ABOUT SKINSTYLUS™

Treating Acne and Surgical Scars in Albany & Glens Falls, NY

SkinStylus™ delivers advanced rejuvenation for clients seeking visible improvements in skin texture and appearance. Our experienced medspa providers at The Artistry of Face in Albany and Glens Falls utilize SkinStylus™ SteriLock® MicroSystem to help you achieve smoother, more refined skin with minimal downtime.

How Does SkinStylus™ Work?

SkinStylus™ is a handheld microneedling “stylus” that creates precise microinjuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural wound healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in visible skin improvements. The SkinStylus™ SteriLock® MicroSystem stands out as the only microneedling device with FDA clearance for use on both the face and abdomen, featuring a patented Seven-Step Safety System that prevents cross-contamination.

AREAS OF TREATMENT

  • Facial acne scars (Fitzpatrick skin types I, II, and III)
  • Surgical scars on the abdomen
  • Traumatic hypertrophic scars on the abdomen
  • Overall skin texture improvements

SkinStylus™ vs. Morpheus8

Both SkinStylus™ and Morpheus8 represent excellent options for skin therapy at our medspa, though they work through different mechanisms. SkinStylus™ uses traditional microneedling to create controlled microinjuries that stimulate natural collagen production, making it ideal for treating scars.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel deeper skin layers and address concerns like skin laxity and texture. Our medspa providers can determine which treatment best aligns with your specific aesthetic goals during your consultation.

Good Candidates for SkinStylus™

Ideal candidates for SkinStylus™ are adults aged 22 or older who want to improve the appearance of facial acne scarring or abdominal surgical or injury scars. They have realistic expectations and can commit to following pre- and post-treatment guidelines for best outcomes.

The Procedure

Before your SkinStylus™ procedure begins, our medspa providers will thoroughly cleanse the treatment area(s) and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Next, the SkinStylus™ device is gradually moved across the skin, creating microchannels at the appropriate depth for your specific concerns. The device features three cartridge configurations, allowing us to precisely customize your treatment.

The Recovery Process

Following your SkinStylus™ procedure, you can expect some redness and mild sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically resolve within a few days. During your recovery, keep the treated area clean and moisturized as directed by your provider, and avoid direct sun exposure.

Most clients return to their everyday activities within one to two days, making this a convenient option for busy schedules. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily once cleared by your provider, and avoid harsh skincare products during the initial recovery period. Multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended to achieve your desired results.

SkinStylus™ FAQs

How is SkinStylus™ different from at-home dermarolling?

K
L
SkinStylus™ uses medical-grade equipment that penetrates much deeper (up to 2.5mm) than at-home devices, delivering superior results. The device also features advanced safety systems and sterile, single-use cartridges that minimize infection risk compared to reusable home rollers.

How long do SkinStylus™ results last?

K
L
Results from SkinStylus™ can last for several years, since the treatment stimulates your body's own collagen production rather than adding temporary fillers. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and sun protection can help extend your results over time.
