Microneedling by SkinPen®

SkinPen® Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and overall radiance. By creating controlled micro-injuries, this treatment encourages collagen and elastin production, helping your skin look smoother, firmer, and more youthful.

What to Expect

SkinPen® Microneedling is a safe, effective way to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. Each treatment is tailored to your skin type and concerns to deliver optimal results.


  1. Consultation & Assessment

    Your provider will review your skin history, concerns, and aesthetic goals. A thorough assessment ensures the treatment is customized to your specific needs.


  2. Treatment

    The SkinPen® device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a healing response. Topical numbing will be applied for comfort, and the treatment is carefully monitored for safety and effectiveness.


  3. Immediate Aftercare

    You may experience mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding, which typically resolves within a few days. Your provider will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize results.


  4. Follow-Up

    Multiple treatments are often recommended to achieve the best outcomes. Your provider will guide you on timing and frequency based on your skin’s response.
