44 yr old, fair skin, smoker, sun damage, crows feet, frown lines On Oct 27, 2016 I had my first SkinPen treatment at Juenesse Medical Spa / The Samra Group. I have been on a quest to find more natural anti-aging alternatives and since this procedure was highly recommended by Dr. Asaad Samra I decided to give it a try. I’ve had only pleasant experiences with Dr. Samra so I knew I could trust his advice and I am REALLY glad I did. The idea behind the SkinPen is the microneedling causes trauma under the skin and during the healing process the skin produces collagen to heal itself – makes sense, right? Numbing cream makes it completely tolerable and I experienced very little discomfort. The length of the needle is adjustable so the more you can tolerate the deeper they can go. The actual procedure takes about 20 minutes. I was VERY red after but it calmed down before bedtime. My friend saw my results and had it done 2 weeks later but due to her more olive complexion she was not as red. Anyway, the next day I was fine. It was suggested I not wear makeup the next day but suprisingly enough I didn’t need it – I noticed an instant glow and by the third day my skin was actually radiant and I mean radiant!! Now six weeks have gone by and I don’t see a need to do my annual filler injections…..so for those of you who are reluctant to do filler – this is for you. I am scheduled for #2 in January and I cant wait to see the results after that because I already see a significant difference in my frown and eye wrinkles and I am not sure if this is related but my breakouts are less since. My friend (mentioned above) has had 2 sesssions and now she sees very reduced fine lines. The bonus of the Skinpen is they are able to go much closer to your eyes (where filler and botox may not be injected) so for those of you who are developing crows feet and under the eye wrinkles and sagging – this is for you too. In closing I’d like to reiterate this procedure does what it claims to do (google SkinPen for all the details) and I HIGHLY recommend it. I have done eMatrix (more downtime) and various lasers (more painful) and did not get results like this. Since my results were so astonishing after session #1 I opted to buy a package at Jeunesse Med Spa and I love the flexibility of being able to use it at either of their two locations (Holmdel and Old Bridge). A big thank you to Dr. Samra and his kind and courteous staff. Juenesse Medical Spa provides a relaxing spa like environment with medical grade quality services and everyone is very professional – and p.s. - they are always on time! Second review to follow after my next session ?
