Microneedling/ Skin Pen
Microneedling with the SkinPen II taps your skin’s own healing response to build fresh collagen and elastin, helping smooth scars, wrinkles, and uneven tone with little to no downtime.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment performed with the SkinPen II. Fine needles create tiny punctures in the skin, prompting your body’s natural healing process to produce new collagen and elastin for healthier, younger-looking skin.
Treatment is not limited to the face. Microneedling can be performed on the neck and chest, making it a flexible option for many common skin concerns.
Minimal Downtime
A minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime, so you can get back to your routine quickly.
Natural Collagen Renewal
Tiny punctures trigger your body’s own healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production.
Treats Many Concerns
Effective for scars, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven tone, stretch marks, lax skin, large pores, and thin skin.
Is Microneedling Right for You?
Microneedling is safe for most people, though every procedure carries some risk. Side effects can include infection, bleeding, bruising, and swelling. A consultation with our esthetician helps confirm whether SkinPen treatment fits your skin and goals.
- You want smoother, healthier-looking skin without surgery or significant downtime
- You do not have an active skin infection
- You are not in the middle of an acne flare-up
- You have no history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring
- You understand the possible side effects, including bruising and swelling
How SkinPen Treatment Works
Before treatment begins, a numbing cream is applied to the area for your comfort. The SkinPen II then passes over the skin, creating controlled micro-punctures that stimulate repair from within. The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, and a soothing gel or mask is applied afterward.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
Many patients notice improvement after their first session. For best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, tailored to your skin concerns and goals.
- One SkinPen treatment: $250
- Package of three treatments: $600
