Generally, 3 - 6 treatments are recommended, depending on your skin concern.

The ideal time between treatments is 4 - 6 weeks.

At VERSA we suggest waiting at least 2 weeks after having any cosmetic injectables before having a SkinPen treatment, and no sooner than 1 week before any cosmetic injectables.

The treatment itself typically takes 30 minutes plus your initial assessment, consultation, and consent.

A few things that need to be considered pre-treatment are:

~avoid sun exposure/burns 24 hours prior to treatment.

~avoid the use of vitamin A 24 hours prior to treatment.

~not suitable for clients who have been on Roaccutane within half the amount of time they were on the medication.

~avoid fish oil a few days prior and post treatment

~ Downtime is minimal, ranging from 24 - 72 hours depending on the individual

~ Post-treatment, your skin will be a little red - this is the desired skin response. How long the redness will last depends on the individual, but is usually 12-36 hours.

~ It is also normal for the skin to feel dry a few days post-treatment, then refreshed and smooth.

~ Avoid strenuous exercise 48hrs post-treatment and sun exposure 72 hours post-treatment.

~ The treatment will start with a double cleanse to remove any dirt and oil.

~ Then an antiseptic wash will be used to ensure full cleanliness.

~ Skinfuse Lift HG is applied to protect the skin during treatment.

~ SkinPen is then slowly moved over the skin one area at a time. Some areas may be more uncomfortable than others but tolerable. The SkinPen needle depths are adjusted to tailor each treatment to the client’s needs and response.

~ You will be given the remaining tube of Skinfuse LIFT HG to take home and apply as needed until the tube is finished. This will help hydrate and cool the treated areas.

~ You will also be given a tube of Skinfuse RESCUE to apply the days following treatment to help with normal skin tightness and dryness. Both these products are included in the cost of your treatment.
