Skip to content SkinPen® Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that boosts the skin’s natural healing process to reduce acne scars, improve texture, and promote a smoother complexion. This treatment increases collagen production and cell turnover by creating controlled micro-injuries, leading to clearer and more rejuvenated skin over time. SkinPen® Microneedling offers instant results with minimal downtime, making it a reliable acne reduction and revitalization solution.
Microneedling
30-45 minutes
Minimal downtime
SkinPen® Microneedling at Viva Medspa & Wellness involves using fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which promote the body’s natural healing process. As collagen and elastin are produced to repair these micro-injuries, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even-toned. This process is particularly effective for reducing acne scars, improving skin texture, and minimizing fine lines.
This treatment benefits all skin types and tones. It is an excellent option for those struggling with acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin texture. SkinPen® Microneedling can be done on the face, neck, and other body areas to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin.
Before Treatment
Avoid harsh skincare products and direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours before treatment. Your provider will evaluate your skin and personalize your treatment depending on your skin type and concerns during the consultation.
During Treatment
The procedure typically lasts 30-45 minutes. After applying a numbing cream for comfort, the SkinPen® device creates controlled micro-injuries. You may experience a mild prickling sensation, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
After Treatment
You may experience slight redness or swelling for up to 24 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. For a few days after treatment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and harsh products. Results begin to show within a few days, with full benefits visible after a few weeks.
Enhances skin tone and minimizes the look of sun damage.
SkinPen® Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating micro-injuries in the skin. As the skin heals, it helps smooth, minimizes the visibility of acne scars, and improves the overall texture of the skin.
A numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild prickling, with only slight discomfort.
A typical SkinPen® Microneedling session lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the treated area.
Improvements can begin within a few days, but optimal results become noticeable after multiple treatments as collagen production continues over several weeks.
While SkinPen® effectively reduces acne scars, it can also help improve overall skin health by stimulating cell turnover, which may decrease the frequency of future breakouts.
The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, and mild skin sensitivity, which typically subside within 24-48 hours. Serious side effects are rare when performed by a trained professional.
