About
SkinPen Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. The SkinPen® microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.</p><p></p>

testimonials
How long does it take to recover from a SkinPen Microneedling Treatment?
The total healing time depends on each individual. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness (like a mild to moderate sunburn) for two to four days following the treatment. Some people may see their skin return to normal in about 24 hours.
Are SkinPen Microneedling Treatments painful?
Clinicians apply a topical numbing agent prior to beginning the procedure, depending on the type of procedure that has been tailored to an individual’s skin. Most patients say their experience was virtually painless. There is minimal post-procedure reddening of the skin, which dissipates, so there is no downtime required.
Can you see results after one SkinPen Microneedling Treatment?
One of the many advantages associated with this treatment is that patients usually see some signs of improvement within a week, with more dramatic results developing over the next three or four weeks.
How often should I get a SkinPen Microneedling Treatment?
As a general rule of thumb, micro-needling treatment can be safely done about once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks.
