SkinPen® Precision Indications

SkinPen® Precision Microneedling System is a medical device intended to treat facial acne scars in adults aged 22 years or older.  SkinPen® Precision Microneedling System is also intended to help improve the cosmetic appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, surgical scars, enlarged pores and pigmentation conditions (dyschromia).

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

  • Skin aging is a natural aspect of the aging process.
  • As we grow older, our bodies experience structural and functional changes in extracellular matrix components, especially collagen and elastin.
  • These alterations can lead to the development of fine lines and wrinkles—visible signs of aging that are influenced by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices.
