SkinPen Microneedling

Stimulate natural collagen with collagen induction therapy.

What it is:

SkinPen Microneedling is a medical-grade, FDA-cleared treatment that creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. The result? A visible boost in collagen and elastin that helps fade acne scars, soften fine lines, minimize pores, and enhance skin texture.

At In With The Skin, we combine this cutting-edge technology with a customized, science-backed approach tailored to your skin’s unique needs, so you see real, lasting results. Confident, cared for, and ready to shine.

Each session begins with a thorough consultation, skin prep, and the application of a topical numbing cream for maximum comfort. The SkinPen device is then gently passed across the skin to create precise micro-channels, encouraging natural healing and cell turnover.

Your skin may appear pink or flushed post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn, with possible light peeling over the next 2–4 days. Most clients notice smoother, brighter skin within a week, with full collagen benefits continuing over 4–6 weeks.

What it treats:

Fine lines & wrinkles
Acne scarring
Neck lines, or "tech neck"
Uneven skin texture
Preventative skincare treatment

The regenerative ladder:

Foundation — SkinPen.
The core treatment. Collagen induction on its own is a legitimately effective protocol, and for many clients it's exactly enough.
Repair — SkinPen + PDRN.
The microchannels we create are also a delivery system. PDRN (polynucleotides) supports the repair process itself — a fit for skin that's inflamed, compromised, or slow to bounce back.
Regeneration — SkinPen + Exosomes.
The most advanced tier. Exosomes are signaling messengers that amplify the regenerative response — for clients who want the strongest version of this treatment.

FAQ:

Does it hurt?

With numbing cream, most clients rate it a 2–3 out of 10 — more strange than painful. Certain areas (forehead, around the nose) are more sensitive.

How is SkinPen different from at-home rollers?

Depth, sterility, and control. Home rollers work at depths that mostly can't reach where collagen is built — and drag needles sideways through skin rather than stamping vertically. Professional microneedling isn't the same treatment at a higher price; it's a different treatment.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes — and it's often the preferred collagen-building option for deeper Fitzpatrick types because there's no heat involved, which is where most pigment risk comes from. I've treated the full Fitzpatrick range for 7+ years.

How many sessions will I need?

For general skin quality: often 3. For acne scarring: usually 4–6. You'll get an honest number at your consultation, and we reassess as we go.

When will I see results?

A short-term glow within the first week; real structural change from week 4 onward, continuing to improve for up to 3–6 months after your series.

Can I combine it with my other treatments?

Yes — microneedling stacks well into a broader plan (peels, facials, home care), with proper spacing. That sequencing is part of what we map out in your Skin Reading.
