SkinPen is run along the skin’s surface to increase the production of normal woven collagen (similar to fractional laser treatments) but without the side effects and downtime. By creating microinjuries in the skin, SkinPen microneedling treatments in Charlotte stimulate the natural healing process which results in new, healthy skin cells and improved elasticity.
Treatment areas include: Aging skin, Vertical lip lines, Vitiligo, Hyperpigmentation, Skin tightening and rejuvenation, Enlarged/dilated pores, Stretch marks, Scars, and Alopecia.
You will typically see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will become visible after 4-6 treatments. The condition of your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments.

SkinPen is a very versatile microneedling option. Because the treatment is highly customizable and the device can be adjusted for varying needle depths, SkinPen microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones. While those with darker skin tones are at risk for hyperpigmentation from other microneedling treatments, SkinPen can be adjusted to make treatment safe and effective for these patients. SkinPen microneedling is a suitable treatment for Charlotte patients who want to address irregular skin tone or texture like enlarged pores, stretch marks, or scarring as well as signs of aging like sagging, wrinkles, or age spots.
SkinPen treatments are relatively painless. Deeper treatments may require topical anesthetic cream to be applied before the procedure.
Generally there is no downtime. But you may experience facial redness for 12 to 48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Microneedling is often paired with other treatments to increase effectiveness and rejuvenation results. The microchannels created in the skin by SkinPen treatment allow for topical treatments to more deeply penetrate layers of the skin, so your esthetician will likely recommend applying professional-quality topical products immediately after your microneedling treatment. Some patients may also choose to have chemical peels or injectables such as Botox along with microneedling to enhance their anti-aging results. During a consultation, a complete and personalized treatment plan will be created for you to address all of your goals.
There are many benefits of SkinPen microneedling treatment. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be completed in as little as 20-30 minutes. Patients of all skin types and skin tones can benefit from SkinPen, and it is often preferable over lasers or chemical peels as a gentler option for those with sensitive skin. The treatment improves the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and other irregularities in the skin. Healing will continue after the procedure is over, meaning that patients will see the appearance of their skin continue to improve over time.
