Refresh and Renew Your Skin With SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen is the gold standard in professional microneedling, backed by clinical evidence and trusted by providers for its consistent, reliable results.

At Bella Aesthetica Medical Spa, SkinPen microneedling is one of our most effective and accessible treatments for improving skin quality at every stage. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen has a well-established clinical track record for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, minimizing acne scarring, and elevating overall skin health. The treatment works by creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin that activate the body's natural wound-healing and collagen-building response, producing progressively better skin with each session in a series. It is safe for all skin tones and appropriate for a wide range of concerns.

How It Works

How SkinPen Stimulates Your Skin's Natural Renewal

SkinPen uses a sterile cartridge of fine needles that oscillate rapidly to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries across the skin's surface at a precise, adjustable depth. These micro-channels trigger the skin's natural healing cascade, including the release of growth factors and the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the treated area. As the skin repairs and remodels itself over the following weeks, texture becomes smoother, scars become less visible, pores appear smaller, and the overall quality and firmness of the skin improves. Because SkinPen uses only mechanical stimulation without heat, it is appropriate for all skin tones and has an excellent safety profile.

Step 01

A consultation to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine the appropriate needle depth and treatment protocol for your session.

Step 01

Topical numbing cream is applied and allowed to take full effect to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Step 01

The SkinPen handpiece is moved across the treatment area in a systematic pattern, creating controlled micro-channels at the targeted depth.

Step 01

A soothing serum or growth factor is applied to the treated skin immediately after, and aftercare instructions are reviewed before you leave.

Aftercare

Post-Treatment Tips

Following your SkinPen treatment, the skin will appear red and may feel warm and sensitive for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This is a normal and expected part of the healing response. Keeping the skin protected and well-supported during this window will help you achieve the best possible results.

what to do:

Apply only the gentle, hydrating products recommended by your provider for the first few days after your treatment.

Begin applying a broad-spectrum SPF the morning after your treatment and maintain daily sun protection consistently going forward.

Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activity for the first twenty-four hours to support the skin's healing response.

what to avoid:

Avoid retinol, exfoliating acids, and other active skincare ingredients for at least five days following your treatment.

Do not wear makeup for at least twenty-four hours post-treatment to allow the micro-channels to close without interference.

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and excessive heat for at least forty-eight hours following your session.

Before & After Results

FAQ

Any Questions?

Can SkinPen be used on the body?

Yes. SkinPen can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and body to address concerns including stretch marks, scarring, and skin texture in areas beyond the face. Your provider will assess the treatment area and recommend the appropriate protocol.

How many SkinPen sessions will I need?

A series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. The exact number depends on the concern being treated and how your skin responds to treatment.

Is SkinPen microneedling safe for all skin tones?

Yes. Because SkinPen uses only mechanical stimulation without heat, it is safe and effective for all skin tones without the risk of heat-related pigmentation changes that can occur with some energy-based treatments.

Can SkinPen improve the appearance of stretch marks?

Yes. SkinPen microneedling can improve the texture, color, and overall appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production in the affected tissue. A series of treatments produces the best results, with progressive improvement visible over time.

How is the SkinPen treatment performed?

After topical numbing is applied and takes full effect, your provider moves the SkinPen handpiece across the treatment area in a systematic pattern, creating thousands of controlled micro-channels at the targeted depth. A soothing serum is applied immediately afterward.

What is the SkinPen and why is it different from other microneedling devices?

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and has one of the most well-established clinical track records in the industry. It uses a sterile, single-use cartridge and precise needle depth control to create consistent, safe micro-channels that stimulate collagen and elastin production.
