By Maren Stratte, and Andrew Copeland MD

In the quest for flawless and youthful-looking skin, there are countless treatments and procedures available today. One such innovation that has taken the beauty world by storm is SkinPen Microneedling. The newest service available at Renew Skin Solutions, this minimally invasive procedure has gained popularity for its ability to rejuvenate the skin and improve its texture, leaving you with a radiant and youthful complexion. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of SkinPen Microneedling, exploring what it is, how it works, and its many benefits.


What is SkinPen Microneedling?


SkinPen Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the body's natural collagen production. This treatment involves the use of a specialized device called a microneedling pen that creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process, leading to the production of collagen and elastin – the proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness.


How Does it Work?

The SkinPen Microneedling procedure is typically performed by a trained skincare professional. Here's how it works:


Cleansing: Before the treatment begins, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped to ensure it's free of makeup, oils, and dirt.


Numbing: A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. This ensures that the procedure is relatively painless.


Microneedling: The microneedling pen is then gently moved over the skin's surface. The pen contains fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures are virtually invisible to the naked eye.


Healing Response: As the skin heals, it starts producing collagen and elastin, which help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.


Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, skincare professionals often recommend specific post-treatment skincare products to promote healing and enhance results.


Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

Improved Skin Texture: SkinPen Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother and more youthful texture.


Reduced Hyperpigmentation: This treatment can also help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.



Natural-Looking Results: Since SkinPen Microneedling stimulates the body's natural collagen production, the results are gradual and look very natural.


Minimal Downtime: Compared to more invasive procedures, microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience some redness and mild swelling for a day or two, but these side effects are usually short-lived.


Suitable for All Skin Types: SkinPen Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile treatment option.



SkinPen Microneedling has revolutionized the beauty industry with its ability to enhance skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and improve overall skin appearance. This minimally invasive procedure offers a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion. If you're looking for a non-surgical solution to address skin concerns, SkinPen Microneedling may be the perfect option to consider. Always consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine if this treatment is suitable for your individual skin needs and goals.
