Refine your skin’s texture and tone with SkinPen® microneedling—a pioneering treatment that activates your body’s natural healing power. This minimally invasive solution targets fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores, helping you feel confident in your skin.
Jumpstart your natural collagen production
SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that jumpstarts your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using a device with ultra-fine needles, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface—triggering a regenerative healing response without damaging surrounding tissue. Over time, this process helps smooth fine lines, reduce acne scars, minimize pores, and improve overall texture. Because it works from within, the results look and feel natural and continue building over time.
SkinPen microneedling treats:
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne scars and other textural irregularities
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin tone
- Mild skin laxity and dullness
- Sun damage and pigmentation concerns
- Stretch marks on the body
- Rough or uneven skin texture
SkinPen microneedling add-ons available
PRP
PRP uses the healing power of your own body to rejuvenate your skin. After a small blood draw, your provider isolates the platelet-rich plasma—rich in growth factors—and applies it right after microneedling. Because the microchannels created by the SkinPen allow for deep absorption, PRP penetrates beneath the surface to speed up tissue repair, boost collagen production, and reduce downtime. The result: faster healing and a more youthful glow.
Exosomes
We proudly offer EXO|E exosomes, a cutting-edge, plant-derived system that supports skin regeneration after aesthetic treatments like microneedling. These extracellular vesicles enhance the results of microneedling by signaling skin cells to repair, renew, and restore themselves more effectively. EXO|E delivers potent growth factors and anti-inflammatory signals deep into the skin through the microneedling channels—accelerating collagen synthesis, reducing redness, and improving overall texture and tone.
How SkinPen microneedling is done
Your treatment begins with a gentle cleanse and the application of a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Once your skin is prepped, your provider glides the SkinPen device across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels with tiny, sterile needles.
You may feel a buzzing sensation, but most patients describe it as mild. These micro-injuries stimulate your skin’s natural healing process from within. Afterward, your provider may apply PRP or exosomes to maximize your results and support rapid recovery.

How long does a SkinPen treatment take?

SkinPen microneedling FAQs
Does SkinPen microneedling hurt?
Most patients find the treatment very tolerable. Before starting, your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. You may feel a light scratching or vibrating sensation during the procedure, especially in more sensitive areas, but it’s typically mild. After the treatment, your skin may feel warm or tight—similar to a mild sunburn—for a few hours.
Is there any downtime?
SkinPen microneedling involves minimal downtime. You can return to most of your normal activities within a day, although we recommend avoiding heavy sweating, direct sun exposure, and makeup for 24 hours to allow your skin time to heal properly.
How many treatments will I need?
You’ll begin seeing improvement after just one session, but a series of treatments is usually recommended for the best results. Most people benefit from a series of 3 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. If you’re targeting deeper acne scars, stretch marks, or more advanced signs of aging, your provider may suggest additional treatments.
When will I see the results from SkinPen microneedling?
You may notice a fresh, healthy glow within the first week, but collagen remodeling continues for weeks after treatment. Most people see visible improvement in tone and texture around 2 to 3 weeks post-treatment, with the full results developing over the next several months. Because it stimulates your skin’s own healing, the results are natural and long-lasting.
