What is SkinPen® Microneedling?


SkinPen® Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin by working with your body's natural healing process, not against it. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen creates thousands of precise microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and overall skin firmness.


The result is healthier, smoother, more radiant skin that continues to improve for weeks, and even months, as new collagen develops. Each treatment is fully customized to your skin's unique needs, creating natural-looking, balanced results that enhance your skin without changing your appearance.


At Skin Refined Aesthetics, we proudly use SkinPen®, the gold standard in microneedling technology, to provide a safe, precise, and results-driven treatment experience.


For the best long-term improvement, we typically recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and goals.

Questions Answered

What does microneedling treat?

Microneedling improves acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, texture, and overall skin firmness. It stimulates collagen and elastin to strengthen the skin from within.

When will I see results?

You’ll notice a glow within a week, but collagen production builds gradually. The most visible improvements appear over 4–6 weeks as the skin strengthens and remodels.

How many sessions will I need?

For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is recommended, depending on your goals and skin condition.

Can microneedling help with acne scars?

Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving the appearance of acne scars by stimulating new collagen and smoothing uneven texture.

How much downtime should I expect?

Expect redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Mild swelling or dryness can occur for a few days. Makeup is typically avoided for 24 hours.

Does microneedling hurt?

Most clients describe it as uncomfortable but very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types when performed professionally. Your skin will always be assessed first to ensure it’s appropriate for you.

What should I avoid after treatment?

Avoid direct sun exposure, intense workouts, active skincare ingredients (like retinol or acids), and makeup for at least 24 hours. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions.
