What is SkinPen Microneedling?

Collagen Induction Therapy

SkinPen® microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment used to improve the appearance of acne scars and certain skin texture concerns when clinically appropriate. The device creates controlled microchannels in the skin to support the body’s natural healing response and collagen remodeling.

SkinPen® is FDA-cleared for the treatment of facial acne scars in adults and may also be considered for other skin concerns based on provider evaluation.

Microneedling help restore smoother, healthier-looking skin. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.

Consultation

Prior to treatment, a licensed healthcare professional will conduct a medical evaluation, review your health history, and discuss your aesthetic goals. Not all individuals are candidates for microneedling.

During Treatment
  • Topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort

  • The SkinPen device is passed evenly across the treatment area

  • Mild redness similar to a sunburn is common immediately after

After Treatment
  • Redness typically subsides within 24–72 hours

  • Mild swelling or skin sensitivity may occur

  • Makeup is generally avoided for 24 hours

  • A customized post-treatment skincare plan will be provided

how the treatment works:

During the procedure, the SkinPen device creates thousands of precise microchannels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries:

  1. Trigger the inflammatory phase (natural healing response)

  2. Stimulate fibroblast activity

  3. Promote new collagen and elastin formation

Over time, this remodeling process improves skin structure and appearance.

Most treatment sessions take approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Most patients require a series of 3 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart for optimal results. Individual results vary.

PRP therapy is generally considered low risk when performed by a qualified medical professional. However, potential side effects include:
