SkinPen
The Treatment
Skin Needling has become one of the most popular rejuvenation procedures on the aesthetics market, but have you heard of SkinPen? As the world’s first FDA-cleared skin remodelling device, SkinPen is already becoming a household name among aestheticians across the globe. At La Fuente, our goal is to offer the most advanced treatment options and the best possible results for our clients, which is why introducing this device to our clinic was a no-brainer. In the years since launching this top-tier treatment, the experts at Crown Aesthetics have earned numerous accolades with SkinPen, including ‘Best In Industry – Non-surgical Innovation’ at The Aesthetic Awards 2022.
How Does SkinPen Work?
Like similar procedures, SkinPen works by stimulating tissue remodelling and collagen production by creating thousands of microtraumas across the treatment area. These tiny punctures encourage the skin’s natural healing processes without causing scar tissue to form. What’s unique about this device in particular is that it has been proven to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and facial acne with unrivalled safety and efficiency. This treatment can also be used in conjunction with facials, peels and skin tightening procedures to enhance your results even further. The device itself features a patented single-use needle cartridge and a custom-designed ‘BioSheath’, both of which ensure complete sterilisation and prevent cross-contamination.
Am I Suitable For Treatment?
If you’re looking for a solution to fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, we would highly recommend this particular treatment. SkinPen is special in that it can be used to treat men and women of all skin types, which can’t be said for many alternatives. Also, this procedure can be repeatedly undertaken for many years without the risk of long-term damage to the skin. There are certain factors that would lead your aesthetician to deem you unsuitable for this type of procedure, including those with irritation, sores and open wounds in the desired treatment area. There are also a handful of health concerns that would prevent you from being able to try SkinPen, but this is exactly what your consultation is for.

FAQ's
Does it hurt?
This is a minimally invasive procedure and the needles are so fine that the likelihood of you experiencing any serious pain or discomfort during your treatment sessions is highly unlikely.
When will results become visible?
We would expect to see visible results one month after your first treatment. In fact, the creators of SkinPen highlight that 94% of patients said they saw an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles at this stage, while 80% of patients noticed a reduction in the prominence of their acne scars after one month. Your results are expected to last up to 6 months after your last session.
How many treatments are required?
As we said, you’ll likely see an improvement in your skin after just one session, but we usually recommend a course of 4-6 treatments to fully take advantage of the capabilities of this device and to see the best results.
Is there any downtime?
We would expect to see some mild inflammation, redness and flaking of the skin after each treatment, but these side effects should subside within a few days and shouldn’t interfere with your schedule. Almost all patients can resume their routine immediately. At the most, you may require 24 hours to let your skin settle before returning to normal activities.
