SkinPen Microneedling is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device that is clinically proven to treat acne scars on people ages 22 and older. SkinPen is safe and effective for all skin types.
Skin rejuvenation with SkinPen
Beautiful, supple skin free from scars, hyperpigmentation or stretch marks is the goal of many men and women. Until now, most effective skin enhancing treatments have involved the use of lasers, which can be quite painful and may take several days or weeks to heal. Offering a safe and effective, non-surgical treatment option that could be used on any part of the body was our goal in selecting SkinPen as our latest, non-surgical skincare option at the Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery in Grand Rapids.
State-of-the-art microneedling device: SkinPen
SkinPen is a safe and effective, state-of-the-art, non-surgical microneedling medical device that improves acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, softens fine lines and wrinkles and improves overall skin quality with little to no downtime. Called “collagen injection therapy,” the treatment creates many microscopic channels in the dermis, stimulating increased natural production of collagen and elastin.
Unlike many laser treatments, this in-office treatment is essentially painless and offers very quick recovery, in a session requiring only about 30 minutes. SkinPen microneedling can also be used in conjunction with other skincare treatments such as Ultherapy, Exilis, or medical-grade skincare products. By creating micro- channels, skincare products are delivered to the skin more effectively for enhanced results.
What is SkinPen microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling is a non-surgical, medical grade precision tool that works by creating a series of microscopic channels into the dermis to stimulate the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, which also allow products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing results.

How many SkinPen microneedling treatments are necessary to see results?
SkinPen results vary between individuals and type of skincare concerns being addressed. A series of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart may be recommended to achieve optimal results. For patients with deeper wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive six to eight sessions at four to six-week intervals for best results.
Is there any downtime with SkinPen microneedling?
The downtime with SkinPen microneedling depends on the depth of the repair process required. It is typical for patients to have some slight redness/pinkness – much like a mild sunburn, for two to four days following the procedure. Most patients heal completely in about 24 hours.
