Are you tired of acne scars and skin irregularities? Carolina Plastic Surgery offers a transformative solution that will greatly improve the quality of your skin with long-lasting results.
Micro-needling is one of the world’s most advanced skincare technologies that effectively targets a wide range of skin imperfections and creates a smoother, softer complexion overall. We utilize the SkinPen – the latest in micro-needling and Collagen Induction Therapy technology.Benefits
SkinPen micro-needling can help target and reduce the appearance of multiple skin imperfections, including:- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Scars
- Acne scarring
SkinPen micro-needling typically carries no side effects aside from slight flushing or redness of treated areas, which typically lasts no longer than the first few days.
What is SkinPen Micro-Needling?
Using precisely-spaced micro-needles in a small, sterile cartridge, the SkinPen is an automated pen-like device that is moved slowly over treatment areas. The micro-needles create vertical microchannels in the skin that are invisible to the naked eye and penetrate the epidermis as well as the top layer of the dermis. This process, known as Collagen Induction Therapy, stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and increases the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of your skin, to renew, strengthen and improve the skin’s flexibility.

Dr. Saini will walk you through the SkinPen micro-needling process and how to best prepare for the treatment and recovery.
How to Prepare
Dr. Saini will recommend that you do not apply any creams or products to your face before the appointment.
Leading up to your appointment, Dr. Saini will instruct you to stop smoking or taking medications such as antihistamines. Smoking and antihistamines can interfere with your body’s healing response and complicate treatment. On the day of your treatment, your face will need to be clean and we suggest you wear clothes that will not apply pressure to your face when being removed.
SkinPen Micro-Needling Treatment
A SkinPen treatment typically lasts twenty to thirty minutes, after which you can return to your regular activities.
When you arrive for your treatment, your skin will be cleaned and a topical numbing agent will be applied. Once the numbing agent has taken effect and you are comfortable, Dr. Saini will begin the treatment. A pen-like device with fine needles will be gently applied to the predetermined area. This action will be repeated until all of the treatment areas are addressed.
Dr. Saini will give you instructions on how to care for your skin and what is expected of you to ensure your best results.
Post Treatment Care & Results
When you leave your appointment, your skin will be red and may feel similar to a sunburn. You will be given specific instructions on what products will be safe to use on your skin. Dr. Saini may provide or recommend a certain moisturizer that speeds your skin’s recovery. Your skin will be sensitive and exposure to sunlight will need to be avoided to ensure you heal properly and quickly. Intense activity will need to be avoided for the first seventy-two hours as sweating and increased blood flow can further irritate the skin.Any redness should have diminished after forty-eight hours and a light layer of makeup can be applied after twenty-four hours to help reduce the appearance of redness.This treatment will decrease the visibility of scarring, wrinkles and will lift your skin. Your skin will begin to firm and fill out in the weeks following treatment. Typically, three to four treatments are needed to provide a patient’s best results. Dr. Saini will work with you to determine how many treatments you will need to achieve your best outcome. Your results will be long-lasting and will greatly improve your skin quality.
Complementary Procedures
Carolina Plastic Surgery offers many minimally-invasive treatments that can be paired with a SkinPen procedure. These treatments are not commonly performed at the same time as micro-needling but can be performed at a later time to enhance the effects of the SkinPen process. Dermal Fillers are one such treatment that is quickly administered and provide natural improvements. Dr. Saini is well-experienced in applying dermal fillers such as:Juvederm
Juvederm is a group of hyaluronic acid-based fillers that were developed to treat different areas of the face. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are popular today because of their ability to engage naturally with the skin. Hyaluronic acid is found in the connective tissue and skin of our bodies. It contributes to the skin’s firm structure and improves hydration. When injected into the skin, Juvederm’s natural substances will interact organically and the body will metabolize Juvederm over time. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can last up to two years and provide beautiful, smooth results.Juvederm Vollure

Radiesse is an FDA-approved formula that is commonly used to reduce moderate to severe lines around the nose and mouth. This filler will not only add volume to sunken areas of the skin but it will also improve your skin’s quality.
