What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling involves the use of a medically engineered device equipped with fine needles. The SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin, which prompts the body to begin a natural healing process. This results in the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help maintain the skin’s youthful structure and elasticity.
Treatment Options and Pricing
- Standard Microneedling: $450 per treatment.
- Microneedling with PRP/PRF: $850 per treatment.
Incorporating PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) involves using your own blood-derived growth factors to enhance the healing process and improve the overall results of the microneedling treatment.
Benefits of Choosing SkinPen Microneedling
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Helps achieve a smoother, more uniform skin texture and reduces pigmentation irregularities.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Promotes skin tightening and the smoothing of lines and wrinkles.
- Scar Reduction: Effective in diminishing the appearance of acne scars and other types of skin indentations.
- Pore Size Minimization: Helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.

How It Works: The Microneedling Procedure
- Consultation: Each treatment begins with a detailed consultation to tailor the procedure according to individual skin needs.
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- The Procedure: The SkinPen is used to create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate collagen and elastin production.
- PRP/PRF Application (if applicable): For those opting for enhanced treatment, PRP or PRF is applied to the skin to boost the healing process and results.
