What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?

Microneedling involves the use of a grouping of fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries on your skin’s surface. These tiny punctures trigger your body’s natural wound-healing process, boosting the production of healthy new collagen and elastin.

SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device available, and is known for its safety, precision, and effectiveness. Unlike over-the-counter dermal rollers, SkinPen® is a medical-grade tool used in professional settings by trained providers. It can be safely used nearly anywhere on your body, making it a versatile option for treating a variety of cosmetic concerns.

What Are the Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling?

SkinPen® microneedling offers a variety of benefits for people who want to rejuvenate their skin with minimal downtime, including:

  • Improving skin tone and texture
  • Improving appearance of hyperpigmentation
  • Refreshing and brightening your complexion
  • Softening and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improving appearance of acne scars
  • Shrinking enlarged pores
  • Improving the absorption of topical skincare products

One of the biggest advantages of SkinPen® microneedling is the minimal recovery time required, especially when compared to more aggressive skin resurfacing treatments.

Am I a Good Candidate for SkinPen® Microneedling?

One of the reasons SkinPen® is such a popular treatment option is that it’s safe for all skin types and tones. Ideal candidates for SkinPen® microneedling are people who want to address
mild to moderate acne scars, fine lines, or uneven skin texture without invasive treatments that require significant downtime. You should also have realistic expectations for your results, understanding that they depend on your body’s natural processes, so they take time to develop.

The best way to determine if SkinPen® is right for you is to schedule a consultation with one of the skilled providers at Capital Center® MedSpa. They will assess your skin, listen to your goals, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs and desired results.

How Is SkinPen® Microneedling Performed?

SkinPen® microneedling treatments are performed at the Capital Center® MedSpa and typically take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Your SkinPen® procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area to remove makeup, oil, and any residual skincare products. While the treatment is generally well-tolerated, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the SkinPen® device is moved gently and quickly across your skin, creating micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s collagen and elastin production. The depth of the needles can be adjusted according to the type of skin concerns you’re addressing.

Once the treatment is complete, you can return to your daily activities, closely following your provider’s post-care instructions to help protect your skin as it heals and rejuvenates.

What Is Recovery Like After SkinPen® Microneedling?

Recovery after SkinPen® microneedling typically requires no significant downtime. You may experience some redness, swelling, and sensitivity (similar to a mild sunburn) for up to 72 hours after your procedure.

To ensure optimal healing after treatment, patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen both during and after the healing process to preserve results. You should also refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants or retinols, for at least 1 week after treatment.

What Can I Expect From My SkinPen® Microneedling Results?

One of the primary advantages of SkinPen® microneedling treatments is that they provide completely natural-looking results. Because it works from the inside out by stimulating your body’s collagen production, results appear gradually over several weeks and continue to improve over time.

While you may notice some initial improvement in skin tone and texture within a few days, the most dramatic results are typically visible after a series of three to six treatments spaced approximately six weeks apart. As collagen continues to rebuild, you’ll notice smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

The results of your SkinPen® microneedling treatments are designed to last, provided you maintain them with proper skincare and occasional touch-up treatments. One of the benefits of microneedling is its versatility—it can be used as a one-time treatment or incorporated into your ongoing skincare routine.
