Frequently Asked Questions
Is a microneedling treatment painful and what's the recovery like?
SkinPen microneedling treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort, and most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or a mild buzzing. After treatment, you may experience some redness and a feeling similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a day or two. Patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours, making it an easy treatment to fit into your routine.
How often do I need to get microneedling?
To achieve the best results, a series of multiple treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart is recommended. After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments will help sustain your results and keep your skin looking its best. Your provider will be able to tailor a plan based on your specific skin goals.
What does SkinPen microneedling do to my skin?
SkinPen works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process. It remodels skin without the use of chemicals, heat, or injections, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin over time. SkinPen’s results come from your body’s natural ability to remodel and renew the skin, offering a more natural and long-lasting improvement compared to other treatments.
Who is a good candidate for SkinPen?
