Book AppointmentCollagen Induction, Natural Results
SkinPen microneedling is a medical-grade collagen induction treatment that uses a device with a cluster of fine sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. Those tiny injuries are intentional: they trigger the skin's wound-healing response, which floods the treated area with growth factors and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Over time, as that fresh collagen matures and organizes, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone and texture. The procedure typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, involves minimal downtime, and is safe for virtually all skin types and tones. SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, which speaks to its established safety profile.
What SkinPen Microneedling Can Improve
Microneedling is particularly effective for people dealing with acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and general skin texture concerns. It's also useful for improving the tone and firmness of skin that has started to look dull or fatigued. Because the treatment works by stimulating the skin's own repair process rather than removing or ablating tissue, the results develop gradually over several weeks and look completely natural. Most people complete a series of three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart, though some see meaningful improvement after even one treatment. Mild redness and slight swelling in the 24 to 48 hours following the procedure is typical, and the skin settles quickly after that.

Treatment Benefits
Reduces Acne Scars
Collagen remodeling stimulated by the micro-channels breaks down old scar tissue and replaces it with new, organized collagen, gradually softening the appearance of acne scars.
Improves Fine Lines & Texture
New collagen and elastin production firms the skin and smooths out uneven surface texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and giving skin a more youthful feel.
Fades Hyperpigmentation
By promoting rapid cell turnover, microneedling helps fade age spots, sun damage, melasma, and uneven skin tone over the course of a treatment series.
Safe for All Skin Types
SkinPen is FDA-cleared and designed to be safe and effective across all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive treatment option for a wide range of patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
For mild concerns like general texture improvement, two to three sessions may be enough. Deeper acne scarring or more significant pigmentation issues typically benefit from a series of four to six treatments spaced about four weeks apart.
What is the downtime?
Most people experience redness and mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. The skin typically settles and begins to look noticeably smoother within a few days.
Can microneedling be done on the body?
Yes. SkinPen can be used on the neck, chest, arms, and other areas where stretch marks, scarring, or texture concerns are present. It's not limited to facial use.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it pairs well with treatments like PRP, topical growth factors, and certain serums that can be applied immediately after the session to take advantage of the enhanced absorption that the micro-channels provide.
