Are you looking for a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin, minimize acne scars, and reduce the appearance of fine lines? At Medical Aesthetics on Tremont in Boston, MA, we offer advanced microneedling treatments using FDA-approved devices, SkinPen and Rejuvapen. These state-of-the-art tools stimulate collagen production, improving your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Whether you’re addressing sun damage or seeking an anti-aging boost, microneedling delivers noticeable, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny microchannels in the skin. These controlled injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, triggering collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
At our Boston practice, we use two FDA-approved devices for microneedling:
- SkinPen (Gliding Method): A precise tool that glides over the skin, creating even microchannels. Ideal for treating large areas like the face, neck, and décolletage.
- Rejuvapen (Stamping Method): A versatile device that stamps targeted areas, making it perfect for addressing specific concerns like acne scars or fine lines.
Microneedling is highly effective for treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
