A SkinPen microneedle is a device used in microneedling treatments to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote collagen production. It works by creating tiny, controlled punctures in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This procedure is often used for skin rejuvenation, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The SkinPen is FDA-approved and considered safe for most skin types.
The proof is in the pen! SkinPen microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries encourage the body’s natural healing response, producing collagen and elastin, essential proteins contributing to a smoother, firmer, and even-toned complexion. This FDA-cleared device helps to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out and can be tailored to treat various skin concerns and address specific areas on the face and body.
SkinPen has been clinically tested and proven to be a safe and effective treatment that produces radiant results. The entire treatment typically takes 30 minutes, but the time may vary depending on your skin concerns. This treatment requires little to no downtime and is designed to work without chemicals, heat, or stress. The SkinPen can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, + more!
The skin on your neck is different from the skin on your face. This delicate area has far less fatty tissue and collagen, making it prone to showing signs of aging. SkinPen can help improve the appearance of neck wrinkles, resulting in firmer, radiant, younger-looking skin.

SkinPen microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. It’s suitable for most skin types, though those with active acne, eczema, or certain skin conditions may need to consult with a professional before treatment.
You may notice smoother, more radiant skin immediately after the first session. Significant improvements, such as reduced acne scars or fine lines, typically become visible 4–6 weeks after treatment as the skin continues to regenerate collagen and elastin.
Results from SkinPen microneedling can last several months to a year, depending on the individual and the specific concerns treated. Regular treatments (typically 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart) may be recommended to maintain long-lasting results.
SkinPen microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24–48 hours. Some individuals may also experience slight dryness or peeling as the skin heals, which should subside within a few days.
Before the treatment, avoid sun exposure, using harsh skincare products like retinoids, or waxing for at least 48 hours. After the procedure, hydrate your skin with gentle moisturizers, avoid makeup for 24 hours, and use sunscreen to protect your freshly treated skin from UV damage.
During the session, a trained professional will use the SkinPen device, which contains fine needles, to create tiny micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration. The procedure is minimally painful, and numbing cream is typically applied beforehand. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
