Ultherapy helps to resculpt your face, and a Clear + Brilliant laser facial helps with skin tone, but to help remove fine lines and improve the texture of your skin, a different kind of facial procedure is necessary. This is where microneedling with Rejuvapen comes in. With Rejuvapen, nine precisely spaced micro-needles create invisible micro-perforations in the skin in a quick and nearly painless fashion. The skin reacts to these perforations by boosting collagen and elastin production, providing natural rejuvenation of the skin from the inside out.

Not only does this switch on cellular regeneration, but the use of growth factors during the microneedling procedure greatly enhances the skin’s regenerative properties. You will notice firm, youthful skin with a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles in addition to smaller pores and improved skin texture. Rejuvapen Microneedling has minimal down and recovery compared to surgical face options. After just one treatment, Rejuvapen Microneedling can drastically improve the skin, giving a smooth, firm and youthful complexion.

How Does Rejuvapen Microneedling Work?

The Rejuvapen Microneedling System is an advanced, FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses several stainless steel needle cartridges to puncture the skin. This creates invisible micro-perforations to induce the body’s natural wound healing response. Through the use of this innovative microneedling technology, the body begins to increase collagen and elastin production deep within the skin tissue, creating new skin cells to replace old, damaged skin cells.

Rejuvapen Microneedling in Santa Barbara takes less than an hour and requires no recovery time. A Rejuvapen Microneedling treatment can be an excellent non-surgical facial procedure that delivers exceptional results for patients who don’t want to commit to more invasive surgical options. In as little time as it takes to have lunch, you can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scarring and even stretch marks.

FAQs

What does Rejuvapen Microneedling do?

As we age, collagen production significantly declines, leading to the skin’s inability to repair damage as easily as it did in our youth. This loss of collagen production results in saggy skin, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and unwanted hyperpigmentation.

Rejuvapen Microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to pierce the skin and create micro-injuries to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins are the building blocks of healthy skin cells. New collagen and elastin fibers are produced in the days and weeks following a Rejuvapen Microneedling session, gradually revealing a refreshed and youthful complexion.

Who is a suitable candidate for Rejuvapen Microneedling?

The best candidates for Rejuvapen Microneedling are patients suffering from acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture and fine lines and wrinkles. Rejuvapen Microneedling is suitable for men and women of any age, skin type and skin tone.

Rejuvapen Microneedling is good for patients who wish to get a jumpstart on anti-aging prevention, but it is also beneficial for older patients who may already have skin concerns they wish to address.

How long does it take to see Rejuvapen Microneedling results?

The results from Rejuvapen Microneedling can be seen immediately and continue to improve over the coming days and weeks as new collagen is produced. However, the most dramatic and final results from Rejuvapen Microneedling will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment.

How often can I get Rejuvapen Microneedling done?

Rejuvapen Microneedling sessions are often performed in a series of three to four treatments spaced out every four to six weeks. Although you will see an immediate improvement in your skin after one Rejuvapen Microneedling session, the most dramatic and final results are seen after a series of treatments.

Our trained aesthetic staff will give you a customized treatment plan based on your skin concerns and aesthetic goals to ensure long-lasting results that you will love.

Are Rejuvapen Microneedling results permanent?

Results from Rejuvapen Microneedling are long-lasting; however, depending on the severity of your skin concerns, more than one session may not be sufficient to see optimal results.

It’s common for patients who wish to preserve their results and treat future skin concerns that may arise to undergo regular maintenance sessions.

What is recovery like after a Rejuvapen Microneedling session?

Rejuvapen Microneedling for skin tightening is quick and easy compared to surgical face procedures. There is no required downtime after a Rejuvapen Microneedling session. Your skin will be red and may feel tight and dry, but this subsides within a few days as it heals.

You may return to work or school immediately after your Rejuvapen Microneedling session. However, it’s important to wear sufficient sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure when possible. You should also not apply makeup for the first 24 to 72 hours after Rejuvapen Microneedling.

At Montecito Plastic Surgery, Rejuvapen Microneedling patients will be given detailed aftercare instructions following their microneedling treatment to ensure optimal results for skin that’s smooth, supple and firm.
