Urgo Aesthetics

Retix.C, a brand of the French URGO Group, is a pioneer in advanced skincare and medical-grade microneedling solutions for aesthetic clinics and doctor-led practices. Renowned for evidence-based retinol treatments, combining potent retinoids with stabilised Vitamin C and growth factors, and its flagship R.Pen device, Retix.C stimulates the skin's natural regenerative processes both in the clinic and at home. The R.Pen's precision‐engineered microneedles, adjustable depths, interchangeable cartridges, and integrated LED phototherapy enhance collagen induction, accelerate healing and address wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and overall skin quality with minimal downtime.

Research & Development: Behind the R.Pen Microneedling Technology

R.Pen’s wireless, cordless design reflects Retix.C’s commitment to clinician-friendly innovation. Developed through extensive study of collagen induction therapy and photobiomodulation, the device creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural repair cascade, boosting firmness and elasticity while preserving healthy tissue. By pairing microneedling with six selectable LED wavelengths (e.g., red for collagen stimulation, blue for acne-prone skin, green for pigmentation), R.Pen delivers “active second skin” technology that enhances rejuvenation and calms inflammation in a single treatment.

Key Features & Innovations

Adjustable Needle Depths & Speeds: Clinicians can fine-tune penetration (0.2–2.0 mm) and choose from five-speed settings for bespoke treatments.
Interchangeable Cartridges:
Nano-Needle Tip: Ideal for sensitive or superficial treatments (e.g., serums, light resurfacing)
12-pin Needle Tips: Used for deeper collagen induction—effective on wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and acne lesions.
“Flower Needle” Configuration: Gently massages as it punctures, reducing discomfort without sacrificing efficacy.
LED BioLights Integration: Six built-in LED colours (red, blue, green, yellow, purple, turquoise) target specific skin concerns—accelerating repair, reducing bacteria, and improving tone.

Unlike more aggressive procedures, this technique rejuvenates skin while preserving healthy tissue, resulting in faster recovery and minimal downtime for clients. R.Pen leverages these scientific principles and enhances them with targeted LED light wavelengths, providing cutting-edge “active second skin” technology for superior clinical outcomes.

Clinical Efficacy & Benefits

R.Pen is intended exclusively for professional use and has been validated in multiple clinical trials. Treatments with R.Pen:

Stimulate Collagen & Elastin: Promoting smoother, firmer skin texture and reducing fine lines and deep wrinkles.
Improve Scars & Stretch Marks: Encouraging natural remodelling of damaged tissue.
Address Pigmentation & Tone: Combining mechanical needling with photobiomodulation to normalise melanocyte activity and reduce redness.
Enhance Overall Skin Quality: Clients often notice a “new skin” glow as cellular turnover accelerates.

Because practitioners can precisely control needle depth and LED wavelength, patient comfort is maximised and downtime is minimised, typically limited to mild, transient redness. Topical anaesthesia is usually sufficient, allowing most clients to return to daily activities quickly.
