SkinPen Microneedling

Pre-Treatment
Avoid using retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other harsh skincare products for at least 3-5 days before treatment to minimize skin sensitivity. Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning to prevent irritation. If you are prone to cold sores, inform your provider, as antiviral medication may be recommended before treatment.
Post-Treatment
Your skin may appear red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24-48 hours. Use only gentle skincare products, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear SPF 30+ daily to protect your healing skin. Refrain from wearing makeup or using active skincare ingredients like retinol and acids for at least 24-48 hours.
What to Expect
SkinPen Microneedling may cuase redness, slight swelling, and a mild sunburn-like sensation, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Some patients notice light peeling or dryness as the skin heals. Your provider will give you specific post-care instructions to maximize results.
After SkinPen Microneedling, your skin will appear firmer, smoother, and more even-toned as collagen production increases over time. You may notice an improvement in fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation after a series of treatments.
For SkinPen Microneedling, most patients schedule treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 3-6 sessions recommended depending on individual skin concerns.
SkinPen Microneedling is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to the body’s increased sensitivity and healing response. It is best to wait until after pregnancy and consult with your provider for alternative treatments.
With SkinPen Microneedling, most patients experience mild discomfort, but a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize any pain. The sensation is often described as a slight tingling or scratching feeling.
