What is SkinPen Microneedling?

At Frontier Dermatology we offer SkinPen Microneedling. SkinPen microneedling involves the use a pen-like tool containing many tiny microneedles. The microneedles are used to create tiny wounds beneath the skin to help with the transdermal delivery of hyaluronic acid which helps to heal the tissue, stimulate collagen production, and increase hydration. Microneedling is often used to improve common skin concerns such as:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Age spots
Acne marks
Rough texture
Stretch marks

What to Expect During Treatment with SkinPen microneedling

Before your SkinPen microneedling treatment, your skin will be prepped and a numbing agent will be applied to maximize your comfort. Your aesthetician will then begin gliding the microneedling pen across the target areas of your face, creating tiny punctures in the skin.

After your treatment, a serum or cream may be applied to your skin to optimize results. A home care regimen will also be recommended in order to maintain your results.

Results and Recovery

Your skin might need some time to heal after your treatment with SkinPen microneedling. Many patients experience mild redness and swelling, comparable to a sunburn. As you heal, your treatment area will go through several phases to produce healthier skin. Blood flow will increase in the area right away to begin the tissue production process. Next, the punctures are filled in with new collagen and elastin. Finally, stronger collagen takes its place, creating a structure and tightening the skin.
