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.
If you are seeking non-laser skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, SkinPen microneedling may be an appropriate option following medical evaluation.

During the procedure, the SkinPen device creates thousands of precise microchannels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries:
Trigger the inflammatory phase (natural healing response)
Stimulate fibroblast activity
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.
