SkinPen® Microneedling
We proudly offer the only FDA-approved microneedling device on the market, SkinPen®. This non-laser treatment creates microscopic channels in the skin with a single-use tip with tiny stainless-steel needles. The needles are punched into the skin, creating a controlled “injury,” which in turn starts the cascade of the healing process in our skin to promote collagen production. It is safe for all skin types because it does not use heat or light.
This procedure is primarily meant to improve the skin’s texture and is a great option for fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring. Although it does not target pigment, patients may notice an improvement in overall skin tone simply due to healthier skin after their treatment.
We will almost always recommend a series of 3 treatments for best results spaced 4-6 weeks apart, but will be able to better assess your individual concerns after we meet with you in person. Patients will be numbed with a topical numbing cream before treatment, making it quite comfortable. The procedure for a full face will take about an hour. Other popular areas to treat include the neck and chest.
Patients will be pink or red after treatment and look similar to a sunburn. It will feel tight, dry, and warm, similar to a mild windburn. You may also notice some flakiness for a few days after the treatment.
Patients will be advised not to wear makeup, exercise, or go directly in the sun for the first 24 hours. We also advise waiting a week before using active topicals like retinol or acne products. After 24 hours, patients can resume their normal routine, including wearing makeup. This brief cosmetic downtime is another reason this treatment has been so popular with patients.
