MICRONEEDLING

Revitalize your skin naturally with our advanced microneedling treatments using SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and overall texture.

​

What to Expect:

SkinPen creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin, which triggers collagen and elastin production—key elements in maintaining youthful, smooth skin. Treatments are safe, effective, and suitable for all skin types, with little to no downtime.

​

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling:

• Reduces the appearance of acne scars and fine lines

• Improves skin tone and texture

FAQs

• What areas can be treated with SkinPen?

  • SkinPen is most commonly used on the face, neck, and décolleté, but can also treat other areas of the body with scarring or uneven texture.

• How many treatments will I need?

  • Most patients see noticeable results after just one treatment, but a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results—especially when treating acne scars or deeper lines.

• Is there any downtime after a microneedling session?

  • Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, tightness, or mild swelling for 24–72 hours post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients resume normal activities within a day or two.

• Does microneedling hurt?

  • A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light prickling or vibration.

• When will I see results?

  • You may notice an initial glow within a few days, but true results develop over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. Full results continue to improve for up to 3–6 months after your final treatment.

• Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

  • Yes! Microneedling pairs well with treatments like chemical peels and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for enhanced results. 

• Is SkinPen safe for all skin types?

  • Yes! SkinPen is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types and tones.
