What is SkinPen® Microneedling Treatment?
SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates precise micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process encourages the skin to repair itself naturally, improving overall texture and tone without the use of heat or added energy.
As a versatile and gentle treatment option, SkinPen® is often selected for individuals seeking gradual skin refinement and collagen support. At Ritual in Washington, DC, this treatment is incorporated into personalized plans for both corrective treatments and ongoing skin maintenance.
