Stimulate Collagen for
Youthful Radiance

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your natural healing process to improve texture and tone. Using fine, medical-grade needles, SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the production of collagen and elastin, two essential components of youthful skin. This FDA-cleared device effectively treats acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores without heat or chemicals. At Invigue, SkinPen microneedling is performed by our skilled providers to deliver safe and visibly transformative results.

SkinPen Microneedling Treats:

  • Acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
  • Dull or rough skin tone
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Sun damage and pigmentation irregularities
  • Stretch marks on various areas of the body

How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?

SkinPen microneedling works by creating thousands of tiny micro-channels in your skin using fine, sterile needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

As your skin repairs itself, it becomes clearer and more evenly toned. Because the treatment doesn’t use heat or chemicals, it’s gentle yet highly effective for improving texture, reducing scars, and rejuvenating your skin from within over time.

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling:

  • Clinically proven to improve acne scars and skin texture
  • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
  • Safe for all skin types and tones
  • No heat or harsh chemicals used
  • Enhances the absorption of skincare products
  • Results continue to improve over time with each session

Your SkinPen Microneedling Experience

Your SkinPen microneedling session at Invigue begins with a personalized consultation to assess your skin’s needs. After cleansing the treatment area, a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Using the SkinPen device, our provider gently glides across your skin, creating thousands of microscopic channels with precision-controlled depth. The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes. After your treatment, you may experience mild redness and sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn, which subsides within 24 to 48 hours. You’ll be advised to avoid sun exposure, makeup, and harsh products for a few days. Most patients begin to see visible improvements within a week, with smoother texture and brighter skin tone. As collagen production continues, your results will progressively enhance, revealing naturally rejuvenated skin.

SkinPen Microneedling FAQs

How Many SkinPen Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, but for optimal results, especially when treating acne scars or deeper lines, you may need a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. During your consultation at Invigue, we’ll assess your skin and recommend a customized treatment plan based on your goals and skin condition.

Is SkinPen Microneedling Painful?

The procedure is well-tolerated by most patients. Before the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. You may feel a light vibrating or scratching sensation during the session, but it should not be painful. Afterward, your skin might feel tight or slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually fades quickly.

How Long is the Recovery Time?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, tightness, and mild swelling for up to 48 hours. Most people return to their normal routine the next day. You’ll be advised to avoid makeup, sun exposure, and intense workouts for a short period to allow your skin to heal.

When Will I See Results From SkinPen Microneedling?

You may notice initial improvement in skin texture and radiance within a few days. However, since collagen production takes time, more significant changes, like reduced scarring and improved firmness, typically become visible after several weeks. Your skin will continue to improve for up to three months after each session.
