What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive collagen induction treatment. It uses SkinPen, an FDA-cleared handheld device, to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response. Collagen then builds in deeper layers, which supports elasticity and firmness. SkinPen uses no lasers or chemicals, so it carries fewer risks than more aggressive treatments.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Uneven pigmentation
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Stretch marks
The micro-channels also help topical serums and creams absorb better. Our team adjusts needle depth for each area and concern. For an added boost, ask about PRP microneedling or exosome microneedling. Learn more about our scar reduction and stretch mark reduction options.
What to Expect: Procedure, Recovery and Results
First, we cleanse your skin and apply numbing cream. Your provider then moves a sterile, disposable needle cartridge across each treatment area. Downtime is minimal compared with laser resurfacing. Temporary redness and mild swelling usually subside within 24 to 48 hours.
Most patients need 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Visible improvements in texture often appear within weeks after each session. Afterward, avoid sun exposure, use gentle skincare products and apply sunscreen every day.
Who Is a Good Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is a good fit if you want smoother skin, softer scars or fewer fine lines without surgery or lasers. It suits many skin types. If you also want skin tightening, compare RF microneedling. Your provider will review your skin and health history before treatment.
