What is SkinPen microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling is a medical skin treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin. These controlled stimuli stimulate the skin to produce collagen and elastin, two essential building blocks for firm and smooth skin. The treatment is performed with the SkinPen, an FDA-approved microneedling system for professional use.

How does SkinPen microneedling work?

The treatment takes place in carefully constructed steps.

  • The skin is cleaned and prepared.
  • If necessary, a numbing cream is applied.
  • The SkinPen makes controlled micro-perforations in the skin.
  • The skin immediately starts the natural recovery process.


    • The depth and intensity are adjusted to the treatment area and your skin condition.

    Results and effects

    After the treatment, the skin may be temporarily red, similar to a mild sunburn. The results will gradually become visible in the following weeks.

    

  • Improvement of skin structure and texture

  • Reduction of fine lines

  • More even complexion

  • Refining of pores

  • Softening of acne scars


    • For optimal results, multiple treatments are usually necessary. The effect builds in the months following the treatment.
