Microneedling can regenerate the skin by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin.

A Microneedling procedure causes tiny, controlled injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The wounds heal themselves, replacing the old skin with younger, tighter skin and temporary collagen and elastin. Microneedling procedures can be less harsh than chemical peels or laser procedures. There is a short recovery time and hyperpigmentation is not a concern.

The SkinPen Precision system is the only Class II, FDA cleared microneedling device legally marketing in the U.S. Many clinicians find it to be extremely versatile as it is wireless, lightweight, easy to use, even on small spaces such as around the nose.

SkinPen’s needles can be adjusted to varying depths, allowing for treatment plans for each patient’s personal needs and aesthetic goals and making SkinPen® so beneficial for helping to improve the appearance of shallow fine lines and conditions such as acne scars. SkinPen® is more effective because it’s stainless steel medical grade needles work vertically, automatically delivering consistent micro-injuries as set by the clinician. Needle cartridges are single-use sterile and disposable, for added safety and economy.

Microneedling is used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues.

Benefits of microneedling with SkinPen include:

  • Minimally invasive
  • Quick procedure at 20-30 minutes
  • Safe for all skin types
  • Improve fine lines and wrinkles
  • Helps clear up acne scaring
  • Younger looking skin
  • Less intense than chemical peels or lasers
  • Healing continues after the procedure is over

Another benefit of SkinPen® microneedling system is the after-care that continues after the patient leaves the office. After treatmnent, Skinfuse® post-procedure skin care regimen continues healing the skin. The new skin continues to produce collagen, which is tighter, smoother, and younger looking than the replaced skin.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
