Microneedling

REJUVENATE YOUR SKIN

A multipurpose treatment that uses your skin’s natural healing abilities to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

About Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multipurpose treatment takes advantage of the body’s natural healing process to treat a variety of skin conditions. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.

How it Works

Microneedling uses a handheld device that uses extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. This damage to the skin helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, which includes the increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health.

What to Expect

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment. During a microneedling treatment session, your provider will gently glide the SkinPen® microneedling device over the skin multiple times. Immediately after treatment, your skin may be red and swollen a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the procedure, but you should stay out of the sun until your skin heals. 

  • Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and can be customized to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. However, certain skin conditions or sensitivities may affect treatment eligibility. A consultation is recommended to determine if microneedling is the best option for your goals.

  • The SkinPen treatment works in three simple steps to activate the skin’s natural healing process. During the inflammation phase, microneedles create tiny channels in the skin, triggering a natural response that increases blood flow and stimulates new tissue growth. In the proliferation phase, these channels are rebuilt with collagen-rich cells and new blood vessels. Finally, during remodeling, new collagen- and elastin-rich tissue forms, improving skin quality and reducing the appearance of acne scars and wrinkles for smoother, more radiant-looking skin.

  • What are the side effects and when will I see results?

    Common side effects of SkinPen® microneedling include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort that usually resolve within a few days. Results typically become noticeable within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen production increases.

  • The number of microneedling treatments required will depend on the individual's skin concerns and the desired level of improvement. Most patients will benefit from a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the benefits of microneedling over time.
