What Is SkinPen Microneedling and How Does It Work?
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses thousands of ultra-fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These channels:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Minimize fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and dullness
This process also makes your skin more receptive to skin care products and active ingredients—delivering results from the inside out.
SkinPen Microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, and is ideal for anyone seeking a natural, non-surgical way to revitalize their skin.
The Procedure Process
Your journey begins with a consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan.
At your appointment:
Your provider applies a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort
The SkinPen is gently moved across the skin, creating thousands of microchannel
A post-treatment soothing serum is applied to calm and hydrate
You’ll be given specific aftercare instructions and recommended skincare products to support healing.
Treatment time: 45–75 minutes depending on area size.
Results and Recovery
After microneedling:
- You may experience tightness, redness, and sensitivity for 24–48 hours
- Most people resume normal activities the next day
- Full results appear gradually over 3–4 weeks as collagen production increases
A series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
Combining Treatments for Even Greater Results
SkinPen Microneedling is powerful alone—but even better when paired with:
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) – boosts healing and targets dark spots and wrinkles
- PDRN (Salmon DNA) – enhances skin repair and regeneration
- Exosomes – cell-to-cell messengers packed with growth factors
Ask your provider which combination is right for your skin goals.
Risks and Considerations
Microneedling is low-risk, but possible side effects include:
- Mild bleeding or bruising
- Infection if aftercare is not followed
- Dryness, irritation, or flaking
- Hyperpigmentation or scarring (rare)
- Temporary acne purge as skin detoxifies
All risks will be reviewed during your consultation to ensure safe treatment.
