REJUVAPEN By Joshua Zuckerman, MD, FACS in New York City
The Rejuvapen is a cutting edge microneedling device used for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Zuckerman can set different puncture depths and different speeds depending on which type of skin issues he needs to target.
Rejuvapen is a microneedling device that Dr. Zuckerman employs to treat wrinkles, fine lines, scars, acne scars, stretch marks, texture, pore size, pigmentation irregularities, and skin elasticity. The device’s fine needles create microscopic punctures in the skin to trigger the production of collagen. Treatment with the Rejuvapen can also be combined with the platelet rich plasma (PRP), where a specific component of the patient’s own blood in rubbed onto the face between successive rounds of treatment.
Important Aspects of Treatment
Rejuvapen Treatment Longevity
Results last three to six months, and treatments should be performed regularly as part of an antiaging maintenance routine.
Rejuvapen Recovery (Downtime)
This treatment has little downtime. Patients may see some pinkness, redness or irritation, but this should resolve within 24-48 hours. Patients typically return to work the following day with no downtime and wear makeup.
Rejuvapen Pretreatment Guidelines
Avoid using skin irritants on the treatment area several days before and after treatment. This includes retinoids and exfoliating products. Dr. Zuckerman and the staff at Zuckerman Plastic Surgery can recommend post-treatment care to replace such products in your daily skincare regimen. Dr. Zuckerman also recommends that you avoid using any creams or applying makeup day of on the area to be treated, even though that area will be thoroughly cleaned prior to treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rejuvapen
Are there any possible complications from microneedling?
Similar to any injectable or medical procedure, microneedling has possible risks, though they are relatively minor. These may include bruising, infection, scarring or pigmentation issues. Generally, these complications are rare, especially when performed in the medical environment of a doctor’s office. However, some patients may be better suited for laser skin resurfacing.
Can I buy my own microneedling product for at-home use?
There are some microneedling products for retail use that allow you to perform the procedure at home, but the needles used in the Rejuvapen for professional use are generally longer than those in retail procedures and puncture deeper in the skin’s surface. These deeper punctures increase the effectiveness and rejuvenative capabilities of the procedure beyond what is possible with a retail appartus.
