SkinPen Microneedling
Our Formula
The SkinPen Microneedling device is the first FDA-approved microneedling pen and is an industry leading treatment. The collagen inducing power of microneedling uses the natural response of your own cells to lay down skin-firming and tightening collagen.
This collagen boosting intervention is recommended to help strengthen your skin from within. It helps improve tone, clarity and fine lines. Additionally, it can help improve scarring and stretch marks. It revives the skin and is a safe treatment for most skin types.
Prior to treatment, topical anaesthetic cream is applied on the skin. A customised microneedling treatment is performed. Following treatment the skin will appear red for hours to a few days depending on the procedure performed. At Le Formulaire, based on our assessment of your skin’s needs, we often combine SkinPen with PRP, LED and mesotherapy to enhance your results even further.
What to expect at your appointment.
The treatment takes one hour.
We will fully cleanse your skin and apply topical anaesthetic.
We numb your skin for 30 minutes to ensure your utmost comfort.
As the anaesthetic is taking effect, feel free to use this time to read, listen to music, or catch up on emails.
We will then begin our SkinPen Microneedling treatment, which lasts 20 minutes.
We will cleanse your skin once again, and go through your aftercare.
