How is SkinPen different from standard microneedling?
SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device, not a cosmetic roller or pen. It allows precise depth control, consistent needle penetration, and tailored treatment based on your skin concerns. This results in more predictable outcomes, improved skin quality, and a lower risk of complications compared to non-medical devices. The device does not scratch your skin like other devices may do.
