SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING
If you’re looking for smoother texture, refined pores, acne-scar improvement, and an overall glow, SkinPen® Microneedling is one of our favorite go-to treatments. It’s safe for all skin tones and helps your skin rebuild from the inside out.
What is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® Microneedling is a professional treatment that uses a medical-grade device to create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production—two key building blocks for firm, healthy, youthful-looking skin.
Think of it as a reset for skin texture and tone: we create a controlled signal that encourages your skin to repair and refresh.
What concerns does it help with?
SkinPen® Microneedling can improve the look of:
Acne scars and pore size
Fine lines and crepey texture
Mild laxity (skin that feels less firm)
Uneven tone and dullness
Sun damage and rough texture
What can I expect?
During your visit
We cleanse your skin, apply a topical numbing cream for comfort, then perform the SkinPen microneedling treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure with a “scratchy” feeling.
After your treatment
Redness and a warm, tight feeling are normal, similar to a mild sunburn. Some peeling may occur. The redness typically improves within 24–72 hours, depending on your skin and treatment intensity.
Results
Many clients notice a glow within the first week, but the most meaningful changes build gradually as collagen develops over time in about 3-6 months.
How many sessions will I need?
Your plan depends on your goals, but a common approach is:
Texture + glow: 3 sessions
Acne scarring or deeper lines: 4–6 sessions
Maintenance: every 3–6 months
We’ll tailor your schedule to your skin, your timeline, and the results you want.
SkinPen® Microneedling Add-Ons (Boost Your Results)
Add-ons are optional enhancements you can pair with your SkinPen® Microneedling session to better target your goals and support your skin’s recovery.
Exosomes
Best for: advanced rejuvenation, improved texture, enhanced glow
Exosomes are used as a post-treatment booster to support the skin’s renewal process to heal even faster and absorb the peptides on a deeper level. They’re a great option if you want to maximize overall results – especially for visible texture concerns and a brighter, healthier-looking finish.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Best for: collagen support, acne scarring, fine lines, overall skin quality
PRP uses components from your own blood (processed in-office) and is applied with microneedling to help support healing and collagen stimulation. Clients often choose PRP when focusing on deeper rejuvenation and scar improvement.
Hydrating + Calming Mask
Best for: dryness, sensitivity, post-treatment comfort
A hydrating calming mask is the perfect finishing step if your skin tends to feel tight or warm after microneedling. It helps soothe the skin and supports a more comfortable recovery.
Neck/Chest Add-On
Best for: crepey texture, sun damage, and uneven tone on the neck and décolleté
Want results beyond the face? Adding the neck and chest helps improve the look of skin texture and overall smoothness in areas that commonly show early signs of aging or tech-neck.
Who is a good candidate?
SkinPen® Microneedling is a great option for many skin types and tones, especially if you want visible improvement in texture and scarring with less downtime.
You may need to postpone treatment if you have active irritation, certain active breakouts, or cold sores in the area. If you are on accutane or any antibiotics and if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, please ask us about appropriate options.
