Frequently Asked Questions
What is SkinPen microneedling?
SkinPen is a medical-grade, FDA-cleared microneedling device used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures help stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. As a result, it can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, and promote a smoother, more even complexion.
Is The Procedure Painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than pain. Your provider typically applies a topical numbing cream before starting the treatment to reduce sensitivity. During the procedure, you may feel a slight scratching or vibration, but it is generally well tolerated. Afterward, your skin may feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn.
How Many Treatments Are Recommended?
The number of sessions varies based on individual skin concerns and desired results. Many patients see noticeable improvement after just one to three treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. For deeper scars or more advanced signs of aging, you may need additional treatments. Your provider can create a personalized plan to help you achieve optimal outcomes.
What Is The Downtime Like?
Downtime is generally minimal. The skin often appears red, flushed, and slightly swollen for up to 24-48 hours after treatment, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Some patients also experience mild flaking or dryness as the skin heals. You can usually return to normal activities within a day or two and wear makeup after 24 hours, as advised by your clinician.
When Will I See Results And How Long Do They Last?
You may begin to notice improved skin texture and brightness within a few days to a week after treatment. Collagen remodeling continues for several weeks or months, so results typically become more evident over time. With proper skincare and sun protection, the results can last for several months to a year or more. Periodic maintenance treatments are often recommended to preserve benefits.
Is It Safe For All Skin Types?
Yes. SkinPen is considered suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI). Unlike some laser treatments, which carry a higher risk of pigmentation issues in darker skin tones, microneedling is generally safe for everyone. However, a consultation is essential to determine if the treatment is right for your specific concerns.
How Do I Care For My Skin After Treatment?
Post-treatment care typically includes:
- Gently cleansing with a mild, non-irritating cleanser
- Applying a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep skin hydrated
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum SPF
- Refraining from harsh exfoliants, retinol, or other potentially irritating products for a few days
Your provider will give you detailed post-care instructions to ensure the best healing and results.
Can SkinPen Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. SkinPen microneedling is often combined with other treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), chemical peels, or certain light- and laser-based therapies for enhanced results. Always discuss combination treatments with your provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
