SkinPen and Lutronic Infini
Microneedling Technologies: SkinPen and Lutronic Infini
SkinPen and Lutronic Infini represent state-of-the-art microneedling technologies designed to rejuvenate skin and address various cosmetic concerns. SkinPen, a Health Canada-approved microneedling device, creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin at a rate of 1600 per second, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to boost collagen and elastin production.
Lutronic Infini combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering precise thermal energy into the dermis through insulated gold-coated microneedles. Both treatments offer minimal downtime and are suitable for all skin types, effectively improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation.
