SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality. It is ideal for individuals looking to address concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture without surgery. This treatment works with the skin’s natural healing process to create smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin over time. SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and can be customized to meet a wide range of aesthetic goals.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a medical-grade device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro channels stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which helps repair and renew the skin from within. Unlike superficial treatments, SkinPen reaches deeper layers of the skin to promote long-term improvement in texture and firmness. It is a safe and effective option for patients seeking visible results with minimal downtime.

What to Expect With SkinPen Microneedling
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation, where Dr. McIntosh will evaluate your skin concerns, discuss your goals, and determine if SkinPen Microneedling is the right treatment for you. This visit helps ensure a tailored approach that aligns with your skin needs.
Choosing the Right Approach
Based on your skin type and concerns, the treatment plan is customized to address specific problem areas. The depth and intensity of the microneedling process are carefully selected to deliver optimal results while maintaining comfort and safety.
Pre-Treatment Preparations
Before treatment, patients are typically advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and discontinue certain skincare products that may increase sensitivity. Arriving with clean, makeup-free skin allows the procedure to be performed effectively.
Treatment Steps
During the treatment, the SkinPen device is gently passed over the skin, creating precise micro-injuries. A topical numbing agent is often applied beforehand to enhance comfort. The session typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, mild redness and sensitivity are common and usually subside within a few days. Patients are encouraged to follow a gentle skincare routine and apply sunscreen to protect the skin. Over the following weeks, collagen production increases, leading to gradual improvements in texture and firmness.
