Microneedling

Microneedling with SkinPen®

At SkinWorks, we offer advanced microneedling treatments using the SkinPen®—the first FDA-cleared microneedling device clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture.

This powerful, minimally invasive treatment works by triggering your skin’s natural healing process to stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned skin.

Microneedling is highly effective in reducing the appearance of:

  • Acne scars and surgical scars

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

  • Enlarged pores

  • Stretch marks

  • Uneven skin tone and texture

What Makes SkinWorks Different?

While microneedling can be performed in many places, what makes SkinWorks different is the comprehensive protocol and attention to detail we apply to every step of the treatment process. Our microneedling is never rushed, never generic—each session is a carefully curated experience performed by highly trained professionals with years of clinical experience in medical aesthetics.

We have developed a specialized microneedling protocol that enhances both safety and results, ensuring that your skin receives optimal care before, during, and after treatment.

Treatment Highlights at SkinWorks

Advanced Numbing for Maximum Comfort

To ensure your complete comfort, we use a compound pharmacy-blended numbing cream that is far more effective than standard over-the-counter options. This potent formulation is applied generously and given adequate time to activate, ensuring you’re fully numb and relaxed before we begin.

Expert Technique with SkinPen®

Once the skin is properly numbed, our trained professionals use the SkinPen® microneedling device to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production without causing damage to surrounding tissue. The SkinPen offers precise depth control, making it safe and effective for various skin types and concerns.

Post-Treatment Care & Support

After your treatment, we provide a tailored post-care regimen with professional-strength healing products to support recovery, minimize downtime, and protect your results. You’ll also receive detailed aftercare instructions and have access to our team should you have any questions during the healing process.

What to Expect After Treatment

Most clients experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Results begin to show within a week, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended.

Whether you're looking to address scarring, refine texture, or simply boost your skin’s natural glow, microneedling at SkinWorks offers a medically advanced, highly personalized approach that delivers real, lasting results.

Microneedling with PRP at SkinWorks

Take your microneedling results to the next level with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)—a powerful, natural way to accelerate healing and boost collagen production using your body’s own growth factors.

At SkinWorks, we combine SkinPen® microneedling with PRP to enhance skin regeneration, improve tone and texture, and deliver faster, more noticeable results.

After drawing a small amount of your blood, we use a medical centrifuge to isolate the PRP, which is then applied directly to the skin during your microneedling session for maximum absorption and effectiveness.

Benefits of Microneedling with PRP:

  • Speeds up healing and reduces downtime

  • Stimulates deeper collagen and elastin production

  • Enhances skin tone, texture, and overall radiance

  • Helps minimize acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation

  • Promotes firmer, healthier-looking skin

Microneedling with SkinPen: Pre & Post Care Instructions

To ensure a safe and effective SkinPen microneedling treatment, please follow these guidelines to promote healing and achieve the best possible results:

Pre-Treatment Instructions

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds. Do not use self-tanning products.

  • Discontinue use of retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other exfoliants.

  • Avoid waxing, electrolysis, or depilatory creams on the treatment area.

  • Do not undergo chemical peels, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion.

  • Let us know if you have a history of cold sores; antiviral medication may be recommended.

  • Stop using any products that cause skin sensitivity or dryness, such as benzoyl peroxide or topical acne medications.

  • Avoid NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) and blood thinners, if possible and medically appropriate, to reduce the risk of bruising.

  • Do not shave the treated area the day of the procedure if it causes irritation.

  • Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or other skincare products.

  • Eat a light meal and stay hydrated.

  • If you’re prone to anxiety or discomfort, speak to your provider about numbing options or other accommodations.

  • Do not touch, pick, or scratch the treated area.

  • Avoid applying any makeup, SPF, or skincare products not approved by your provider.

  • Continue using only approved gentle skincare products.

  • Avoid sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen (SPF 30+) once approved (usually after 24 hours).

  • Redness and mild swelling may continue for a couple of days.

  • Mild flaking or peeling is normal as the skin begins to regenerate.

  • Gradually reintroduce your regular skincare routine as advised by your provider.
