If you’re looking for a treatment that can truly transform your skin from the inside out, microneedling is one of the most effective options available today. Known for improving texture, softening scars, and boosting overall radiance, microneedling delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime—making it a favorite for patients who want healthier, smoother skin without harsh procedures.
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
At The Aesthetic Center, we use SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, to ensure consistent, safe, and effective results. SkinPen’s ultrafine, sterile needles create thousands of micro-injuries at a depth customized to your skin’s needs. As your skin naturally repairs itself, it triggers the production of new collagen and elastin, which keeps skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
Top Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
1.Improves Skin Texture & Refines Pores
The controlled micro-injuries created by the SkinPen device stimulate fresh collagen production, helping your skin become smoother and more refined over time. This process minimizes the look of enlarged pores and rough texture, giving the skin a softer, more even appearance.
2. Reduces the Appearance of Acne Scars
Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving acne scarring. As collagen and elastin rebuild within the skin, uneven areas gradually lift and smooth. Whether scars are new or long-standing, SkinPen helps create a more uniform, balanced complexion.
3. Softens Fine Lines & Early Signs of Aging
By encouraging healthy collagen renewal, SkinPen helps soften fine lines, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. With continued treatments, skin becomes firmer and more resilient, making it an excellent option for those wanting a natural-looking refresh without downtime.
4. Enhances Skin Tone & Radiance
If your skin appears dull, uneven, or tired, microneedling can help restore a brighter, more radiant look. The healing process increases cell turnover and promotes healthier skin from within, leading to improved tone and a noticeable glow.
5. Boosts the Effectiveness of Your Skincare Products
The microchannels created during treatment allow serums and active ingredients to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This gives your at-home routine a significant boost and helps you maintain results between visits.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During your SkinPen microneedling treatment, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable, with a light scratching or vibrating sensation as the SkinPen device moves across the skin.
After treatment, your skin may appear pink or slightly sunburned, which is completely normal and typically resolves within 24–48 hours. In the days following your appointment, you may experience mild tightness or dryness as your skin begins the natural healing process. Most people return to their normal activities right away, avoiding sun exposure, makeup for the first 24 hours, and intense workouts for the remainder of the day. As collagen production continues over the next several weeks, you’ll notice smoother texture, improved tone, and a refreshed, healthy glow.
Who is a Good Candidate?
SkinPen microneedling is a great option for many people looking to improve the overall health and appearance of their skin. It’s suitable for all skin types and tones and is especially beneficial for those looking to address concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, large pores, uneven texture, or general dullness. It’s also ideal for anyone seeking a natural, collagen-stimulating treatment with minimal downtime.
