SkinPen Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting collagen and elastin production. It is effective for improving skin texture, tone, and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores.

During the SkinPen treatment, tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, which triggers the body’s healing response. This process increases collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a treatment that combines the SkinPen microneedling procedure with the use of your own blood-derived PRP. The PRP, rich in growth factors and healing properties, is applied to the skin after microneedling to enhance the healing process, boost collagen production, and improve skin rejuvenation.

SkinPen Microneedling is effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and overall skin texture. When combined with PRP, it can further improve skin tone, brightness, and elasticity for enhanced results.

Most patients report mild discomfort during SkinPen microneedling, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to reduce discomfort. If you are receiving microneedling with PRP, the process is similar, with minimal pain due to the numbing cream.

The number of treatments depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be suggested depending on your skin type and desired outcome.

After SkinPen microneedling with PRP, you may experience redness, swelling, and slight discomfort, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Some patients may experience slight peeling or dryness in the days following treatment. Makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours.

SkinPen Microneedling with PRP is suitable for most skin types and individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce scars, or combat signs of aging. It is especially beneficial for those who want to enhance their skin’s natural healing process and achieve more dramatic results by combining microneedling with PRP. A consultation with a provider will help determine if this treatment is right for your specific skin concerns.
