SkinPen is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive microneedling device designed to dramatically improve the appearance of pores, fine lines, wrinkles and scars on the face and body. By creating thousands of micro-injuries in the dermis, the use of SkinPen triggers the skin’s natural self-repair process, including natural collagen production and ultimately leaving you with smooth, refreshed & glowing skin!
SkinPen is the world’s first FDA-approved collagen induction therapy device. Collagen induction therapy, or “microneedling” is a non-surgical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles. These repeated punctures cause an inflammatory response, stimulating the body’s natural wound healing process.
When this process takes place, the “micro-injuries” enable the skin to remodel itself with fresh dermal tissue. Better yet, this treatment enhances your skin’s ability to absorb skin care products, making your regular skin care routine even more effective!

SkinPen microneedling is an effective treatment for a wide range of skin types, tones and concerns. Our Charlotte patients absolutely love this option when they are seeking a virtually painless, non-surgical option for complete skin rejuvenation with little downtime
Prior to treatment, we will apply topical numbing cream 15-30 minutes before starting the microneedling process. This ensures comfort throughout the treatment. For most patients, microneedling is not considered to be painful; however, it may be mildly uncomfortable.
Once the skin is numbed, we will apply a reparative serum and begin passing the microneedling pen back and forth all over your desired treatment area(s). The tiny needles within the pen will create thousands of micro-injuries, triggering a natural healing response which, when healed, leads to a smooth, glowing complexion.
Once the session is complete, we’ll apply another layer of reparative serum, along with SPF, as your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun after your treatment. Your skin may become red and tight after your session, similar to the sensation that comes with a mild sunburn. This, along with pinpoint bleeding are completely normal and will resolve in the days that follow your treatment, leaving you with a refreshed, glowing appearance that will last for months!
