Microneedling, like many other skin treatments, requires a series of sessions for optimal results. We recommend a microneedling session every four to six weeks until patients are pleased with their results. Patients often see a brighter, clearer complexion within a week of treatment, with more improvements over time. Skin concerns like acne scars, stretch marks, or wrinkles take longer to treat as your body gradually increases collagen after each microneedling session.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect from SkinPen® microneedling:

• More youthful skin with fewer wrinkles. Because collagen is essential for smooth, youthful skin but naturally decreases with age, microneedling is an ideal anti-aging solution. Boosted collagen makes your skin healthier and more youthful, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
• Faded scars. Microneedling is a natural way to improve the appearance of unsightly scars from previous acne and other conditions. It can also fade stretch marks.
• Increased radiance. Because microneedling clarifies the skin, it produces a healthy glow for a more radiant complexion.
• Better absorption of skincare products. Research has shown that microneedling significantly enhances the skin’s ability to absorb topical medications, which increases their effectiveness.

After your series of microneedling treatments, you can expect these benefits to last several months. We typically recommend a maintenance session every few months for long-term results.
