What is the Eclipse MicroPen?

Undoubtedly, the Eclipse MicroPen automated micro-needling device is the most effective, reliable instrument currently available for performing Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy (PCIT). Unquestionably, this elegant tool can be used for the successful treatment of a variety of indications. Obviously, MicroPen creates a series of predictable, controlled epidermal and dermal micro-injuries, thereby stimulating the body’s immune response to produce new collagen and elastin. Also, MicroPen is used in combination with Hyaluronic Acid peptides gel and other peptide gels to hydrate and re-epithelialize the skin.

Every time I walk in this place I receive a warm welcome. It really feels like they’re here to take care of me. It’s been so hard trying to live a normal life with all the scars on my chest, but after a few sessions of fraxel and micropen injections at skin perfect brothers I don’t have to worry about what I wear as much anymore.

Clearly, it is also used extensively to infuse increased absorption, anti-redness, lightening agents and anti-acne serums to the needed depth. Importantly, the device is battery operated, also allowing for freedom of movement without interference from an attached power cord. Absolutely, your Micropen session will feel similar to microdermabrasion, and we’ll apply topical numbing cream about 15 minutes before your treatment. Along with each session lasting about 30 minutes, typically clients will experience 1-2 days of mild redness. Additionally, for skin rejuvenation, we’ll likely recommend a series of three treatments once a month. Above all, for deeper acne scarring we may recommend a series of 6-8 appointments.

Micropen Before and After: The Art of Natural Transformation

Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars

Hypertrophic and Keloid scars are both raised scars that look different from any other scars. While hypertrophic scars get smaller, keloid scars stay the same.

How do I know if my scar is keloid?

Appear slowly. It can take 3 to 12 months or longer to see the first signs of a keloid.
Begin as a raised pink, red, or purple scar
Feel soft and doughy or hard and rubbery
Cause pain, itch, or tenderness
Become darker in color with time

Micropen Microneedling

Micropen – Microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
