ADVANCED MICRONEEDLING IN CINCINNATI WITH SKINPEN® PRECISION ELITE

The Philosophy True skin transformation isn't about masking; it’s about awakening your skin’s innate ability to repair and refine itself. At Tork Plastic Surgery, we utilize the SkinPen® Precision Elite—the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device—to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and aesthetic luxury.

Under the direction of double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shahryar Tork, our microneedling ritual is designed to remodel the skin from within. By creating thousands of controlled micro-channels, we trigger a natural surge of collagen and elastin, effectively refining the "canvas" of your face and body.

The Precision of SkinPen® Elite

While traditional facials work on the surface, the SkinPen® Precision Elite works at the structural level. This elevated approach to medical microneedling is the gold standard for those seeking a top-rated skin rejuvenation treatment in Cincinnati to diminish the markers of time and life.

What It Refines:

  • Surgical & Acne Scars: As a specialized Cincinnati plastic surgery practice, we focus on remodeling scar tissue. SkinPen® for acne scars breaks down fibrous collagen and replaces it with smooth, new tissue.

  • Textural Irregularities: Softens the appearance of enlarged pores and rough "orange peel" texture.

  • Structural Aging: Effectively treats fine lines and wrinkles while firming skin laxity.

  • Tone & Clarity: Fades the appearance of sun damage and hyperpigmentation for a more uniform complexion.

The Experience

THE CONSULT Whether you are seeking to improve the appearance of surgical scars or achieve an editorial glow, your journey begins with a curated assessment. We analyze your skin’s thickness and history to determine the precise depth required for your aesthetic goals.

THE PROCESS Your treatment is performed in our sophisticated Cincinnati, Ohio studio. After the application of a medical-grade numbing cream, the SkinPen® Elite glides across the skin. The process is efficient—typically 30 minutes—and is meticulously designed to be as comfortable as it is effective.

THE RECOVERY Often called a "lunchtime" transformation, microneedling with SkinPen® requires minimal downtime. You may experience a flush similar to a mild sunburn for 24 hours. By the next day, you can typically return to your routine, with your skin already beginning its deep-level remodeling.

The Targeted Areas

The versatility of the SkinPen® Elite allows us to provide full-body skin rejuvenation anywhere the skin seeks renewal:

  • The Face & Neck: For a lifted, smoother appearance.

  • The Décolleté: To reverse vertical sun-creasing and chest wrinkles.

  • Body Scars: Clinical microneedling for surgical incisions, stretch marks, or post-surgical scarring.

  • The Hands: To restore a youthful, plumped texture and fade age spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For a general glow and "pre-juvenation," a single session is beautiful. However, for the correction of surgical scars or deep acne pitting, we recommend a curated series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart at our Cincinnati med spa.

  • Yes. Because the SkinPen® Precision Elite is heat-free and mechanically-driven, it is an ideal choice for every skin tone, from very light to very dark.

  • Paramedical tattooing (scar camouflage) uses pigment to "color in" a scar to match your skin tone. While effective for color, it does not change the texture of the scar. SkinPen® Microneedling actually remodels the scar tissue, flattening raised areas and softening the texture, essentially "erasing" the scar from the inside out rather than just hiding it.

  • No. This is a common misconception. Lasers use light and heat energy to damage skin cells to trigger repair. The SkinPen® Precision Elite is a mechanical device. Because it does not use heat, it carries zero risk of heat-induced hyperpigmentation, making it the safest option for patients with darker skin tones or those prone to melasma.

  • Home rollers use a drum-like design that enters and leaves the skin at an angle, creating "V-shaped" tears in the tissue. This can lead to scarring and infection. The SkinPen® Precision Elite uses vertical, medical-grade needles that enter and exit the skin straight up and down, creating clean micro-channels without any "tearing" of the skin.
