Micro-Needling with Dermapen 4
Micro-needling is a very safe and effective alternative to injectables and invasive lasers. The results are long term and the recovery time is minimal. This cost effective, non-invasive, non-injectable skin rejuvenation treatment targets a diverse range of skin concerns.
Dermapen 4 is the latest and most advanced micro-needling technology available. It’s turbo speed allows for more precise, superior and comfortable treatments. It is the only micro-needling device with a dedicated scar setting to help optimize the results achieved in treating acne scars.
Enhance your treatment results with the MG Collection serums. The addition of an MG Collection serum elevates the results achieved and promotes advanced skin regeneration and healing. There are options for all skin needs and concerns including pigmentation, melasma, rosacea, acne, scarring, wrinkles and more.
SKN Clinic is home to Vancouver’s micro skin needling experts
SKN was the first clinic in Vancouver to offer micro-needling over a decade ago, and one of the first clinics in Canada. It was a natural fit for SKN Holistic Rejuvenation Clinic since it utilized no chemicals – purely just our natural wound healing and booster serums. In 2022 we made the choice to upgrade to the Dermapen 4 because of its high quality mechanics and superior treatment results.
On February 1, 2021 we launched our Empower Your SKN Loyalty Program which means you will earn points for every dollar spent at SKN Clinic and SKN Shop and move up into our Tier System (Gold, Platinum, Diamond). Once you have spent $500 (starting Feb 1, 2021) you will achieve GOLD Status and start receiving even more benefits and one of them is admission into the GOLD Micro-Needling Program. This program is of course available to Platinum and Diamond Status as well.
*We do not provide in-house numbing.

FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin diminishes, which leads to wrinkles and sagging skin. Wrinkling in the skin is also caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors. Micro needling promotes a process of new skin growth through the science of Collagen Induction Therapy

SKIN REJUVENATION
The Dermapen 4 Micro-needling treatments provide an overall rejuvenation of the skin promoting healthier and more youthful looking skin. The needling process improves micro-circulation in conjunction with collagen and elastin formation beneath the skin to thicken the dermis, reducing wrinkles. You will notice improved skin texture, more even skin tone and an overall brightness to your skin.
Recommended Add Ons:
MG-35+& MG-R.A.S
ACNE SCARS
The Dermapen 4 Micro needling can improve the appearance of atrophic acne scars and surgical scars. The micro needles work to naturally stimulate new collagen production in the area of the scar. An added bonus is that you are not only decreasing the appearance of scars, but are addressing and delaying the signs of aging simultaneously.

MINIMIZE PORE SIZE
The Dermapen 4 Micro-needling treatments will result in a more refined appearance of the pores. The Micro-Needling treatments stimulate collagen and elastin which results in firming of the skin thereby reducing the appearance of large pores.

What our Clients say
“My technician made me feel very comfortable with my first service of microneedling. I was bit nervous initially but she helped put my nerves at ease and did a fantastic job! It was actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I’m really looking forward to seeing results from these treatments!”
– Jennie G.
“I have always had the most AMAZING experience at SKN. I was recommended to go to SKN by a friend and have since referred many people to them.
I have a facial scar that Amanda treated with acupuncture and Dermapen, the results have been excellent. I’ve also had a medi-facial with Melissa, also an excellent result. I am intending to go back for hair removal with BBL, which comes highly recommended.”
– Andrea S.
