Over the last few years, SkinPen Microneedling has risen in popularity for its revolutionary advancements in natural collagen and elastin production without the heat or chemicals. It’s been changing the way patients interact with their skin, giving confidence to those who struggled with significant skin concerns.
If you’ve ever been interested in seeing what SkinPen Microneedling can do for you, let’s take a deep dive into all the benefits.
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
Microneedling can be best described as a non-invasive treatment that creates “micro-injuries” in the skin. While this may sound scary, those microscopic punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, which then stimulates collagen and elastin production. This process is best known as collagen induction therapy.
This increased production of collagen and elastin within the skin often results in improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, minimal acne scars, and more.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
Microneedling can be used for a wide range of skin concerns, and when done in a series, can have amazing results. Here are some of its key benefits:
Acne Scarring
Highly effective in reducing noticeable scarring caused by years of acne, surgery, or burns. By breaking down old scar tissue, new, healthy skin cell growth is encouraged.
Skin Texture & Tone

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

What Can I Pair with SkinPen Microneedling?
One of the great things about this treatment is its ability to play nice with others. This means pairing other treatments within the session can significantly improve results, downtime, and more. You can pair this treatment with:
- PRP or PRF for maximizing regenerative effects
- PDRN (salmon sperm) for a speedy recovery and minimal downtime
- Exosomes for a supercharged collagen production
What Can I Expect for My Appointment?
As with most treatments, you’ll have the option to get the area of concern numbed prior to starting. This helps ease the light pressure and subtle buzzing sensation most patients report feeling.
The actual treatment itself can range from 25-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. With the added time of prep and numbing, you can expect the full appointment time to be from 40-60 minutes.
After your Microneedling session, you can expect to feel some warmth and tightness in your skin, and see mild redness (similar to a minor sunburn) and visible pinkness for 24-48 hours.
When Can I See Results?
A key aspect of Microneedling is getting the treatment done in a series. While one session can help improve collagen stimulation, a series of 3-6 sessions can truly revolutionize your skin. These are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Overall skin health and appearance can continue to show improvement up to 6 months after your final session.
