Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to improve skin quality.
By working with your skin’s natural regenerative abilities, this versatile treatment addresses everything from texture and dullness to fine lines and scarring, all with relatively minimal downtime.
As one of our most popular treatments, we choose the most clinically-studied technology to support it. Here’s what you need to know about microneedling with SkinPen.
Microneedling with SkinPen uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-wounds in the skin. This triggers your skin’s healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. As cells regenerate over time, you’ll see improvements in skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring and pigment.
What makes microneedling with SkinPen so versatile? Your treatment is completely customized based on your concerns. With adjustable needle depths, we can reach different layers of the skin and stimulate renewal exactly where you need it.

Microneedling with SkinPen creates millions of microchannels per treatment. Regenerative add-ons like PDGF, PRP and Sculptra allow you to capitalize on the collagen production that’s already happening.
PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) is a clinically-derived version of what your body naturally produces. It delivers a standardized concentration of growth factors that accelerates repair and recovery while improving long-term skin quality.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, comes directly from your own blood and contains a variety of growth factors. When microneedled into the skin, it supports maximum collagen production and natural rejuvenation.
Sculptra works differently. Rather than relying on growth factors, this biostimulator encourages the skin’s natural collagen production process over time, gradually restoring firmness and support.
However you choose to enhance it, microneedling with SkinPen remains a versatile, minimally-invasive treatment that targets acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, texture, pigment and the appearance of pores.
