Rebuild Collagen, Restore Radiance
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, using fine needles to create controlled micro-channels that trigger your skin’s natural healing. The result is firmer, smoother skin with reduced scars and more even tone, no lasers, heat, or harsh chemicals.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
As we age, collagen production declines, the key protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and elastic, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, and discoloration. SkinPen offers a powerful, minimally invasive way to naturally restore your skin’s structure and glow.
This non-laser procedure uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing, stimulating collagen and elastin. Over time it improves texture, fades scars and pigmentation, and reveals firmer, more youthful skin. FDA-cleared and performed only in licensed medical settings like Elite Med Spa.
Why SkinPen Leads Microneedling
Not all microneedling devices are equal. SkinPen was the first to earn FDA clearance, setting a higher bar for safety, consistency, and results, backed by extensive clinical validation and sterile, single-use needle cartridges.
The Three Phases of Healing
SkinPen’s micro-channels set off your body’s own repair process, which unfolds in three phases to rebuild stronger, smoother skin.
Inflammation
The tiny channels increase blood flow as immune cells cleanse the area and begin the repair process.
Proliferation
The skin rebuilds with new cells and blood vessels, laying down fresh collagen and elastin.
Remodeling
New tissue replaces the old over weeks and months, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and more even.

The Procedure & Recovery
A sterile, single-use cartridge of fine microneedles attaches to the pen. After a thin serum is applied and the right depth is set for your skin, the pen glides across the treatment area in a gentle motion. Most sessions take about 30 minutes.
Afterward you may notice mild redness or sensitivity like a light sunburn, usually settling within 24 to 72 hours. Most patients see improved skin quality within a week, with results building as collagen rebuilds. We recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, and we’ll provide personalized aftercare.

SkinPen Microneedling FAQs
SkinPen uses fine needles at adjustable depths to create micro-channels in the skin. By gently puncturing the surface, it stimulates the body’s natural healing and collagen production, so new skin cells repair concerns from wrinkles to hyperpigmentation to scars. It’s safe and effective for all skin types.
The device’s individualized settings keep the treatment quite comfortable. The sensation is similar to a deep microdermabrasion, and a light numbing agent is applied to minimize any discomfort.
Your provider will recommend a plan based on your goals and skin health. You’ll see results after one treatment, but most patients benefit from a series of 3 spaced about 4 weeks apart. For deeper wrinkles, advanced photoaging, stretch marks, or deep acne scars, 6 sessions at 4 to 6 week intervals are recommended.
Right after, you’ll notice a healthy pink glow. On average patients are lightly pink for two to three days, and some heal completely within 24 hours. We’ll recommend specific product protocols to support your skin’s natural healing.
You’ll notice healthier-looking skin right away, and your skin’s natural repair continues over the following month. Dermal collagen remodeling builds over time and can keep improving for up to 6 months after your final treatment.
SkinPen is versatile and can be used across the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back, which makes it especially useful for back acne scars and stretch marks.
A sterile, disposable cartridge with tiny microneedles attaches to the pen. A thin layer of topical serum is applied, the right microchanneling depth is selected for your skin, and the pen is glided gently across the area. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes depending on the size and condition of the area.
Yes. One of the best things about SkinPen is that it works on all skin types and tones to address a wide range of concerns, anywhere that benefits from cell regeneration and skin repair.
