MicroNeedling & Hydra Pen
Stimulate the production of collagen & elastinMicroNeedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a small device with fine needles to create tiny puncture wounds in the skin. The objective of MicroNeedling is to promote collagen production and skin tissue repair by inducing a controlled injury response from the body.
During a MicroNeedling procedure, a skincare professional will use a device with fine needles that are rolled over the skin. These needles pierce the surface of the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. As the skin repairs itself, collagen production increases, resulting in improved skin texture and firmness.
MicroNeedling can be effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. It can also be used to improve overall skin texture and tone.
MicroNeedling is generally considered safe for most people and can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, and hands. The good news is this treatment is effective and has minimum side effects including a mild redness, minor swelling, and bruising, which should resolve within a few days following the procedure.
One of the MicroNeedling systems used at the Pink Opal Aesthetics Salon is the Hydra Pen, also known as the AquaGold system, which is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a special MicroNeedling device to deliver a customized cocktail of skin care products to the skin. The CC device is a handheld device that features a series of microscopic gold-plated needles that are thinner than a human hair.
During a Hydra Pen treatment, a skincare professional will load the device with a customized solution of vitamins, antioxidants, and other beneficial ingredients, which are then delivered to the skin through MicroNeedling. The device features a small chamber between the needle and the skin surface, which infuses the products into the skin at an even depth.
Hydra Pen treatments can be customized to the individual, targeting specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.

MicroNeedling Benefits…
MicroNeedling including the HydraPen has several benefits for the skin. According to Healthline, it can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. MicroNeedling can also help to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can help to keep the skin looking youthful and firm.
In addition, MicroNeedling may be a less expensive alternative to other cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments. It is generally safe for all skin types and can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Furthermore, MicroNeedling can help to enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin and work more effectively. Microneedling may also help to reduce the appearance of pores, improve skin tone and texture, and promote an overall rejuvenation of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is used at Pink Opal Aesthetics, as it is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to maintain skin hydration and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid is often used in skincare products such as serums, moisturizers, and injectable fillers to help hydrate and plump the skin. When used in conjunction with MicroNeedling, hyaluronic acid serums can provide added benefits to the skin.
It’s important to note that the benefits of MicroNeedling may vary depending on the individual’s skin concerns and goals. It’s recommended to consult with one of Pink Opal’s licensed and experienced skincare pros to determine if MicroNeedling is right for you and to discuss all your skincare options at one time.
