What is the SkinPen® microneedling procedure?

SkinPen microneedling is the first and only microneedling device that the FDA has cleared. In a clinical study, SkinPen is recommended by 90% of patients.

The technology creates microscopic holes and microchannels in your skin with fine needles. These tiny wounds trigger your skin’s healing process, increasing collagen production, blood flow, new tissue, and elastin proteins. 

Because of the needle’s small size, your provider can target hard-to-reach sections near your lips, nose, and eyes. 

Unlike skin resurfacing or chemical peels, SkinPen doesn’t rely on chemicals or heat, reducing side effects and downtime. 

What does SkinPen microneedling treat? 

SkinPen microneedling can treat aging concerns and any other unwanted skin issues no matter how old you are. On your face or body, it can tackle:

• Facial line lines and wrinkles 
• Neck wrinkles 
• Smoothing of skin tone and texture 
• Improving skin elasticity 
• Large pores
• Age and sun spots 
• Stretchmarks
• Acne and injury scars 

SkinPen is safe for most skin colors and types. If you have skin cancer, open wounds, sores, irritated skin, or an allergy to anesthetic or stainless steel, communicate with your provider before planning a microneedling treatment. 

It’s typical for you to see targeted results in as little as three sessions, along with overall skin firmness and radiance. 

What happens during a SkinPen microneedling procedure? 

During the procedure, your provider cleanses your skin and applies topical anesthesia to numb it. They apply lift hydrogel to your face, which allows for the SkinPen to glide easily. You shouldn’t experience any pain. 

Afterward, you can go about your daily activities. You may experience inflammation or redness, but it should subside within 72 hours. 

How often do I need a SkinPen microneedling treatment?

Generally, your provider will suggest three to six SkinPen treatments to achieve your desired results. Luckily, the procedure produces collagen naturally in your skin, which means it will continue to regenerate over time. 

Your provider encourages wearing sunscreen and healthy lifestyle habits to preserve the treatment’s results.
