We all could use a little extra support when it comes to keeping our skin healthy and vibrant. That’s why we love SkinPen® — the world’s first microneedling device cleared by the FDA. This trusted, minimally invasive treatment naturally stimulates your skin’s own collagen and elastin production, helping to improve texture, tone, and clarity. Whether you want to soften fine lines. reduce acne scars, or restore a radiant, youthful glow,

Treatment

SkinPen® works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface using tiny, medical-grade needles. These micro-channels trigger your body’s natural wound-healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production while improving skin tone and texture from the inside out.

The treatment is effective in addressing fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin dullness. As your skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Because microneedling is non-ablative and chemical-free, SkinPen® is safe for all skin types and can be performed any time of year.

Most clients begin to see improvement within days, with continued collagen remodeling and visible results that build over time. SkinPen® is an excellent option for anyone seeking long-term skin rejuvenation with a natural, regenerative approach.

Benefits of SkinPen® include:

  • Naturally boost collagen to smooth skin texture and reduce pores
  • Effectively diminish acne scars and soften fine lines
  • Enhance skin clarity for a brighter, more even complexion
  • Safe, minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime

Reveal Smoother, Healthier Skin with SkinPen®.

If you’re dealing with acne scars, fine lines, uneven tone, or dull texture, SkinPen® microneedling offers a clinically proven, non-invasive solution to improve skin health and appearance. Manufactured by Crown Aesthetics, SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is rigorously tested for safety and efficacy. It’s trusted by dermatologists and aesthetic providers across the country for its ability to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and promote collagen remodeling.

Unlike laser treatments that rely on heat or light energy, SkinPen uses precision-controlled microneedles to safely create hundreds of tiny microchannels in the skin. This initiates your body’s wound-healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother skin texture, minimized pores, softened fine lines, improvement in acne scars, and a brighter, more even complexion, with little to no downtime.

Approved for use on all skin types and tones, SkinPen is safe, effective, and supported by over 90 validation studies. At Facial Aesthetics, our highly trained providers use SkinPen to create personalized treatment plans based on your goals and skin needs. Whether you’re maintaining healthy skin or correcting visible imperfections, SkinPen offers a natural, results-driven path to smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin.

SkinPen® | Frequently Asked Questions

SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared microneedling treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the skin. These controlled injuries activate your skin’s natural repair process, boosting collagen and elastin production. It’s a safe, effective solution for improving skin texture, tone, and the appearance of scars and fine lines.

SkinPen® works by stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. As the micro-channels created by the pen begin to repair, they trigger new collagen growth and cell renewal, leading to smoother, firmer, and more even skin. Results appear gradually and continue to improve over time.

For enhanced results, many patients choose to add regenerative therapies such as Exosomes or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to their SkinPen® sessions. These biologic add-ons support faster healing and boost collagen production for even smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

SkinPen® is an advanced microneedling device that uses tiny, precise needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This stimulates your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, scars, and even out skin tone. The treatment is gentle, safe for all skin types, and involves minimal downtime.

Unlike some other microneedling devices such as Vivace, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for added skin tightening, SkinPen® offers a purely mechanical approach. This makes it a great option for patients seeking effective skin rejuvenation with a straightforward, gentle treatment and quicker recovery.

Your provider will help determine which treatment best suits your skin goals and needs.

Many patients begin to notice visible improvements after just one SkinPen® microneedling session. However, to achieve optimal and longer-lasting results—particularly for concerns like acne scars, deeper wrinkles, or uneven skin texture—a series of treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally recommended. This schedule allows your skin time to heal and build collagen gradually, enhancing the overall rejuvenation effect. Your provider will assess your unique skin condition and goals to design a personalized treatment plan that delivers the best possible outcome for you.

SkinPen® treatments involve minimal downtime compared to more aggressive skin treatments. Most clients experience mild redness and slight swelling immediately following the session, which typically subsides within 1 to 3 days. You might also notice light flaking or dryness as your skin renews itself after those 3-5 days. Because the treatment is gentle and precise, most patients feel comfortable resuming their regular activities within 24 to 48 hours. This quick recovery makes SkinPen® an excellent option for those seeking effective skin rejuvenation without significant disruption to their daily routine.

Yes, SkinPen® is considered safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker skin. The device’s precise, mechanical microneedling action minimizes risks of pigmentation changes or burns that can sometimes occur with laser treatments, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of patients. Additionally, SkinPen® is FDA-cleared, and when performed by a trained provider, it offers a controlled and predictable skin rejuvenation experience. During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history and skin condition to ensure SkinPen® is the right and safest treatment for your individual needs.
