How It Works

Step 1: Preparation (2 Weeks Before Procedure)

Before your SkinPen® treatment, it's essential to prepare your skin to ensure optimal results. This may involve following a tailored skincare regimen recommended by your practitioner to enhance your skin's health and readiness for the procedure.

Step 2: SkinPen® Microneedling (30-Minute In-Clinic Procedure)

SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared microneedling device designed to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. This process effectively addresses various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, pigmentation issues, stretch marks, and surgical scars. The minimally invasive procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and requires little to no downtime.

Step 3: Post-Procedure Care (Resume 24 Hours After SkinPen® Procedure)

Following your SkinPen® treatment, it's common for the skin to appear mildly to moderately sunburned. To aid recovery, gently pat the treated area with gauze and apply a soothing, hydrating mask as your practitioner recommends. For optimal healing, adhere to the post-procedure skincare regimen provided, which may include specific products to protect and hydrate your skin. After 24 hours, you can typically resume your regular skincare routine. Scheduling follow-up appointments will help maintain and enhance your results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is proper skin care important during the wound healing process?
Wound healing occurs in three stages: inflammation, cell growth, and tissue repair. Maintaining a balanced skin environment helps control inflammation and supports proper healing. Using products that promote a healthy skin barrier can aid in skin recovery.
Why choose SkinPen® over other treatments?
SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment with clinically proven results and minimal downtime. It supports the skin's natural healing processes for optimal outcomes.
Are there any contraindications for SkinPen®?
SkinPen® is not recommended for individuals with:

Active skin cancer
Open wounds, sores, or irritated skin
Allergies to stainless steel or anesthetics
Bleeding disorders
Those who are pregnant or nursing
What should I avoid before my SkinPen® procedure?
To reduce the risk of irritation and hyperpigmentation, avoid excessive sun exposure. Also, discontinue topical retinoids 24 hours before your treatment and consult your provider about any medications or supplements you take.
What does SkinPen® microneedling feel like?
The procedure takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most individuals describe a light prickling or tingling sensation. A numbing agent is often applied to minimise discomfort.
What should I expect immediately after SkinPen® microneedling?
Your skin may appear red, resembling a mild sunburn, and feel sensitive for a few hours. This is a normal reaction as the healing process begins. Most redness subsides within 24–48 hours, though mild sensitivity may persist slightly longer.

How do I care for my skin post-treatment?
Use only the recommended post-procedure products, such as gentle cleansers and moisturisers, for the first 24 hours. Avoid harsh skincare products and excessive sun exposure during this period.
Can I resume my normal activities after treatment?
Yes, most individuals return to work within a day. However, to allow the skin to heal correctly, avoiding intense exercise, saunas, and direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours is advisable. Also, refrain from wearing makeup for 24–48 hours.
What if my skin darkens before lightening after treatment?
This is rare but can sometimes occur in individuals with darker skin tones as part of the natural healing process. It should resolve as the skin remodels over time.
Can SkinPen® be used on the body?
Yes, SkinPen® can treat body areas with stretch marks or surgical scars using controlled microneedling techniques.
How does SkinPen® treat surgical scars?
For flat scars, standard gliding microneedling motions (vertical, horizontal, circular) are used. For raised or depressed scars, stamping techniques are applied until the desired outcome is achieved.
What is the recommended skincare routine after microneedling?
After microneedling, follow these steps to support skin healing:

Morning Routine:

Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities without irritating the skin.

Hydrate: Apply a hydrating serum to nourish and protect the skin.

Protect: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to shield the skin from UV damage.

Nighttime Routine:

Cleanse: Repeat the gentle cleansing to prepare the skin for overnight recovery.

Nourish: Apply a nourishing serum or treatment as your skincare professional recommends to support skin regeneration during sleep.
