AUSTIN’S CHOICE FOR RÉJUVAPEN™ TREATMENT

WE OFFER ADVANCED MICRO-NEEDLING TREATMENT TO THE AUSTIN AREA

WHAT IS RÉJUVAPEN™?

The modern, ergonomic design of the revolutionary Réjuvapen™ offers a convenient and effective solution for deep skin damage, without the worry of excessive scarring or discomfort during treatment. Réjuvapen™ is the first of its kind – a powerful, yet gentle micro-needling device. What sets Réjuvapen™ apart from the rest?

Precision

Réjuvapen™’s infinite dial allows treatment to be administered at various incremental depths, ranging from 0.2mm – 2.5mm. While this feature allows for exceptional effectiveness, precision and ease, it also makes for a shorter overall treatment time.

Modernization

Réjuvapen™’s  bevelled needle cartridge is one-of-a-kind among micro-needling devices in the skincare industry. This unique feature prevents clogging and promotes optimal integration of topical skincare products during the procedure, also eliminating the need for suction. The gauge needles on the device are conical-shaped promoting minimal patient discomfort during micro-needling.

Convenience

The innovative design of the Réjuvapen™ is key to the many benefits it offers. The device has a wider grip than other micro-needling devices, incorporating ergonomics for a more balanced weight while the practitioner is holding and operating the device. While this design aspect may seem minor, it provides major relief against over-gripping and fatigue, making it ideal for long procedures.

Intensity

Every application of the Réjuvapen™ is different according to client needs, and the four-setting adjustable dial offers an option for everyone. The device features a powerful 11000RPM-torque motor for both thickly scarred and delicate skin types.

WHAT IS THE RÉJUVAPEN™ PROCEDURE LIKE?

The Réjuvapen™ device comprises nine micro-needles to quickly and repeatedly impact the damaged skin at the treatment site, promoting self-healing following treatment in that area. In addition to generally improved circulation and stimulation of skin cells, the treatment also offers:

• Improvement of pigmentation
• Improvement of texture
• Pore minimization
• Tighter and firmer skin
• Increased effectiveness of skincare products following treatment

The micro-needling process helps to promote healthy cell growth by safely creating small, intentional perforations to damaged skin. The micro-needles are designed to pierce the skin in a precise formation that does not cause tears or other wounds. Studies have shows this procedure to be effective as a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment for a variety of skin conditions.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER THE RÉJUVAPEN™ PROCEDURE?

Once you’re ready to undergo Réjuvapen™ treatment, you are only a few quick steps away from a brighter, firmer complexion. Here is what to expect from Dr. Bittar and the medical spa team at Beau Visage during your Réjuvapen™ experience:

• Your skin will be cleansed and a topical solution will be partially applied to the treatment area for your comfort.
• The Réjuvapen™ will be applied to the treatment area.
• Your skin will be cleaned gently after treatment to promote proper healing.

While your skin may look and feel mildly irritated (similar to a sunburn) immediately after treatment, the redness should diminish within two hours. Skin should be healed almost completely in 24 hours or less. Most clients reach maximum results six to eight weeks post-treatment. Results may continue to improve with additional treatments.

Microneedling Skin Rejuvenation/Collagen Induction Therapy

Skinceuticals & Obagi Products Available

As we age, our bodies stop being able to repair and maintain themselves. In the skin, this can be seen from the surface as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and overall poor or dull texture. This is caused by our internal skin structures (collagen and elastin) degrading over time.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Microneedling treatments work best for patients with:

• Those who aren’t currently experiencing active acne. One or two blemishes are okay, but active acne lesions cannot be treated due to the risk of bacteria spread and infection formation
• Superficial skin pigmentation caused by aging, medication, sun damage, or trauma
• Fine, etched-in lines and wrinkles
• Mild to moderate acne scarring or acne pit scarring
• Large pores and uneven texture
• Loose, thin skin or under-eye bags
• Those wanting to take anti-aging preventive measures

DO I NEED TO PREPARE FOR A MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?

Yes!

Vitamin A topicals, such as retinol, retinal, tretinoin, or any other corrective topical products that are for lightening, brightening, or acne needs to be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior. As well as any medications such as Accutane, Spironolactone, Antibiotics, or vitamins that can cause “photo-sensitivity”. Consult your prescribing physician before suddenly stopping any prescription medication.

Some patients of dark skin tones may be advised to start a regimen of hydroquinone before treatment to prevent the formation of hyper-pigmentation or trauma-related pigmented scarring – A prescription is needed.

Cannot be pregnant due to the body’s healing process taking away much-needed energy and vitamins that the fetus needs to develop.

Be sure to be hydrated and in your baseline of good health. In remission. Consult your primary care physician before having treatment done if health concerns are a factor.

WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE? DOES IT HURT?

To start your treatment, your aesthetician will apply numbing cream to your skin. Numbing takes about 20-25 minutes. Next, your aesthetician will prep your skin by cleansing and sanitizing it. Then, your treatment will begin with the handheld device that is wrapped in a sanitized barrier film to prevent any contamination throughout the process. Medical Grade Hyaluronic Acid and B Vitamins will be infused into your skin throughout the treatment. Most patients are comfortable and describe minimal, tolerable discomfort if any at all. The treatment itself lasts about 20-30 minutes, depending on the aggression and depth of treatment.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT POST-TREATMENT?

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE, the skin will be tight, inflamed, beet red, and possibly stinging and throbbing. Possible superficial bruising can occur around the eye area as well. This can last up to 24-72 hours depending on the strength of the treatment given.

Starting the day of the procedure and 48 hours after, AVOID strenuous exercise, excessively steamy showers and/or saunas, and steam rooms. Excessive facial heating may cause prolonged side effects and adverse reactions, such as swelling or post-inflammatory pigmentation, or infection.

24 HOURS AFTER THE PROCEDURE, the skin will be tight, have a rough texture, be red/darker than usual, and possibly start to flake. Flaking will generally begin between 24-48 hours after the procedure and can last 2-7 days. For the first 48 hours, H.A. serum and moisturizer may be applied twice a day. Once flaking begins, apply H.A. serum and moisturizer more frequently to alleviate any discomfort.

WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS? HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?

Most patients have a peak point after 4 weeks of treatment where their skin is soft and glowing. A series of treatments may be done every 4-6 weeks until desired results are achieved. Results are cumulative, and optimal results are seen after a series of 3 or more.
