SkinPen Microneedling
Designed to work without chemicals, heat, or stress — SkinPen uses fine needles to create micro-openings in the skin naturally remodel the skin by triggering its own collagen and elastin production. It helps improve fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall skin firmness, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin over time
The Process
SkinPen works in three simple steps:
1
Inflammation
SkinPen’s microneedles pierce the skin, increasing blood flow. Immune cells work to clean and disinfect the area, setting the stage for repair. This stage helps prepare the skin to rebuild with fresh, healthy cells.
2
Proliferation
The micro-wounds created by SkinPen multiply new skin cells to replace the damaged ones, while collagen and elastin fibers start to form. This stage builds a fresh foundation of skin tissue, giving it renewed strength and elasticity.
3
Remodeling
This final stage supports the skin’s natural regeneration process, revealing skin that looks healthier and rejuvenated.
What You Can Expect
Before treatment
The provider will remove any makeup and gently cleanse the skin. Topical anesthesia will be administered to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
During treatment
Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the provider will gently pass SkinPen over the treatment area. As the tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, patients typically feel light pressure and a mild buzzing sensation, with minimal discomfort. The treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes.
After treatment
Most patients notice slight redness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. Additional common treatment responses include dryness, tightness, and peeling. This is normal and should subside within 24-72 hours. Makeup and sunscreen can be applied 24 hours after treatment.
Some people notice rejuvenated skin after their first SkinPen treatment; however, optimal long-term results are best seen after four or more treatments. Ongoing skin improvements will continue for three to six months following the last treatment.

Consistent treatments help remodel skin, supporting visible improvements in the appearance of acne scars and neck wrinkles over time.
