If you’re looking for a treatment to help your skin repair and renew itself, SkinPen® microneedling might be perfect for you.

This treatment works deep below the surface to smooth out scars, brighten skin tone, and reduce fine lines, making your skin look and feel healthier.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses tiny, thin needles to make tiny channels in the skin.

While this might sound intense, these small channels have powerful effects.

They encourage the skin to produce more collagen and elastin—two things that keep our skin firm and bouncy.

The result?

Skin that looks smooth, clear, and more even.

Microneedling is often called “collagen induction therapy” because it’s all about boosting collagen.

More collagen means better texture, a more even tone, and a fresh glow. SkinPen® microneedling helps your skin renew itself naturally, so you look more refreshed.

The Power of Microneedling with PRP – The "Vampire Facial"

You may have heard about the “Vampire Facial,” which is a type of microneedling that includes PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).

PRP is made from your own blood and is packed with natural healing factors.

When PRP is applied to the skin after microneedling, it sinks into those tiny channels and speeds up the skin’s repair process, making the treatment even more effective.

Adding PRP to microneedling helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, shrink pores, and fade acne scars.

This combination works together to give your skin a brighter, smoother look that lasts.

Why We Use SkinPen®

Not all microneedling tools are the same, which is why we use SkinPen®.

This FDA-cleared device is designed to be both safe and effective.

It comes with a special BioSheath that prevents cross-contamination, so each treatment is safe and sanitary.

SkinPen® has 14 tiny needles that reach up to 2mm deep to create controlled channels that help your skin heal itself.

This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which reduces fine lines, smooths out scars, and firms up your skin.

SkinPen® is gentle yet effective for all skin types and tones, making it a great choice for anyone looking to refresh their skin.

Our Recommended Treatment Plan

For best results, we recommend pairing microneedling with PRP.

This combination speeds up healing, helps reduce acne scars, and gets great results with minimal downtime.

After your microneedling session, expect some mild redness, like a sunburn, for about 24 hours.

You may also notice some light flaking or peeling over the next week as fresh skin comes through, revealing a smoother, clearer look.

For specific issues like acne scars, we suggest doing three sessions, each one month apart.

Each treatment builds on the previous one, boosting collagen production and skin renewal over time.

After the initial series, an annual session can help keep your skin glowing and refreshed.
