As time passes, signs of aging like uneven skin texture, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation become more noticeable. That once-radiant glow seems a little less vibrant because, over time, our collagen and elastin production naturally slows down, leaving our skin less smooth and firm. And when your creams and serums no longer seem to make a difference, it might be time to explore something new. What if we told you there was an effective way to smooth those fine lines, even out skin tone, and restore radiance? With SkinPen Microneedling, you can address these common signs of aging and rediscover skin that looks and feels rejuvenated.

Whether it’s scars, fine lines, wrinkles, texture, large pores, hyperpigmentation, or overall skin rejuvenation, SkinPen Microneedling can help. It is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that helps your skin repair itself from the inside out. Using a medical-grade device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, SkinPen stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing process, which then encourages collagen and elastin production. With this boost in production, you’ll start to see an improvement in overall skin texture and tone.
What Are the Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling encourages collagen and elastin production—the proteins responsible for keeping our skin firm and plump. And while that’s a benefit on its own, it’s just the beginning.

Who Is A Candidate For SkinPen Microneedling?
While skin rejuvenation and a youthful appearance certainly sounds amazing, what does it really mean for you? SkinPen Microneedling is ideal for anyone looking to improve their skin’s texture and tone or reduce the appearance of scars. It is a versatile treatment that works on all skin types and is designed to address common skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, hyperpigmentation, or uneven texture. SkinPen Microneedling isn’t just for your face either—use it to enhance the appearance of the skin on your neck, decolletage, or hands. The best way to find out if SkinPen Microneedling is right for you is through a consultation with one of our team members at Coastal Medical Aesthetics.
The SkinPen Microneedling Treatment
Before your SkinPen Microneedling treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area so you experience minimal discomfort during your procedure. Once the skin is fully prepped, your provider will gently guide the SkinPen device over the targeted areas, creating microscopic injuries to the skin. Depending on the skin concerns being addressed, your provider may adjust the depth of the SkinPen needle. This procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. After the treatment, we will make sure you leave with personalized aftercare instructions to help optimize your results.
SkinPen Microneedling Recovery and Results
After your treatment, it is normal to experience some temporary swelling and slight redness. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the intensity of the treatment. During your recovery period, it is best to only use gentle skincare products and avoid sun exposure, sweating, and makeup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a SkinPen Microneedling Treatment Take?
A SkinPen Microneedling session typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. This is largely dependent on the size of the area treated and the intensity of the treatment.
Is a SkinPen Microneedling Treatment Painful?
Microneedling is not painful, but we do apply a topical anesthetic beforehand to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Most clients describe SkinPen as a mild pricking or vibrating sensation.
Are There Any Side Effects of SkinPen Microneedling?
Redness, swelling, and skin flaking are the most common side effects of SkinPen Microneedling. These are temporary and should go away after a few days. If you experience more severe side effects, such as bruising, peeling, bleeding, or infection, contact a medical professional immediately.
How Long Does It Take to See Results From SkinPen Microneedling?
The healing time will depend on the person, as skin tone, texture, and sensitivity all play a role in how skin responds. Most people will see results within a few weeks, however, it can take several months to see the full effect. This is because your skin’s natural repair process continues to progress over time, with collagen and elastin production also gradually increasing.
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Optimal Results?
The number of SkinPen Microneedling sessions needed may depend on your skin type, concerns, and how your skin responds to the treatment. For many, at least three sessions are recommended with four weeks in between each one. This gap ensures the skin has had ample time to heal. For more severe skin concerns, such as acne scars, up to 12 sessions may be needed for best results. During your consultation, we will develop a customized treatment plan for your goals.
Can SkinPen Microneedling Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes, SkinPen Microneedling can be combined with other treatments to enhance results.
What Should I Do Before and After a SkinPen Microneedling Treatment?
A week before your SkinPen Microneedling treatment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and discontinue any use of exfoliants. Let your provider know if you are taking any blood-thinning medications, as these may affect your treatment.
For the first 24 hours after treatment, cleanse your skin with only cool water. Use a gentle cleanser and light moisturizer for the next few days. It is highly important that you apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30 for the next two weeks and avoid products with active ingredients, such as retinoids or AHAs. These can cause irritation during the recovery process.
