SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling is a very unique and somewhat new technology that uses multiple fine needles to vertically pierce the skin causing collagen remodeling. The SkinPen uses precise settings to reach a particular depth in the skin while minimizing damage to the topical skin. This treatment is used to treat scars from acne, new stretch marks, scars from burns or accidents as well as fine lines and wrinkles.

SkinPen is a fractional microneedling device that preserves the protective barrier of the skin, activates the normal cascade of collagen production and provides a sophisticated delivery system for particular products like growth factors, light therapy, and even certain chemical peels. The SkinPen is the perfect adjunctive treatment to receive with any injectable or facial surgical rejuvenation surgery as it tightens the skin, aids in wrinkle reduction, improves the look of crepey skin, reduces freckling and plumps up acne scarring.
Patients appreciate the minimal downtime involved and significant aesthetic results associated with multiple treatments. A series of 6 microneedling treatments is recommended once a year.
More recently, we have been using the SkinPen treatment in combination with other therapies. Your technician will determine if combining the SkinPen with a chemical peel, ultrasound or light therapy session may be right for you.
This exciting treatment is virtually pain free and can have little to no downtime or 7 days of downtime following a combination therapy session. Ask Dr. Geldner or one of his aestheticians if SkinPen microneedling is right for you.
SkinPen microneedling is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, leading to a range of benefits for overall skin health and appearance.
Key Benefits:
- Collagen Production: One of the primary benefits of SkinPen microneedling is its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and a youthful appearance. By triggering collagen synthesis, microneedling helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduction of Scars and Pigmentation: Microneedling can help reduce the visibility of acne scars, surgical scars, and hyperpigmentation (such as sun spots and age spots). The controlled micro-injuries created during the treatment promote skin cell turnover and the formation of new, healthier tissue, leading to smoother and more even-toned skin.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro-channels created by the tiny needles in the skin allow for better absorption of skincare products, including vitamins, antioxidants, and hydrating serums. This enhances the effectiveness of topical treatments, promoting deeper penetration and more significant benefits.
- Minimal Downtime: SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. Patients may experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after the treatment, which typically subsides within a day or two. Makeup can usually be applied the next day, making it convenient for those with active lifestyles.
- Versatility: SkinPen microneedling is suitable for various skin types and can be used to address multiple skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities. It is customizable based on individual skin conditions and treatment goals.
Overall, SkinPen microneedling is a safe and effective option for enhancing skin rejuvenation, promoting a more youthful appearance, and improving overall skin health. Regular treatments can help maintain and enhance the benefits over time, providing long-lasting results for patients seeking non-surgical skincare solutions.
