SkinPen Microneedling
for Buffalo, NY
Hitting reset on your skin can be as simple as a 30-minute microneedling treatment.

SkinPen Follows A 3-Step Process
1 Inflammation
SkinPen’s microneedles pierce the skin, which triggers your immune system to perform its duties of disinfection, debris removal, increased circulation, and new tissue creation.
2 Proliferation
The micro-wounds that SkinPen makes are then rebuilt using new granulation cells, including collagen proteins. A new network of blood vessels develops as well.
3 Remodeling
New dermal tissues and blood vessels replace the wound, which are made of rich collagen and elastin proteins to improve skin elasticity and appearance.
