Say goodbye to wrinkles and acne scars

What is it? The SkinPen® Precision System is the first FDA-cleared device clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles on the neck and facial acne scars.

How does it work? The SkinPen Precision System delivers its results by creating millions of controlled micro-injuries in the skin, eliciting the body’s natural wound healing cascade this process begins with injury and inflammation, then tissue proliferation, and ultimately results in tissue remodeling, including new collagen and elastin. SkinPen is approved for use on patients 22 years old and above.
