Clinically, this can be referred to as the “plum to prune, grape to raisin phenomenon.”

Topical HA can help by attracting a water layer on top of the skin surface. Topical HA can serve as a hydrating agent, rejuvenating skin and improving the tone and appearance by enhancing the skin’s moisture. Applying a special HA serum that has a light, non-oily texture, can soothe skin, smooth fine lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Pure HA is made with 100% pure, non-animal based, bio-identical hyaluronic acid.

What is the downtime?

Most commonly there may be some redness that resembles a mild sunburn. This may last for 2-4 days. Some patients may have the redness dissipate within 24 hours.  The skin will be pink or red in appearance for 24-48 hours, much like a sunburn with some minor bleeding. The skin may also feel warm, tight and itchy for a few hours/days. Generally the inflammatory reaction of the skin is short and fades significantly after a couple of days. Patients with a more sensitive skin type or older patients may take longer to fully recover.

When will you see results?

Patients may notice healthier looking skin right away. However, keep in mind that dermal collagen remodeling occurs over time and it would not be realistic to expect damage that has happened to the skin over a long period of time to disappear right away. We suggest a series of 4-6 sessions depending on what the treatment is for. Individuals may not see final results until 3-6 months following the last appointment.
