Learn What SkinPen Microneedling can do for You

No matter how well you care for your skin, at some point, the effects of aging, sun exposure, illness, and even stress take their toll. Suddenly, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, and other concerns become more visible, making you feel dissatisfied — and even self-conscious — about your skin’s appearance.

That’s when microneedling can help, promoting natural healing responses to repair skin itself without invasive therapies. At beYOU bioidenticals, our team utilizes the advanced SkinPen® microneedling system to get precise results that help your skin look and feel amazing. Here’s how it can help you.

The science behind SkinPen microneedling

SkinPen microneedling works by stimulating your body’s natural healing responses — particularly the production of collagen, which plays a role in tissue healing and forms strong networks to help skin look and feel firmer and smoother.

Unlike larger microneedling roller devices, SkinPen operates with a concentrated head of thin needles to achieve more focused, consistent, and reliable results, achieving patient satisfaction. The device is customizable, allowing us to control your treatment from start to finish so you can feel completely confident about your skin’s health and appearance.

In addition to improving the way skin looks and feels, SkinPen can also help your skin respond better to your at-home treatments, making it easier for skin to absorb topical treatments like serums or moisturizers for better long-term hydration.

Target multiple issues

SkinPen isn’t just for one type of skin concern. Its unique design makes it ideal for treating multiple issues that make skin look older, more worn, or stressed.

Fine lines and wrinkles

By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps smooth out shallow wrinkles and reduce the appearance of deeper lines over time. These results appear gradually as your skin increases its collagen supply and rebuilds natural supportive networks, creating a refreshed, more youthful look.

Acne scars and other texture irregularities

Microneedling can soften the appearance of scars caused by acne, injury, or even surgery. By creating tiny microinjuries, microneedling spurs natural healing responses that help remodel scar tissue, improving texture and leaving your skin looking smoother and more evenly textured.

Enlarged pores and uneven tone

Pores play an essential role in helping your skin “breathe” and stay healthy and lubricated. But sometimes, those tiny openings in our skin become enlarged and visible, making us feel self-conscious. SkinPen microneedling reduces pore size by stimulating collagen, resulting in firmer and toned skin over time. 

Stretch marks

Stretch marks form when weight changes or even growth spurts stretch the skin’s structure beyond its typical capacity. While some marks fade over time, others remain extremely visible, displaying a difference in texture or color compared to surrounding skin. Once again, microneedling’s collagen remodeling process comes to the rescue, helping skin replace damaged tissue with healthy, smooth tissue for a more uniform appearance.

During and after treatment: What to expect

SkinPen sessions typically last less than an hour and treat multiple areas in a single session. While the treatment itself isn’t nearly as uncomfortable as it sounds, we can apply a numbing cream beforehand if you’re nervous or if your skin is very sensitive.

After treatment, it’s normal to have some mild redness, swelling, or slight tenderness for a day or two, similar to the effects of a mild sunburn. While you can resume regular activities immediately, avoid sun exposure while your skin heals to ensure the best possible results. 

Many patients report improvements after just one session, but most benefit from a series of treatments that help skin rebuild itself over time. We can tailor a treatment plan specifically for your skin’s needs and your aesthetic goals.

Help your skin look and feel its absolute best

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment option that offers beautiful results for many skin concerns. Best of all, by improving skin’s overall health and underlying structure, your results can last for a long time —and repeated touch-ups can keep the magic going.
