What is SkinPen microneedling and how many sessions does it take?

SkinPen® was the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve tone and texture naturally. A session takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area, with numbing cream applied for comfort, and most patients experience only mild redness for a few hours afterwards. For optimal results a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended, with full results visible after three to six months as new collagen forms.

Benefits of Microneedling by SkinPen®:

Stimulates Collagen & Elastin Production – SkinPen® encourages the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks for smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.

Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Minimizes Pore Size – Shrinks enlarged pores for a more refined and even skin surface.
Enhances Skincare Product Absorption – Microneedling increases the absorption of your favorite skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Your SkinPen® Microneedling Experience

Microneedling with SkinPen® is a quick, in-office procedure that typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. After treatment, you may experience some redness or mild irritation, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

For optimal results, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. The results will gradually improve over time as your skin produces new collagen and elastin, with optimal results visible after 3-6 months.

Enhancements

Microneedling can be combined with either of the following, decided with your provider at your appointment.

The Promoitalia Mermaid Facial

Microneedling paired with Promoitalia's topical skin-boosting serums, chosen for what your skin needs on the day. It adds deep hydration and a brighter, dewier finish on top of the collagen response microneedling already creates - the "glass skin" look. Thirty minutes, with no significant downtime.

Available at Newport Beach. Read more about the Mermaid Facial.

PRP

PRP uses the growth factors in your own blood to support collagen production and healing. Added to a microneedling session it builds on the same collagen response, and it is also used on its own for skin texture, acne scarring and thinning hair.

Available at both locations. Read more about PRP.
