What is SkinPen microneedling?
SkinPen is an advanced microneedling device designed to improve overall skin texture and tone by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the production of natural collagen and elastin.
This process, known as skin rejuvenation, helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. Unlike harsh chemical peels or laser resurfacing, SkinPen delivers results with minimal downtime, and providers can safely use it on most skin types and tones.
How SkinPen treatments work step-by-step
- Consultation and skin analysis – Your provider will evaluate your skin type, concerns, and goals.
- Preparation – Your provider will apply a numbing cream to ensure comfort throughout your treatment.
- Microneedling session – The SkinPen device will create thousands of tiny microchannels in the skin, stimulating repair and collagen production.
- Soothing aftercare – You’ll apply a calming serum or hyaluronic acid gel to hydrate and protect treated areas.
- Healing and results – Over several days, your skin naturally rebuilds smoother, firmer tissue, revealing transformative results within weeks.
Most patients experience visible improvement in skin tone and texture after only one session, with optimal results seen after a series of three to four treatments.

Common mistakes to avoid
Even the best treatments require proper care to get optimal results. Avoid these common post-treatment missteps:
- Skipping SPF during recovery — freshly treated skin is sun-sensitive
- Applying makeup too soon (wait at least 24 hours)
- Using exfoliating acids or retinol during healing
- Not completing your recommended SkinPen treatment series
- Ignoring hydration and aftercare products
Your provider will provide you with detailed aftercare guidelines to safely maximize the benefits of your treatment.

FAQs
Q: How should I care for my skin after a SkinPen treatment?
Proper aftercare maximizes your SkinPen treatment results. For the first 24 hours, avoid using makeup, exfoliants, and strenuous activities to allow your skin to heal. Keep your face clean, hydrated, and protected with a gentle moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF. Within a few days, mild redness fades, revealing rejuvenated, glowing skin.
Q: How often should I get SkinPen treatments?
Most patients achieve the best results from a series of three to four SkinPen treatments, spaced about four weeks apart. This schedule allows the skin time to heal and produce new collagen. After completing the initial series, a maintenance treatment every six to 12 months helps sustain long-term skin rejuvenation and a smooth, radiant appearance.
Q: Is SkinPen safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, SkinPen is very safe for sensitive skin types. Its precision-controlled needles and sterile, single-use cartridges minimize irritation while ensuring optimal results. Because the depth can be customized to your skin’s condition, even individuals with rosacea or easily reactive skin can enjoy gentle, effective rejuvenation with minimal risk or downtime.
Q: When will I see results?
Most people notice brighter, smoother skin within one week, as the surface begins to renew. Over the following several months, your skin continues to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in gradual yet significant improvements in tone, firmness, and texture. Consistency and proper aftercare maximize these naturally progressive skin rejuvenation results.
Q: Does the treatment hurt?
During your SkinPen treatment, your provider applies a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle vibration or mild prickling, not pain. Afterward, you may experience slight redness similar to a sunburn for one or two days, followed by smooth, revitalized, and healthier-looking skin.
