Collagen’s wake-up call.
SkinPen® creates controlled micro-channels that kick-start your skin’s natural renewal, for smoother, healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.
Tiny channels, big glow.
SkinPen® is a medical-grade microneedling device. It was the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA. It creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, activating your body’s natural healing response and encouraging collagen and elastin production.
Because it’s non-ablative and non-thermal, SkinPen® can be customized for virtually any skin type, including darker skin tones.
A series of 3 to 6 treatments is usually recommended, especially for acne scarring and stretch marks.
What it can improve.

What to expect.
Comfort first
Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most people describe a prickly or ticklish sensation.
Right after
Skin looks flushed and feels warm and tight, like a mild sunburn. Redness usually resolves within 24 hours, occasionally up to three days.
The weeks after
Makeup is fine the next day. Results build gradually as collagen remodels; full results are typically seen about three months after your last session.
