Over time, the amount of collagen that’s naturally present in our skin begins to diminish, which can give way to fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and other signs of aging. For anyone looking to improve the appearance of skin aging, acne scars, discoloration, uneven skin texture or stretch marks, SkinPen® microneedling can achieve a smoother, more even and younger-looking complexion.

Are You a Candidate?
Just about anyone who wants to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture and other common skin imperfections could be a good candidate for SkinPen microneedling.
However, men and women with active infections in surrounding areas may not be candidates for this treatment, as it does require the use of small needles in order to create tiny micro-channels within your skin, leaving you more susceptible to the spread of existing infection.

About SkinPen Microneedling
Also called collagen induction therapy, microneedling involves the use of a small handheld device called SkinPen to create many tiny micro-injuries within the treated skin. SkinPen Precision is the only Class II microneedling device that’s FDA cleared. Microneedling treatment triggers your skin’s own healing and collagen renewal processes, resulting in smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin over time.
Microneedling is not just limited to facial areas. It can also be used virtually anywhere on your body as well to help diminish the appearance of stretch marks, discoloration and sun damage.
You should not apply other topical skincare products directly following your microneedling treatment unless otherwise instructed, as these products will also be absorbed into your skin at an accelerated rate. Dr. Koehler will provide you with detailed aftercare guidelines to help you take great care of your skin following your microneedling treatment for optimal results.
What to Expect
Depending on the size of the area being treated, each microneedling session usually takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Risks and Complications
Complications can arise from microneedling if you have an active infection at the time of your treatment. You might notice some common side effects such as redness and swelling for a few days after your procedure, but these symptoms typically diminish on their own as your skin continues to heal.*
Your New Look
Most people see the best results after a series of microneedling treatments, although you might notice an improvement in your skin’s appearance after just a single session. Because microneedling procedure works by stimulating collagen renewal, your results should continue to develop over the next several weeks.*
