Micropen procedures are one of the latest advancements in minimally invasive skin rejuvenation. They are rapidly growing in popularity as they restore and renew the skin naturally, with little to no downtime.
Dr. Stephen Weber, a double board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Denver, CO, performs customized Micropen procedures to help patients reach their aesthetic goals. During the Micropen procedure, the device creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin. The skin’s repair processes promote collagen and elastin formation and a thicker and healthier layer of skin gradually forms. Patients can expect results such as:
Dr. Stephen Weber did a great job! Dr. Weber is a great surgeon and has great bedside manners. I would do it again if needed. Thanks, Dr. Weber!
Patients can return home shortly after their procedure. Skin redness after the treatment is to be expected. Minor discomfort, swelling and flaking may also occur. These side effects can be easily controlled by using ice and following Dr. Weber’s post-procedure instructions closely. Patients usually return to work and normal activities the next day. Makeup may be used to cover up any redness. As micro-injuries heal, collagen and elastin are naturally produced, causing skin to shrink and tighten.
Dr. Weber uses a patient-focused approach to deliver natural results. During initial DermaPen consultations, patients receive our undivided attention. The first part of the consultation includes a review of the patient’s medical history and a physical examination.
The second part involves an in-depth discussion regarding the patient’s aesthetic goals and the creation of a customized treatment plan. Patients who choose to undergo procedures have their procedures scheduled at a time that is most convenient for them.
Dr. Weber always provides his patients access to before and after photos for microneedling in Denver. This helps you to be aware of what is and isn’t possible with regard to your results. You can also bring in photos of your ideal complexion, so Dr. Weber can get a better impression of your cosmetic goals.
If there are other non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures that are of interest to you, Dr. Weber can discuss these at your consultation as well. These may include Ultherapy, laser skin resurfacing and treatment with dermal fillers and BOTOX.
A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin before a Micropen procedure. Ice is applied after the procedure to reduce swelling and inflammation that may cause pain once the topical anesthetic wears off. These precautionary measures drastically reduce the chance of discomfort during the procedure.
There are risks associated with all cosmetic procedures. The risks specific to Micropen treatments are explained to patients during their initial consultation. Because Dr. Weber takes great measures to reduce risks, the overwhelming majority of patients find the benefits of the procedure far outweigh the risks. Micropen treatments are minimally invasive and overall very safe.
A Micropen is a handheld micro-needling device that is easier to control than other similar devices. The motorized system creates precise micro-injuries that do not hurt the patient. The needle tip can be precisely adjusted to create micro-injuries at various skin depths to treat visible signs of aging and scars according to their severity. Micropen is the ultimate micro-needling device for customized patient care.
The number of treatments needed depends on the size of the area(s) being treated and the severity of visible signs of aging and/or scars. In general, patients usually receive 3-5 treatments spaced out over 4-week intervals. Dr. Weber lets patients know how many treatments they will need during initial consultations. Because results are carefully monitored throughout recovery, Dr. Weber is able to give patients very accurate treatment quantity estimations as their treatment progresses.
Patients who follow Dr. Weber’s post-procedure instructions should see maximum results. An important part of recovery is protecting the treatment area from the sun. Patients are advised to wear sunscreen when they go outside. Tanning should be avoided until Dr. Weber clears patients to do so. Exercise and physical activity should be avoided for only 24 hours.
Dr. Weber has helped countless patients improve the appearance of acne scars using Micropen procedures. Patients with acne scars are encouraged to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Weber to receive a customized treatment plan.
Micropen procedures can lighten the appearance of stretch marks and reduce their visibility. Procedures are customized to meet the needs of patients. Interested patients are encouraged to contact Weber Plastic Surgery and arrange an initial Micropen consultation specifically for stretch marks.
Micropen procedures are used to improve the appearance of visible signs of aging and/or scars. They are not used to change the size and/or shape of facial features. During initial consultations, Dr. Weber gathers information and works with patients to create treatment plans that give them the results they want.
Patients who are interested in having a Micropen procedure prior to their wedding are encouraged to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Weber as soon as they know their wedding date. This will allow Dr. Weber to create a treatment plan that delivers maximum results before the wedding day.
