What Is SkinPen?
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared procedure designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. SkinPen treatments utilize a microneedling device with tiny needles that penetrate the skin at a controlled depth. These needles create micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s ability to heal and produce new elastin and

This process helps to improve skin texture, restore elasticity, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure can also help to even out skin tone and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Your SkinPen Microneedling Treatment
Before your SkinPen microneedling treatment, one of our experienced providers will evaluate your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. A numbing cream may be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort.
During the procedure, the handheld SkinPen microneedling device is moved over the skin, creating micro-injuries. The depth of the needles can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns. After the treatment, a calming serum and sunscreen will be applied to the skin to promote healing and protect it from further damage.
SkinPen Microneedling Recovery
After your SkinPen microneedling treatment, your skin may be red and sensitive for a few days. You may experience mild swelling, and the skin may feel tight and dry. These side effects are normal and should subside within a few days.
It is essential to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen during the healing process. You should also avoid harsh skin care products for at least 24-72 hours after the treatment. While makeup should be avoided during this time, tinted sunscreen and/or moisturizer can be used.
