SkinPen Microneedling

Stimulate smoothness

Meet the first FDA-cleared microneedling treatment! Microneedling with SkinPen is an advanced service that stimulates collagen and elastin production, creating younger skin from the inside out. With SkinPen, we are able to rejuvenate your skin, to fade wrinkles, scarring, and texture.

How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?

SkinPen works by stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process, to speed up the creation of young, healthy skin cells. The microneedles puncture the skin gently in a way that triggers a healing response, but without creating any damage or scarring. It improves blood flow to the treated area and encourages the proliferation of new cells and blood vessel networks. This process not only speeds the production of skin cells but also helps them regenerate in a better way, for skin that looks healthier and smoother. We can also combine your SkinPen treatment with PRP, which stands for platelet-rich plasma. It utilizes your body’s own growth factors to stimulate an even stronger healing and anti-inflammatory response, for a dramatic skin rejuvenating effect.

What to Expect After SkinPen Microneedling

Immediately after your SkinPen treatment, it’s likely that your skin will appear red or flushed. A bit of swelling, sensitivity, dryness, tenderness or stinging, and even itching can also occur. These side effects are very minor, and they usually disappear within 24 hours.

Once the sensitivity goes down, your skin might appear brighter thanks to improved skincare penetration. However, the real results come a little further down the line. Microneedling with the SkinPen jumpstarts the skin’s healing and self-renewal process, so the best results normally show within a month or two, and last for up to six months.

What Conditions Does SkinPen Microneedling Treat?

Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating the skin’s healing response, SkinPen improves the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and overall loss of tone. It induces new collagen and elastin production which leads to smoother, firmer skin and significantly diminished wrinkles.

Acne Scars
The SkinPen can even repair tough-to-treat concerns such as acne scars. It encourages the skin to repair itself and remodel collagen even in cases where this is scar tissue, to visibly reduce the severity of acne scarring.

Surgical Scars and Stretch Marks
SkinPen can also address other types of scarring, including surgical scars and stretch marks. It helps break up the scar tissue while stimulating healing, to soften, fade, and smooth their appearance.

Melasma and Dark Spots
Microneedling can also help reduce hyperpigmentation like melasma and dark spots. Through the creation of new tissue, the SkinPen helps fade discolored skin and instead reveals an even-toned complexion.

The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your skin’s starting condition and your desired results. One treatment is often enough for subtle skin rejuvenation, but you will likely need to undergo at least 3 treatments spaced one month apart for more noticeable results.

The exact timeline will vary from patient to patient, but generally, you can expect to see results within a month or two after your last treatment, as the effects of the collagen induction start to become visible.

At The Lea, we pride ourselves on keeping our pricing accessible. A one-hour facial treatment with the SkinPen costs between $450 and $1000, depending on whether it’s combined with other treatments like PRP.
