For suitable individuals, SkinPen® microneedling may address the appearance of surface texture, mild acne or surgical scars and visible enlarged pores. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Comfort levels differ between people. Topical numbing cream and/or cooling measures may be used, where appropriate, to help reduce discomfort.
Downtime varies with skin type and treatment intensity. Your practitioner will advise what to expect for your specific plan.
The timing and extent of any visible change are individual and cannot be promised.
The number of sessions depends on your skin, concerns and how you respond. Many plans involve a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by review. Your practitioner will discuss an individual course, but specific outcomes or an exact number of treatments cannot be guaranteed.
Common effects include redness, swelling, tightness and discomfort. Less common risks include infection, prolonged redness, persistent pigment change or scarring. Your practitioner will explain these and any precautions relevant to your medical history and skin type before you decide whether to proceed.
You will be advised to keep the skin clean, avoid makeup and heat for a period, use gentle skincare, and apply SPF 50+ during the day. Your practitioner will give you specific written instructions and advise when you can safely resume regular products and activities.
In some cases, SkinPen® microneedling may be combined with other treatments, such as LED, as part of a broader plan. Any combination is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and timing is planned to support safety and recovery.
Microneedling is generally not recommended over areas of active infection, open wounds, uncontrolled acne, certain skin diseases, keloid-prone scars, or in some medical conditions. Pregnancy, medications and other factors may also affect suitability. Your practitioner will assess whether this treatment is appropriate for you and may recommend no treatment or referral to another health professional where indicated.
All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
