Understanding the Science Behind SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen® microneedling is an advanced treatment that rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin through controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process, backed by science, promotes the skin’s natural healing response, improving texture and tone, and reducing scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Medical microneedling dates back to the early 1900s for scar reduction and hyperpigmentation treatment. SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, creates 1,600 micro-channels per second, triggering collagenesis and angiogenesis. This gold standard treatment is particularly effective for acne scars, with studies showing greater improvement when combined with neuromodulators and growth factors. Suitable for all skin types, SkinPen® offers a safe and comprehensive rejuvenation solution, exemplifying how modern science and technology achieve radiant, healthier-looking skin.

Our Process

Upon arrival for your SkinPen® microneedling session, you'll review your completed questionnaire and consent forms. Photos are taken to document progress and refine future treatments. Once images are captured, your skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied. While it takes effect, the solution ingredients are mixed and the device is prepared. This is an ideal time to discuss any additional skin concerns or treatments.

After 20 minutes, the numbing cream is removed with micellar water and a gel cleanse. The microneedling session then begins, lasting about 20 minutes. Throughout the treatment, serums tailored to your specific concerns are applied. The procedure is designed to be painless, with only light pressure felt as the SkinPen® moves across the skin. Post-treatment, your skin will be red, indicating improved blood flow, with some areas possibly experiencing punctate bleeding. A moisturizing solution is then applied to protect and heal the skin.

Pre & Post Treatment Care

In the weeks leading up to the treatment, avoid chemical peels, sun exposure, tanning products. Refrain from using Retin-A®, Renova, and Tazorac for a week prior. Ensure the area to be treated is clean and free of lotions, makeup, or sunscreen. If you have a history of cold sores, an antiviral therapy is recommended.

Immediately after treatment, avoid applying any products for 6-8 hours. Redness and swelling are common and should resolve in 1-2 days. Eight hours post-treatment, begin using a hyaluronic acid serum as recommended. Continue this routine for days 1-6, adding SPF in the morning. Avoid picking or irritating your skin, and steer clear of heat, saunas, and exercise. After Day 7, resume your regular skincare routine once peeling subsides.
