WHO IS IN NEED OF A SKINPEN TREATMENT?
A SkinPen treatment is great for patients who want softer, smoother, younger-looking skin without having to undergo a surgical procedure or put up with long downtimes/recoveries. Patients must be in good health and should also have realistic expectations.
Heavy drinkers or smokers are advised to reduce or quit the habit before the treatment to fully enjoy its benefits. Patients who have fresh wounds on their faces are advised to wait for the injuries to fully heal before applying for a SkinPen treatment.
