FAQs

Real Client Questions, Expert Answers

Why use SkinPen?

SkinPen® is clinically proven to fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars. In fact, 90% of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the treatment to friends and family. It’s a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little to no downtime. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen sets the industry standard for safety.

Who should not use SkinPen?

SkinPen® should not be used on patients who have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s); open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s); an allergy to stainless steel or anesthetics; a hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; are pregnant or nursing; or are currently taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane). Talk to your doctor to see if this treatment is right for you.

Is SkinPen safe?

Yes, by design. SkinPen’s patented – and single-use – sterile needle cartridge is built with safety in mind. SkinPen® is also surrounded by a custom-designed BioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent cross contamination between procedures. That’s part of the reason SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device. Learn more by reviewing our patient labeling document.

What is SkinPen� ?

SkinPen� results have been graded based on the G.Lemperle Wrinkle Assessment Scale, the Clinician�s Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (CGAIS), and the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). The research is clear.

How does SkinPen� work?

SkinPen� creates hundreds to thousands of �micro� skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin�s natural wound healing process � inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling � to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
