What Is Microneedling with SkinPen?
The SkinPen treatment works in three simple steps, designed to activate the skin’s natural healing process. Following each session, the skin begins to heal itself, looking more renewed and rejuvenated over time. SkinPen is only used in professional settings and delivers dramatic results without the use of heat or chemicals.
Inflammation
SkinPen’s microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, triggering a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new tissue.
Proliferation
The micro-channels or tiny holes created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Remodeling
New dermal tissues form, rich in collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin quality, visibly reducing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, leaving skin more smooth, radiant, and younger-looking.

What to Expect At Treatment
1. Your provider gently cleanses your skin.
2. If you opt for it, a topical anesthesia is applied to minimize discomfort.
3. Lift hydrogel is applied to your treatment areas, to help SkinPen glide smoothly across your skin.
4. SkinPen creates millions of controlled microchannels to target natural collagen and promote your body’s natural healing process.
5. After your treatment you may notice some redness or inflammation, which is totally normal and should subside within 24 hours to 72 hours.
Your treatment areas can be renewed and rejuvenated in as FEW as three sessions spaced 30 days apart. Your provider will determine your personal treatment schedule based on your unique needs. But most patients see improvement in their skin in the first month after their first treatment! In clinical trials, skin has been shown to improve for up to six months after a SkinPen treatment.
