What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling uses a pen-like device with tiny, medical-grade needles that create micro-injuries in the face skin. This process stimulates your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production—two key components of firm, youthful skin. Unlike harsh laser treatments or chemical peels, SkinPen is gentle, making it a great option for all skin types. Whether you want to reduce acne scars, soften fine lines, or improve your skin's overall texture, SkinPen Microneedling can help you achieve noticeable, long-lasting results. It can bring your beauty to the surface and boost your confidence by:
- Rejuvenating skin from the inside out for younger-looking skin
- Providing results that are natural, safe, and effective for all skin tones and types
- Jump-starting new collagen without heat or chemicals
- Offering a quick-and-easy solution with little to no downtime
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
SkinPen is an easy, comfortable, and powerful skin rejuvenation treatment. Most patients see a difference in just three sessions.
Before Treatment: Your provider will cleanse the skin and apply a topical anesthetic for maximum comfort during the treatment.
During Treatment: The SkinPen device creates millions of controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process promotes collagen and elastin production while triggering the release of growth factors that attract and enhance reparative cells. As a result, your skin's natural healing continues for months after treatment. A SkinPen session takes about 30 minutes, but if a numbing agent is applied beforehand, your total visit may take up to an hour—perfect for a quick appointment before work or during lunch. For a precise time estimate, consult with Dr. Walker.
After Treatment: It's normal for your skin to appear slightly red, like a mild sunburn, immediately after the procedure. This typically fades within 24-72 hours. Some patients notice refreshed, glowing skin after just one treatment, with continued improvements for up to three to six months after their final treatment.
