SkinPen Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture and appearance. The treatment rejuvenates your skin by creating thousands of controlled micro-channels, which encourage collagen formation and generate new, healthy skin cells.

Using tiny, adjustable needles, the treatment makes precise punctures in the upper layer of your skin. This sounds more dramatic than it is — the needles only penetrate the very surface, and numbing cream ensures your comfort throughout.

This controlled ‘micro-trauma’ encourages your skin to repair itself by producing fresh collagen and elastin, generating new skin cells. The result is thicker, plumper, more youthful-looking skin.

The treatment typically involves three or more sessions spaced four weeks apart. Microneedling is minimally invasive with no recovery time needed, though you’ll want to follow the aftercare guidance provided.

Skin renewal concerns:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull, lackluster skin that needs revitalization
• Enlarged pores that affect skin texture
• Uneven pigmentation and skin tone

Scarring and texture issues:

• Acne scarring and post-breakout marks
• Surgical scars and other textural irregularities
• Rough or uneven skin surface

Body applications:

• Hand rejuvenation for age spots and texture
• Neck and décolletage renewal
• Areas needing comprehensive skin improvement

Microneedling is particularly effective because it addresses multiple concerns through one comprehensive treatment approach.

Microneedling offers comprehensive skin improvement that goes well beyond what topical products can achieve. The treatment helps your skin heal and renew itself by shedding dead, dry surface skin while promoting healthy new cell growth.

The treatment supports your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining youthful, firm, healthy-looking skin. Unlike temporary fixes, these improvements develop over time and create lasting change.

You’ll notice smoother texture, refined pores, reduced scarring, and that healthy glow that comes from genuinely improved skin function rather than just surface treatments.

You’ll notice initial improvements within the first few weeks following your treatment session. With completion of your prescribed treatment program, this improvement process continues over the following months.

The most significant skin texture improvements typically become visible after 6-8 weeks when new collagen formation is well-established. This timeline reflects the genuine skin renewal happening at the cellular level.

Mild swelling, peeling, and occasional bruising are the most common side effects. These are generally well-tolerated and temporary, settling within a few days.

Your skin may appear red for the first 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. You might also experience very mild peeling and some tightness or dryness as your skin begins its renewal process.
