Microneedling
SkinPen microchannels stimulate collagen to soften fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
The treatment
How SkinPen® microneedling works
The concern
Fine lines, acne scars, large pores & uneven texture
SkinPen creates thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body's natural healing response and a surge of fresh collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, smoother, more even-toned skin that looks healthy and radiant — without surgery or significant downtime. We pre-treat with a medical-grade numbing cream so the experience stays comfortable from start to finish.

Benefits
Benefits of microneedling
1
Collagen stimulation
Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response to produce more collagen and elastin.
2
Reduced pore size
The microchannels created during treatment can help minimize the appearance of large pores, giving the skin a more refined look.
3
Increased skin firmness
By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin, leading to a tighter, more toned appearance.
4
Acne scar improvement
Microneedling reduces the appearance of acne scars by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen to gradually smooth and improve scarred areas.
5
Improved tone & pigmentation
Microneedling can help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, such as sunspots and age spots.
6
Enhanced product absorption
The microchannels allow for better penetration of topical skincare products, increasing their effectiveness.
7
Minimal downtime
A relatively gentle procedure with minimal downtime compared to more invasive treatments. Most people experience redness and mild swelling immediately after, which typically subsides within a few days.
8
Suitable for various skin types
Microneedling is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, making it a versatile treatment.
9
Natural results
Because microneedling stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes, the results are gradual and natural-looking.

Pre-Treatment
Avoid retinoids (tretinoin, retinol) for 5–7 days before treatment
Avoid blood thinners and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 3 days prior, if medically safe to do so
Avoid active skin infections, irritation, open wounds, sunburn, or severe breakouts in the treatment area — call us to reschedule
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment
Do not use exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, glycolic) for 3 days prior
Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup (we have makeup wipes & face wash at the office if needed)
Stay well hydrated leading up to your appointment
Inform your provider of any history of cold sores or keloid scarring
Post-Treatment
Skin will appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn for 24–72 hours; this is normal
Change your pillowcase
Do not wash your face or apply any products for at least 4–6 hours post-treatment (if you received microneedling with PRF or VAMP, please wait 12–24 hours before washing your face)
You will be given a topical skin hydrator at your appointment to use for the first 24 hours — we do not recommend any other products during this time
Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and active skincare ingredients for 7 days until your skin is healed
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30 or higher daily (after 24 hours)
Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and heat exposure for 24–48 hours
You may experience some peeling on days 3–5; do NOT pick any flaking skin
Results improve progressively — optimal results are typically seen after a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart
FAQ
Questions, answered
What does microneedling do?
Microneedling creates channels in the skin using sterile needles. These channels allow skincare products to penetrate more deeply and signal the body to produce more collagen — a foundational building block of the skin that creates tighter, firmer, more supple skin.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how comfortable it is. We apply a strong medical-grade numbing cream before your session, so you’ll typically feel light pressure and vibration rather than pain. Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure.
How much downtime should I plan for?
Downtime is minimal. Most people experience redness and mild swelling that looks and feels like a light sunburn, usually settling within 1–3 days. Many clients return to work the same day or the day after.
How many sessions will I need?
We typically recommend a series of three treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. After this series is completed, you can maintain your results with a treatment every 3–4 months.
When will I see results?
You’ll often notice a healthy glow and smoother texture within a few days. Because microneedling works by stimulating your own collagen, the most meaningful improvements in tone, firmness, and scars appear over 4–6 weeks and continue to build with each session.
What is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling works for all skin types and tones. It should be avoided by people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those with active acne in the treatment area.
Is microneedling safe for my skin tone?
Yes. SkinPen microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including deeper complexions, because it works mechanically rather than with heat or light.
What’s the difference between the HA, PRF, and VAMP options?
All three use the same SkinPen microneedling, paired with a different boost. Hyaluronic Acid focuses on hydration and glow and is ideal for most skin types. PRF uses your own platelet-rich fibrin for deeper regeneration and collagen support. VAMP combines microneedling with PRF injected directly into the skin for even more intensive repair.
