Mount Nittany Physician Group Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery is proud introduce its newest treatment option to help you look and feel your best: microneedling by SkinPen®. SkinPen is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared, microneedling technology device designed to improve the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and scars on the face and body.

How does it work?

By causing controlled micro-injuries to the treatment area, the device stimulates your body’s natural healing process:

  • Inflammation: Your immune system is triggered to disinfect the micro-injuries, remove debris, increase blood flow and create new tissue.
  • Proliferation: Next, new granulation cells rebuild within the micro-injuries and a new network of blood vessels develops.
  • Remodeling: The micro-injuries heal and are replace with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

Performed in our office, SkinPen requires no surgery, no down time and provides incredible results.
