A pen of fine needles makes controlled channels into the deep dermis. The repair lays down new collagen over the following months.

Where it works

We set the depth by area, in tenths of a millimeter: shallow over the forehead, deeper over acne scarring on the cheek. The pen does not decide; we do.

What it cannot do

It rebuilds texture. It does not restore lost volume or lift loose skin, and one session is rarely enough.

A typical plan: 3 to 4, every 4 to 6 weeks. Yours is set at the consultation.
