Skin Needling Plus One: Why Serums Are Latest Trick

More is more is something we’ve been told isn’t necessarily a good thing. But, how sad not to want the most out of life? For skincare treatment, especially reaping rewards means doing as much as possible to make your session work hard for you. So, why not take treatments like R. Pen Skin Needling to new levels of greatness with serums and topical ingredients that push potent concentrations of active ingredients into the skin to condition it better?

Whether you need help with hydration, anti-ageing, Melasma or even hair growth, there’s an add-on liquid solution that can be professionally applied during or straight after your skin needling to amplify the effects. Ready for a double dose of skin magic?

Here’s how it works…

Plus One Treatment: How Skin Needling Makes Actives Work Double Duty

First, take the benefits of skin needling therapies (like micro-needling) and unpack how they save face. Essentially, treatments like R. Pen work through creating tiny micro-channels (thanks to the precise needling) into the skin.

Next up are personalised and very targeted LED lights that are selected to specifically treat a specific skin concern and how it needs to be healed. For instance, Red PDT lights help with de-ageing the skin and stimulating much-needed collagen. At the same time, LED yellow light focuses on dull, uneven skin tone for a glowing complexion. Support with acne, skin sensitivity and even pigmentation and discolouration can be radiated into the skin.

However, the real flex is the opportunity to use serums and other topicals so they sink back into those micro-channels needled into skin. Thanks to these tiny openings, your skin is prepped and ready for the right dose of highly concentrated actives to deeply penetrate and do labour where it’s needed most. Now’s the time to take advantage of skin primed for treatment and properly able to lap up all the goodness of antioxidants, growth factors, vitamins, minerals and more.

Serum Support: The Art of The Tailored Treatment

Including serums and topical ingredients as an add-on to your skin-needling isn’t just a “nice to have.“ Ditch the tired notion that this part of the therapy is a pamper session, and rather view it as healing as R. Pen itself.

In this way, you’re treatment is combining, powering up your session for your skin’s benefit. What you choose as your skin’s remedy all depends on the condition that needs repair. Take Melasma for example; calm inflammation, reduce dark spots and strengthen the skin barrier with Tranexamic Acid. For skin that needs to recover fast, turn to a bio ingredient derived from salmon DNA.

PDRN is excellent at wound-healing and therefore soothes skin post-treatment. It helps speed up recovery and subsides inflammatory responses. A definitive winner if your skin is on the sensitive side, or you want to boost hydration post-skin needling. Another way to glean the benefits of skin restoration post-R-Pen is with a growth factor serum.

This helps to revitalise skin by targeting signs of ageing like wrinkles, as well as general rejuvenation of the skin. While the skin needling treatment itself focuses on improving skin texture and smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, enhance the results with a topical that stimulates repair as well as collagen and elastin production.

Feeling inspired to do a double-take on your next skin treatment? It’s for your skin’s greatest good.

Streamline session time and get the most from your appointment. Not maximising the potential returns is like working out and then skipping the gym for the next couple of weeks; all that hard work for nothing. After all, the best things come with going that extra mile.
