The first and only FDA-cleared microneedling device — stimulates your skin's own healing power to reduce acne scars, fine lines, pores, and improve overall skin texture. Minimal downtime. Maximum results.
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, clinically proven to improve acne scars and facial fine lines. It works by triggering your skin's natural regeneration process — from the inside out — without chemicals, heat, or harsh resurfacing agents.
Using a precisely controlled motorized tip with medical-grade needles, SkinPen creates thousands of microscopic, controlled injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body's natural wound-healing cascade — specifically, the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The result is a fundamental improvement in skin architecture: tighter, thicker, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Because the treatment works with the body's natural biology rather than against it, results are gradual, natural-looking, and safe for all skin types and tones — including darker complexions that may be at risk for adverse reactions from laser treatments.
SkinPen is the only microneedling device with FDA clearance — meaning its safety and efficacy have been evaluated and approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Not all microneedling devices are FDA-cleared. This distinction matters for your safety.
The process is elegant: controlled micro-injuries trigger a biological cascade that produces new collagen for months after treatment.
Topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before treatment for comfort. The skin is cleansed and prepared with medical-grade serum that will be driven deeper into the skin during treatment.
The SkinPen device glides across the skin, creating 1,600+ micro-channels per second. The depth is precisely controlled by your provider — adjusted by area (deeper for scars, shallower for fine lines).
Each micro-channel triggers three stages of wound healing: inflammation (immune response), proliferation (new cell growth), and remodeling (collagen matrix reorganization).
New collagen and elastin continues to form for 4–6+ weeks after each session. Your skin progressively firms, thickens, and smooths — with results improving after each session in the series.
From acne scars to anti-aging, from pore refinement to stretch marks — SkinPen's collagen-induction mechanism improves a wide range of skin quality concerns.
Clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scarring — FDA-cleared specifically for this indication. Icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars all respond to treatment.
FDA-cleared to improve facial fine lines. Collagen induction plumps and smooths fine lines around the eyes, mouth, forehead, and neck.
Stimulates collagen around pore openings, tightening and minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother, refined complexion.
New collagen production firms and tightens mildly loose or crepey skin on the face, neck, and décolleté — a natural lifting effect.
Improves pigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone by stimulating cell turnover and fresh skin regeneration.
Treats stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and other areas. Deep collagen stimulation helps improve the texture and color of stretch marks over time.
SkinPen results develop progressively after each session. The collagen formation process continues for weeks — meaning your skin keeps improving long after you've left the clinic.
The procedure takes 30–60 minutes. Afterward, skin is red and slightly sensitive — similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients drive themselves home. Apply recommended post-care products.
Redness subsides. Many patients apply mineral makeup and return to normal activities by day 2. Avoid intense exercise and direct sun exposure during this window.
Many patients notice skin looking brighter, more even, and slightly smoother as new collagen begins forming. Pores appear tighter and skin texture begins to improve.
Results continue to develop as collagen matures and remodels. After completing your full series of 3–6 sessions, the cumulative improvement in scars, lines, and overall skin quality is significant and lasting.
