Microneedling

All clients will receive a complimentary post care skincare kit to take home after their appointment.

At Modern Laser, we’re proud to offer SkinPen Precision Microneedling. SkinPen Precision Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses precise micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural wound healing processes, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. The outcome is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. Microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.

SkinPen is the first microneedling device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), specifically approved to treat facial acne scars for patients aged 22 and older. This approval is based on standardized clinical testing and safety data, providing a level of trust and assurance in its efficacy and safety.

Patients generally experience minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those seeking significant aesthetic improvements without significant interruption to their daily activities. The side effects are typically minor and short-lived, resembling a mild sunburn.

A: The procedure typically takes about 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Q: How many treatments will I need?

Q: What is the recovery time after microneedling?

Recovery time is minimal. You may experience redness and slight swelling for a few days post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients return to their normal activities within a day.

Q: Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
