SkinPen® Microneedling
FDA-Cleared Innovation for Skin Rejuvenation.
What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a precision device to create micro-channels in the skin. These tiny openings trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to reduce fine lines, smooth acne scars, fade hyperpigmentation, and enhance overall skin texture and tone.
Type of Treament
SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared medical microneedling device that uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges to create precise micro-channels in the skin. This minimally invasive procedure falls under the category of collagen induction therapy.
Results Timeline
Initial improvements appear within days as skin begins healing, with continued enhancement over 4-6 weeks as new collagen forms. Optimal results develop after a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with benefits lasting 6-12 months.
Am I a Good Candidate for SkinPen® Microneedling?
Most adults seeking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or address acne scars are excellent candidates. This treatment works beautifully for all skin types and tones, though those with active acne, certain skin conditions, or recent cosmetic procedures may need to wait.

How SkinPen® Microneedling Works
The science behind SkinPen® lies in controlled injury and natural repair. As the device’s sterile needles create thousands of micro-channels in your skin, your body immediately begins its healing cascade. This process releases growth factors and cytokines that attract cells responsible for creating new collagen, elastin, and healthy tissue. The result is skin that’s not just temporarily plumped, but actually renewed from within—stronger, smoother, and more resilient than before.
The Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling
FDA-Cleared Confidence
As the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen® is supported by extensive clinical research with over 90 validation studies confirming its safety and efficacy.
Clinically Proven Collagen Boost
Studies show SkinPen® stimulates up to 400% more collagen and elastin compared to untreated skin, improving skin firmness, texture, and overall quality for months.
Fast, Convenient Treatments
Each session takes just 30 minutes. Combined with minimal downtime—typically 24–48 hours of mild redness—it’s a treatment that fits effortlessly into even the busiest schedules.
Precise, Adjustable Treatments
From delicate areas around the eyes to deeper acne scars, SkinPen®’s adjustable depths are tailored to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring precise, personalized results.
Enhanced Skincare Absorption
Microneedling creates temporary micro-channels that boost skincare product absorption by up to 1000%, helping your serums and treatments work harder and more effectively.
Natural, Long-Lasting Results
By stimulating your own collagen rather than introducing foreign substances, the results look authentic—because they are.

What Should I Expect?
Before
Your consultation begins with a thorough skin assessment to create your personalized SkinPen® treatment plan. We’ll discuss your specific concerns and goals, then provide pre-treatment guidelines, including avoiding sun exposure and certain skincare ingredients for optimal healing. Arrive with clean skin, ready for your transformative experience.
During
After applying a topical numbing cream for comfort, we’ll gently glide the SkinPen® device across your skin in systematic passes. You’ll feel a light vibrating sensation as the precision needles create controlled micro-channels. The entire treatment takes 30 minutes, during which many patients find the process surprisingly comfortable and relaxing.
After
Expect mild redness similar to a sunburn that typically subsides within 24-48 hours. We’ll apply soothing serums and provide specific aftercare instructions, including gentle cleansing and sun protection. Most patients return to normal activities the next day while their skin begins its natural collagen-building process beneath the surface.
Questions? We have answers!
Does SkinPen® microneedling hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching. We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How many treatments will I need?
While some improvement appears after one session, we typically recommend 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your personalized plan depends on your specific skin concerns and goals.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin’s barrier to begin healing. After this period, mineral makeup is preferred for the first few days.
When will I see results?
Your skin begins healing immediately, with initial improvements visible within a few days. Continued enhancement develops over 4-6 weeks as new collagen forms, with peak results after completing your treatment series.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal with most clients experiencing only mild redness for 1-2 days. You can return to work and normal activities the next day while avoiding intense exercise for 24-48 hours.
How does SkinPen® compare to at-home derma rollers?
SkinPen® uses medical-grade sterile cartridges with precise needle depth and professional technique, delivering superior results safely. At-home devices lack the precision and sterility needed for effective treatment.
