What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling device to revitalize your complexion from the inside out. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a safe and effective treatment that creates thousands of micro-injuries, engaging your natural healing abilities and improving your appearance with few side effects and minimal downtime.

What Are the Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling treatments are safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions. With few minor side effects that resolve within days, SkinPen is well-tolerated by most patients.

This technology can improve concerns such as:

  • Fine lines or wrinkles
  • Acne or surgical scars
  • Uneven texture
  • Melasma or other hyperpigmentation
  • Large pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Mild skin laxity

Can SkinPen Microneedling Help With Acne Scars?

SkinPen microneedling for acne scars can reveal smoother, healthier skin. Healing and collagen production happen gradually, so while many patients see subtle improvements in as few as one treatment, most experience their best results after three to five sessions.

Microneedling uses thin needles to create tiny, controlled injuries. When you heal, it will result in less noticeable scars.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is a safe treatment for all skin types and effectively increases collagen production with little to no downtime. Ideal Beverly Hills SkinPen candidates are generally healthy and want non-invasive options to improve their appearance.

Dr. Davis recommends SkinPen candidates should:

  • Be at least 22 years old
  • Live a healthy lifestyle
  • Be non-smokers, or willing to quit four weeks before and after treatment
  • Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook
  • Understand the potential risks
  • Be ready to follow procedural instructions

Not every patient is a good candidate for SkinPen treatments. Please tell Dr. Davis if you have any of the following:

  • A history of cold sores – you may need pretreatment medication
  • A history of keloidal scarring
  • Active acne breakouts
  • Metal or skin allergies
  • Taken Accutane in the past six months

What Can I Expect During a Microneedling With SkinPen Procedure?

Dr. Davis customizes all SkinPen microneedling procedures to help each patient achieve optimal results. Here are some general steps to expect.

Start preparing your skin in the weeks ahead of your procedure to achieve optimal results. Dr. Davis suggests maintaining a balanced diet high in protein and vitamin C-rich produce.

If you smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit for at least four weeks before and after your SkinPen procedure. Nicotine impacts your body’s ability to produce collagen, adversely affecting your microneedling recovery and results.

Before your SkinPen treatment, please avoid:

  • Sun exposure, including tanning beds, for one month
  • Harsh exfoliating products, such as retinoids, glycolic acids, or scrubs, for a week
  • Blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E, for a week
  • Alcohol, caffeine, and all nicotine products for three days
  • Hair removal procedures, including shaving, for a week

Please arrive at your appointment with a clean face. Your SkinPen treatment begins by applying a topical anesthetic. Then, Dr. Davis will guide the SkinPen over the targeted areas. You may experience the device’s vibrations; however, you should not feel significant discomfort. SkinPen procedures typically take 30 to 60 minutes.

What Should I Expect After SkinPen Microneedling?

You may experience redness for 24 to 48 hours after each SkinPen session. Other side effects may include dryness, tightness, peeling, and tenderness; however, these effects typically resolve in five days to a week. Be diligent about keeping your skin moisturized during this time.

SkinPen microneedling requires minimal downtime. You can resume most daily activities immediately following treatment. Still, we ask you to avoid:

  • Wearing makeup for 24 hours
  • No exercise for 24 to 48 hours
  • Hot showers, saunas, or Jacuzzis for a week
  • Exfoliating products like retinoids, glycolic acids, or scrubs for a week
  • Consuming alcohol for 48 hours
  • Smoking or using nicotine products for four weeks
  • NSAID pain medications, such as ibuprofen, for three days
  • Direct sun exposure for one to two weeks – apply sunscreen with SPF 30+ when unavoidable

How Long Does It Take to See Results From SkinPen Microneedling?

You can look forward to immediate and progressive results following SkinPen. Immediately afterward, you may experience sunburn-like redness for 24 to 48 hours. However, patients report their skin looks brighter and refreshed in about a week.

Since it takes time to stimulate collagen production, you’ll see continued improvements for four to six weeks after their final session. Most patients require three to five appointments for optimal results.

To ensure long-lasting results, thoroughly follow Dr. Davis’ aftercare instructions, including appropriate sun protection, skin care, and recommended follow-up treatments.

SkinPen Microneedling FAQs

The answer to this question depends on how many appointments you’ll need to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Davis will estimate the number of sessions and your SkinPen cost in Beverly Hills.

While some patients experience improvements after one SkinPen session, you may need more attention depending on your unique skin concerns and goals. Dr. Davis will develop your customized treatment plan based on your specific skin care needs, but she usually recommends three to five appointments scheduled every four to six weeks.

The results of each SkinPen treatment may last approximately four to six weeks, depending on your response. SkinPen encourages collagen production, so improvements are progressive. Your SkinPen results may last up to a year with proper maintenance and skin care. Dr. Davis may recommend biannual touch-ups to extend your results.
