FAQ's
Who is a good candidate?
Most adults who want to improve the overall health and appearance of their skin are great candidates for SkinPen microneedling. This treatment is safe for all skin types and tones and is ideal for those concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, rough texture, or uneven skin tone. Candidates should be in good general health and not currently experiencing an active skin infection, open wounds, or certain skin conditions that could interfere with healing. During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your skin and medical history to ensure SkinPen is the right choice for you.
When will I see the results?
You may begin to notice an improvement in your skin’s texture and tone within the first week as your body starts its natural healing process. However, the most visible results typically develop after a series of treatments, as collagen and elastin production increases. Full benefits usually appear around 4–6 weeks after your last session and continue to improve over several months.
How long do results last?
Results from SkinPen microneedling are long-lasting, especially when combined with a proper skincare regimen and sun protection. While your skin will continue to age naturally, the boost in collagen helps maintain smoother, healthier-looking skin for several months to a year. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments 2–4 times per year to keep their results fresh and ongoing.
Is there any downtime or side effects?
Microneedling is considered a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. Most patients experience redness, mild swelling, or a sensation similar to a sunburn for the first 24–48 hours. Some dryness or flaking may also occur as the skin heals. These effects are temporary and typically resolve quickly. You can usually return to work or daily activities the next day, but it’s important to follow aftercare instructions for best results.
What should I do before and after this treatment?
Before your treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, and harsh exfoliants for at least a few days. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean skin free of makeup and skincare products. After your treatment, it’s important to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Avoid direct sun, strenuous exercise, hot showers, and makeup for the first 24 hours. Use only the gentle products recommended by your provider until your skin has fully healed. Consistent sunscreen use is essential to protect your results and overall skin health.
What can I expect during this treatment?
Your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once the skin is prepped, the SkinPen device is passed across the treatment area, creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a light vibration. The treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the size of the area. Afterward, your skin may appear pink or slightly flushed, but you’ll leave with aftercare instructions to help your skin heal and maximize your results.
