Microneedling (SkinPen) is a non-invasive treatment that creates tiny micro-channels in the skin using fine needles. This process stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer skin with improved texture and tone, effectively addressing acne scars, wrinkles, and other textural issues.

Microneedling is effective for a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Acne scars and surgical scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Enlarged pores

• Stretch marks

• Pigmentation issues such as melasma or sun spots

For optimal results, most clients require 3-6 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the severity of your skin concerns and your individual skin response.

Discomfort is generally minimal, as a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Most clients report feeling only a mild vibration during the treatment, making it a well-tolerated option for all skin types.

Downtime is minimal. You might experience mild redness or swelling immediately following the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 24-48 hours, allowing you to resume normal activities quickly.

A typical microneedling session with SkinPen takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the area treated and the complexity of your skin concerns.

Yes, Microneedling with SkinPen is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI). It is suitable for both women and men looking to improve their skin’s texture and appearance without the use of chemicals or heat, which can sometimes lead to skin damage in darker skin tones.

During the session, you may feel a mild vibration from the device. Post-treatment, your skin might appear slightly pink to red, and you may experience mild tightness or dryness. These conditions generally resolve within a few days, and you will notice gradual improvement in your skin’s appearance over the following weeks as new collagen forms.

Yes, microneedling can be combined with treatments like chemical peels, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or LED light therapy to enhance the overall results. Our team will recommend the best combination based on your specific skin needs and goals.

Microneedling is not recommended for individuals with active acne, open wounds, or infections in the treatment area. It’s also contraindicated for those who are pregnant or nursing, or have a history of bleeding disorders, and those currently using isotretinoin (Accutane). It’s best to consult with a medical professional to determine if microneedling is the right option for you.
