Microneedling
A collagen-boosting treatment that uses fine needles to improve skin texture, reduce scars and minimize pores.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling with SkinPen is a minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using a medical-grade device with fine, precise needles, controlled micro-injuries are created in the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing response. The result? Smoother texture, improved tone, and firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Commonly treated concerns include fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and mild skin laxity. It can also improve overall skin radiance and support long-term skin health with a series of treatments.
Our providers take a customized, conservative approach—ensuring each treatment is tailored to your skin’s needs for gradual, natural-looking results and minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I do Microneedling?
- Initial: 3-6 sessions in one year
- Maintenance: 1-3 sessions per year
What can I expect, and what is the downtime?
This treatment is safe on any skin type, requires short treatment time and minimal discomfort with very little downtime.
Immediately after treatment, you will look as though you have a moderate to severe sunburn and your skin will feel warm, stingy and tighter than usual. This is normal and will subside after 1 to 2 hours and will typically recover within the same day or 24 hours. You will note decreased generalized redness after 24 hours, with an appearance of ‘road rash’ or abrasions in some areas.
Active skincare can be resumed again after Day 4.
When will I see results?
Initial results such as improved glow and smoother texture can be seen within 7–10 days. Collagen production continues over several weeks, with optimal results typically visible at 4–6 weeks. A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for best results.
What areas can be treated with Microneedling?
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest (décolleté), hands, abdomen, thighs, and areas with acne scarring or stretch marks. Treatment plans are customized based on your skin concerns.
I’m pregnant or nursing. Can I get Microneedling?
While microneedling itself does not involve medication, we typically recommend postponing elective aesthetic procedures during pregnancy and breastfeeding out of caution. A consultation can help determine appropriate options during this time.
