HE REJUVAPEN NXT®
If you are looking for a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restores the youthful appearance of your face, microneedling can provide you with the results you are looking for. At DREAM LASHES & SKIN , we are proud to offer some of the best microneedling results Washington has to offer.
FRACTIONAL COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY- ALSO CALLED MICRONEEDLING
The Rejuvapen is a remarkable, non-laser, non-surgical treatment that causes skin to stimulate collagen production and fresh, new tissue. Skin tightens; wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, and hyperpigmentation significantly diminish; pores become finer, and the overall health and circulation of the skin is improved.
While the technology has been around for a while, the RejuvaPen has developed a remarkable method of improving the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks as well as fine lines and wrinkles. By creating tiny channels, or micro-injuries on your skin, the RejuvaPen’s micro-needling process stimulates your skin to repair itself, creating new collagen without any scar formation.
HOW DOES REJUVAPEN WORK?
Rejuvapen utilizes precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the top layers of the skin. As a result, the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal. Adjustable needle length allows customized treatments from skin freshening to deep scar repair anywhere on the body. Skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become firmer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.
After the initial treatment, patients often notice that their skin has a healthy pink glow and that fine lines are diminished. Skin naturally takes roughly four weeks to synthesize new collagen, but it is not until about four months that patients can see the full effect of Rejuvapen treatments. It is suggested that patients receive four treatments, spaced at least two weeks apart.
The Treatment: The Rejuvapen treatment is a micro-needling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen in the skin. Since micro-needling enhances the production of collagen the treatment can reverse the signs of sun damage, improve the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks and hyper-pigmentation. Fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced and an overall healthier appearance of the skin will occur.
Areas to Treat: Medical Microneedling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs and face.)
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME?
Typically the healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of the procedure. Most commonly there may be some redness that resembles mild sunburn. This may last for 2-4 days. Some patients may have the redness dissipate within 24 hours. The skin will be pink or red in appearance for 24-48 hours, much like a sunburn with some minor bleeding and very occasionally some mild bruising. The skin may also feel warm, tight, and itchy for a short while. Generally, the inflammatory reaction of the skin is short and fades significantly after a couple of days. Patients with a more sensitive skin type or older patients may take longer to fully recover.
AFTERCARE TREATMENT
Use tepid water to cleanse the face for the first 48 hours following treatment and drying the area gently without rubbing. Always use clean hands to avoid infection. Avoid applying makeup products for the first 12 hours following treatment. Your aesthetician will advise you on use of appropriate, gentle skincare following the treatment.
It can take between 6-8 weeks before visible signs of skin regeneration are seen and the process will continue to evolve over the ensuing months providing a gradual improvement.

WHEN WILL YOU SEE RESULTS?
Patients may notice healthier-looking skin right away. However, keep in mind that dermal collagen remodeling occurs over time and it would not be realistic to expect damage that has happened to the skin over a long period of time to disappear right away. We suggest a series of 4-6 sessions depending on what the treatment is for. Individuals may not see final results until 3-6 months following the last appointment.

IS MICRONEEDLING THE RIGHT OPTION FOR YOU?
There are many ways to improve the look and feel of your skin. One of the options available to you is microneedling. This procedure is very safe when done by a trained professional. It is also one of the best ways to help encourage new production of collagen in your skin. If you feel like your skin is no longer as plump and youthful looking, this may be a procedure that is right for your needs. We encourage you to give us a call at Dream Lashes and Skin in Puyallup, WA to book an appointment to learn more about this procedure and whether it is right for your needs.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM MICRONEDLING?
When you book microneedling at DLS, our team will give you a full outline of what you can expect from this treatment. Generally speaking, this dermaroller procedure works to apply very small needle pricks to the skin. In doing so, it helps to stimulate the body’s natural immune system and the skin cells themselves to begin producing collagen. You may know that collagen is something that is present in most of the skin. Over time, the cells stop producing as much of it, though, which creates dull, loose, and sagging skin. With this procedure, then, we are working to improve that.
HOW IS MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT GOING TO HELP?
With the use of the micro needling treatment, we are able to encourage new skin cell production and more collage production. The goal is to create smoother, more toned skin. You may also notice improvements to large pores and wrinkles. Some people also see scars begin to fade. The procedure works for many people, though more than one treatment may be required to create this type of result.
IS THIS THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR ME?
Microneedling treatment is very safe when done by a professional. It is minimally invasive and does not have any required downtime. You will find that you will only experience a bit of irritation and a small prick of the skin when this procedure is performed. An appointment does not take long, and the results will begin to be seen over a few days or weeks.
