SkinPen® is a professional microneedling treatment designed to improve skin texture, acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin quality by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process.
Using very fine, sterile needles, SkinPen creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin.
Over time, this remodeling process can help create smoother, healthier-looking skin with improved texture and a more refreshed appearance.
How SkinPen Works
SkinPen works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin without significantly damaging the surrounding tissue.
These microchannels activate the body’s natural healing process, which includes the formation and remodeling of collagen.
Treatment depth can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and the concerns being addressed, allowing your provider to customize your treatment to your skin.
What SkinPen Treats
SkinPen can be used to improve a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Acne scars
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or uneven-looking skin
- Overall skin quality
It is an excellent option for patients looking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin while stimulating natural collagen production.
More Than Just a Facial Treatment
While the face is one of the most commonly treated areas, SkinPen can also be used on other areas where improving skin texture or the appearance of scars is desired.
At Rammos Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, treatment areas and settings are customized based on your individual concerns and goals.
Collagen Remodeling Takes Time
SkinPen works with your body’s natural healing process, so results develop gradually rather than immediately.
As new collagen forms and the skin remodels, patients may begin to notice improvements in texture, smoothness, and overall skin quality over the following weeks.
Because collagen remodeling continues over time, improvement may continue developing even after the initial healing period.
Depending on your skin concerns and goals, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
SkinPen vs. Morpheus8™
Both SkinPen and Morpheus8 use microneedling to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, but they work differently.
SkinPen® uses traditional microneedling to create controlled microchannels within the skin, stimulating natural collagen remodeling. It is particularly useful for improving acne scars, texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
Morpheus8™ combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, allowing controlled energy to be delivered deeper beneath the skin. This makes Morpheus8 an option when concerns such as skin laxity or deeper tissue remodeling are also part of the treatment goal.
Neither treatment is necessarily “better”—the right option depends on your skin, concerns, and desired results.
Customized to Your Skin
Every patient’s skin is different. Treatment depth and technique can be adjusted based on your skin, the area being treated, and the concerns you would like to improve.
