Results & Timeline
SkinPen Microneedling kickstarts collagen production immediately, but the real transformation happens gradually. In the first few weeks, your skin generates Type III collagen, which provides initial support. Over the next 3-6 months, this matures into Type I collagen—the strongest form, responsible for firmer, more resilient skin.
This means you’ll notice smoother, more radiant skin early on, but the real benefit lies in the long-term strengthening of your skin’s foundation. A series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, delivers lasting improvements in texture, scars, and firmness, with peak results emerging around 3 months after your final session.

Why Type 1 Collagen?
Type I collagen is the strongest and most structured form of collagen in the skin. It provides firmness, elasticity, and resilience.

How does microneedling work?
SkinPen works by creating tiny channels in your skin, which kickstarts your body’s natural healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps keep your skin firm, smooth, and plump.
Collagen is the key to healthier skin because it strengthens and rejuvenates, giving you that confident glow. It’s why everyone raves about it – it’s what helps your skin heal and look its best over time!
Does microneedling hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure with mild tingling.
We don’t recommend numbing cream as it can constrict blood vessels, making it harder to monitor the skin’s response. This can affect precision and results. If necessary, we’ll discuss the pros and cons during your consultation to help you make an informed decision.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24-48 hours. Some mild swelling and flaking may occur but typically resolve quickly.
How many sessions do I need?
For optimal results, we recommend 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, if you’re unsure, we offer divided treatment areas to help you test the results before committing to a full treatment plan. This way, you can experience the benefits and decide how to move forward.
When will I see results?
Some clients notice a glow within a week, but true collagen remodeling takes 3-6 months, with continued improvement over time.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
It’s best to avoid makeup for 72 hours to prevent irritation and allow the skin to heal properly. We provide you with after care products to help keep your skin nourished for the first 72 hours.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, SkinPen is safe for all skin tones and does not cause hyperpigmentation.
What should I avoid after my treatment?
For the first 48 hours, avoid excessive sun exposure, intense exercise, saunas, and harsh skincare products like retinol or acids. Your skin is in a healing phase and needs gentle care.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, but with caution. We don’t recommend combining microneedling with advanced treatments like chemical peels in one session. Microneedling requires your skin to be in its best condition, and adding stress with other treatments can compromise safety.
Combining some treatments with microneedling can also contribute to the misconception that microneedling is painful. For optimal results, allow at least 2 weeks between treatments.
How is SkinPen different from other microneedling devices?
SkinPen is FDA-cleared and medically approved, ensuring precise, sterile, and effective microneedling at the optimal depth for collagen production.
