SkinPen Microneedling is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses small needles that prick the skin, helping to promote the natural healing functions within the body. These micro-injuries to the skin can boost collagen production, resulting in skin that is firmer, smoother, and more radiant.

  • Minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
  • Reducing the appearance of scars
  • Shrinking large pores
  • Decreasing the appearance of sunspots and pigmented skin
  • Improving the brightness of the skin

While microneedling can be an effective standalone treatment, it can also be paired with other cosmetic services to optimize overall results. Most appointments take between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the full range of services that are offered. Before the microneedling begins, a topical numbing gel can be placed on the skin to reduce pain or discomfort.

Professional Microneedling vs. At-Home Rollers

While at-home rollers can be purchased that market similar benefits, there are noticeable differences in the benefits that are achieved through professional services. These at-home rollers have shorter needles, which means that only the surface of the skin is treated.

On the other hand, SkinPen Microneedling can reach the deeper layers of skin to promote collagen and healing at all levels. Even when you choose professional treatments, not all microneedling technology will deliver the quality results you desire. This device is unlike any other on the market; it is the only FDA-approved microneedling device that is clinically proven to treat acne scars and surgical scars.
