SkinPen Microneedling

Most patients require a series of 3–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The exact number depends on your skin concerns, with deeper acne scars or more advanced texture concerns often requiring additional sessions.

You may notice an initial glow within the first week. More visible improvements typically begin around 3–4 weeks as collagen production increases, with continued improvement over 8–12 weeks and beyond.

Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience redness, mild swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for 24–72 hours. Skin may feel dry or tight as it heals, with most people returning to normal activities within a day.

SkinPen is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most patients describe the sensation as light pressure with a mild buzzing feeling rather than pain.

A typical appointment takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and whether numbing time is included.

Results can last 6–12 months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain collagen production and prolong results.

Treatments are typically spaced every 4–6 weeks during your initial series. After that, maintenance sessions every few months help maintain results.

SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality over time.

SkinPen is safe for all skin types and tones and is ideal for patients looking to improve acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture with a minimally invasive treatment.
