SkinPen Microneedling
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
The Process
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the skin's natural healing process to rejuvenate and improve its appearance. The SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries using fine, sterile needles, which penetrate the skin at precise depths. These tiny injuries trigger the body to produce more collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for keeping the skin firm, smooth, and youthful. As the skin heals, it becomes more even in tone and texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections.
What to Expect During Treatment
Why Choose SkinPen
SkinPen is a safe, effective, and precise tool that has undergone rigorous clinical testing to ensure patient safety. It offers a customizable treatment with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for individuals seeking to improve their skin’s health and appearance.
Consultation: During an initial consultation, your provider will assess your skin and determine if microneedling is right for you.
Preparation: A numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Procedure: The SkinPen will be gently moved across your skin, creating tiny punctures. The process typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Recovery: After treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tightness, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 1-3 days.
Results: Over the following weeks, as collagen production increases, you'll notice gradual improvements in skin texture and tone. For best results, a series of treatments is often recommended.

Injections for Bio-stimulator for Collagen Induction
Add-on Service
This procedure involves using the patient’s own blood, which is processed in a centrifuge to extract the most beneficial components of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin). The resulting solution is then injected under the skin in targeted areas, following the same techniques as traditional fillers. Unlike synthetic fillers, PRP and PRF contain natural growth factors and bioactive proteins that promote tissue healing and collagen regeneration. For optimal results, a series of three treatments is recommended, spaced one month apart, with effects becoming noticeable over the following months. Since the treatment uses your own biological material, it offers a natural, long-term approach to anti-aging, reducing signs of aging with sustained results.
