SkinPen, collagen induction done right.

SkinPen is the only FDA-cleared collagen induction device on the market. It creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin that trigger collagen and elastin production, addressing scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall texture over a series of sessions.

How it works

Controlled Injury, Real Repair.

The device's needle cartridge creates hundreds of microscopic punctures in the skin per second, calibrated to depth (0.25mm to 2.5mm) based on the area and concern being treated. The body interprets these as injury and responds by producing new collagen and elastin to repair the area.

Treatment takes 45 minutes including topical numbing. You'll feel a slight scratchy sensation across the skin during the pass. Most clients describe it as tolerable.

Initial redness and minor pinpoint bleeding subside within hours. Visible improvement starts at one to two weeks. The bigger gains, texture refinement, scar softening, fine line reduction, build over three to six months as new collagen integrates.

What to expect
1
Consultation
BEFORE

Your provider assesses your skin and goals. Pre-care matters: no retinol for five to seven days, no sun exposure for one week, and no other active treatments in the area. We review the recovery window so you can plan accordingly.

2
Treatment
DURING

Topical numbing for thirty minutes before treatment. The SkinPen device creates precise, controlled micro-channels in the skin to trigger your body's collagen response. Sessions run thirty to sixty minutes including numbing.

3
Recovery
DAYS 1-5

Day 1: redness like a moderate sunburn. Day 2-3: mild peeling and tightness as the micro-channels close. Day 3-5: tone evens out and texture starts to refine. Mineral makeup can be worn after twenty-four hours. SPF every day.

4
Results
WEEKS 4-12

Collagen response builds over four to twelve weeks. Texture refines, scars soften, pores tighten, tone evens. Most clients see meaningful change after the first session and refined results after the full series.

5
Series
SESSIONS 3-6

Most clients see best results from a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The number depends on what you're treating: acne scarring needs more sessions than general texture refinement. Annual maintenance keeps the result.

Our Approach to

SkinPen

"

SkinPen and microneedling show up in almost every plan I build. The collagen response is real, the recovery is short, and the result compounds across a series. I tell clients to commit to the series. That's where the change earns the cost.

Principles of Care

Foundation First

The best laser, filler, or injectable results sit on healthy skin. These treatments build the foundation everything else stands on.

Cumulative Effect

One facial is a refresh. A series is a transformation. We design treatment cadence around the texture, tone, and barrier changes that compound over time.

Calibrated To Skin

Same treatment, different protocols. We adjust depth, acid concentration, and serum selection based on your barrier, sensitivity, and concerns.

The Quiet Workhorse

These treatments rarely get the credit. They do most of the work between bigger appointments and often produce the changes clients notice most.

THE QUESTION WE GET MOST OFTEN

"

How does SkinPen actually work?

"

SkinPen creates thousands of precise, controlled micro-channels in the skin using a medical-grade collagen induction device. Your body responds by producing collagen and elastin to heal the micro-channels. The result is firmer, smoother, more even skin over the following weeks. It's most commonly used for fine lines, acne scarring, stretch marks, and general texture refinement.

I was truly blown away after my appointment here. Every single person I interacted with, from the front desk to the providers who handled my treatments, was incredible! They made me feel so welcomed and cared for, and were both informative and genuinely kind. The space itself is spotless, cozy, and easily the most inviting place I’ve ever been for Botox. Michelle did my Botox and she was amazing! I also had a hydrafacial and dermaplaning, and I already can’t wait to come back again and again.You will not regret booking here!
