  • SkinPen creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimising cellular damage.

    This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodelling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.

    There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

    Phase 1: Inflammation

    Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

    Phase 2: Proliferation

    The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

    Phase 3: Remodelling

    The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
