SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-openings in the skin, supporting your skin’s natural remodeling process. SkinPen is designed to improve the appearance of facial acne scars and wrinkles on the neck while helping reveal smoother, renewed-looking skin.
Benefits
- Safe and effective for all skin tones and types.
- Naturally remodels the skin without heat or chemicals.
- Minimally invasive with little to no downtime.
- Improves the appearance of facial acne scars.
- Improves the appearance of wrinkles on the neck.
Frequency of Treatment
- A series of multiple SkinPen treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart may be recommended for best results.
- Some patients notice renewed-looking skin after their first treatment, while optimal long-term results may be seen after four or more treatments.
- Skin improvements can continue for three to six months following the final treatment.
How SkinPen Works:
- Prep: Your provider will cleanse the treatment area, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
- Microneedling: Your provider gently passes the SkinPen device over the treatment area, creating thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin.
- Natural Remodeling: These micro-openings activate the skin’s natural repair process, supporting the formation of new skin tissue, collagen, and elastin.
- Renewal: As the skin remodels over time, its appearance continues to improve, revealing smoother, renewed-looking skin.
OPTIONAL PRP ADD-ON
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma) microneedling combines tiny needle pricks with your own blood plasma to boost collagen, smooth acne scars, and improve skin texture.

FAQ’s
What is the downtime? Can I go back to work after my treatment?
SkinPen requires little to no downtime for most patients. Redness similar to a mild sunburn is common after treatment, along with possible dryness, tightness, or peeling. These effects generally subside within 24–72 hours. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice renewed-looking skin after their first treatment. Results continue to develop as the skin remodels, and optimal long-term results may require a series of treatments. Skin improvements may continue for three to six months after the final treatment.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. During treatment, patients typically describe light pressure and a mild buzzing sensation.
Are there any other side effects I should know about?
Temporary redness similar to a mild sunburn is common after treatment. Dryness, tightness, and peeling may also occur and typically subside within 24–72 hours.
When can I wear makeup again?
Makeup may be applied 24 hours after treatment.
I’m pregnant or breastfeeding. Can I get microneedling?
We recommend receiving clearance from your OBGYN prior to treatment if pregnant or breastfeeding.
