SkinPen Microneedling
Stimulate natural collagen production to improve texture, tone, fine lines, and acne scars.
SkinPen® Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates controlled microchannels in the skin, supporting the body’s natural healing response and collagen-production process.
Treatment can help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin tone. Each session is customized to your skin concerns and goals for smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.

Fine Lines
Soften the appearance of fine lines and support smoother-looking skin.

What to Expect

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SkinPen Microneedling, recovery, and what to expect from treatment.
How does SkinPen Microneedling work?
SkinPen creates thousands of tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. This stimulates your body's natural healing response and encourages new collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
What can microneedling improve?
SkinPen is commonly used to improve fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and overall skin quality. It can also help create a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed complexion.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours after treatment. Mild dryness, tightness, or flaking may occur as your skin heals. Most normal activities can be resumed the following day.
Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize comfort. Most patients describe the procedure as very tolerable, with only mild pressure or a light scratching sensation.
