SkinPen®

SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, making it a trusted and clinically proven option for skin rejuvenation. Treatments are performed using sterile, single-use needle cartridges to ensure the highest standards of safety and precision.

SkinPen® creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production to help reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.

Over the weeks following treatment, your body naturally produces new collagen and elastin, resulting in gradual improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.

What To Expect

  • BEFORE TREATMENT

    Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation to review your skin concerns and treatment goals. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to maximize your comfort before the procedure begins.

  • DURING TREATMENT

    Using the FDA-cleared SkinPen®, your provider will create thousands of precise microchannels in the skin to stimulate your body's natural collagen and elastin production. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable, and a full-face session typically takes about 60 minutes, including numbing time.

  • AFTER TREATMENT

    After your treatment, your provider will review your personalized aftercare instructions and answer any questions to help ensure the best possible healing and results. Your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically improves within 24 to 48 hours. As your skin naturally produces new collagen and elastin, you'll notice gradual improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance over the following weeks.Results build gradually with each session as your skin renews itself over time.

Results

At PureVida, every SkinPen® treatment plan is personalized to your unique skin concerns, goals, and desired results. While many patients notice brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin after just one session, a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart, is often recommended for the most noticeable and long-lasting improvements.

Collagen remodeling continues for several weeks after each treatment, allowing your skin to gradually become smoother, firmer, and more radiant with natural-looking results.

Although SkinPen® microneedling does not permanently stop the aging process, your results can be maintained with a personalized skincare routine, daily sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments recommended by your provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your comfort is one of our top priorities. Before your treatment begins, we apply a topical numbing cream to help ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible. Most patients find microneedling to be very tolerable, describing the sensation as light pressure or a gentle tingling feeling rather than pain.

    Some areas of the face may be a little more sensitive than others, but any discomfort is typically brief. After your treatment, your skin may feel warm or slightly tight, similar to a mild sunburn, and this usually fades over the next 24 to 48 hours. Our team will guide you through every step of the process and make sure you're comfortable throughout your treatment.

  • A typical appointment lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, including consultation, numbing time, treatment, and post-treatment instructions.

  • Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week. Because collagen takes time to rebuild, the most significant improvements develop gradually over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

  • While many patients notice improvement after one session, most achieve the best results with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will create a treatment plan based on your skin concerns and goals.

  • We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to allow your skin to heal properly and reduce the risk of irritation.

  • For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid:

    • Direct sun exposure

    • Heavy exercise

    • Hot tubs and saunas

    • Swimming pools
