Quick in-office treatment (about 30 minutes)

Safe for all skin types
SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process. By creating tiny micro-injuries, it encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, improving texture, softening fine lines, and evening out the skin’s surface. Because it’s non-ablative and free of heat or harsh chemicals, it’s safe for all skin tones and types.
Here’s what you can expect:
Before Treatment
We’ll begin by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to help keep you comfortable during the session. This process takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to fully activate, allowing you time to relax before we begin.
During Treatment
Once the skin is numb, your provider will glide the SkinPen device across the treatment area in smooth, even passes. The pen uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface just deep enough to stimulate collagen and elastin production without damaging surrounding tissue.
You may feel a light vibration or a “sandpaper” sensation in certain areas, but most patients find the experience very tolerable.
SkinPen is commonly used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
SkinPen is most commonly used on the face and neck, but can also be used on other areas where scarring or uneven texture is a concern, such as the décolletage or shoulders. Your provider will guide you through the best treatment plan tailored to your specific goals.
SkinPen treatments are designed to refresh your complexion in a natural, gradual way. Instead of relying on fillers or harsh resurfacing, this treatment harnesses your body’s own collagen to create long-lasting improvements with little downtime. Patients often notice that skin feels smoother, looks more radiant, and fits seamlessly into their everyday routines.
Benefits of SkinPen:
SkinPen is safe for most skin types and tones. If you’re looking for a light, effective treatment to improve texture, early signs of aging, or scarring, it’s an excellent option, especially if you're not ready for laser or more intensive resurfacing. Patients with active acne, certain skin infections, or inflammatory skin conditions may need to wait until symptoms resolve.
We'll review your skin history and ensure it's the right fit.
After treatment, most patients experience redness and a warm, flushed feeling, similar to a light sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. It’s important to avoid makeup, sun exposure, and active skincare products during this time. We’ll apply a soothing post-treatment serum and walk you through simple aftercare steps to protect your results and support healing. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help support your skin’s healing and keep you comfortable.
You’ll be free to return home or resume your day with minimal interruption. Most patients resume normal activities right away, with just a few post-care precautions in place.
Most patients begin to notice softer, smoother skin within a week, with continued improvements over the following 4 to 6 weeks as collagen production increases. A series of three treatments, spaced approximately a month apart, is usually recommended for optimal results; however, even a single session can offer a subtle boost.
At Michael Spann, MD, your treatment is more than just a session; it’s part of a carefully considered, personalized plan. Every SkinPen procedure is performed under the guidance of a board-certified plastic surgeon with a long-standing reputation for natural results and honest care. Our experienced aesthetic team takes the time to understand your goals, your skin, and what makes sense for your lifestyle.
Whether it’s your first treatment or part of a larger rejuvenation journey, you’ll never feel rushed or oversold, just supported, start to finish.
Curious if SkinPen is right for you? Let’s sit down and talk through it.
You may notice your skin feeling smoother within a few days, but full results appear gradually over several weeks as collagen rebuilds. For deeper concerns, such as scarring, a series of treatments is often most effective.
A numbing cream is applied before your session to help minimize any discomfort. Most patients describe the treatment as mildly prickly, not painful.
Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared for the treatment of acne scarring and can help soften the appearance of pitted or textured scars over time.
Mild redness and sensitivity typically last 1–2 days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, avoiding heavy makeup and sun exposure during the healing period.
While you may see improvement after one treatment, most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 sessions spaced about a month apart.
Yes. It’s often paired with other non-surgical treatments, such as light chemical peels or injectable skincare, to support long-term results. We’ll help you design the right plan.
Yes, SkinPen is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types because it doesn’t use heat or harsh chemicals.
It’s best to allow at least one week of recovery before any major event, just to ensure your skin has fully calmed and is glowing.
