What is it?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer skin. This clinically proven treatment is effective for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, brown spots and acne scars.

The FDA-cleared SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the first microneedling device clinically shown to safely reduce facial acne scars and neck wrinkles in patients aged 22 and up. With just three non-invasive treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can enjoy long-lasting results, with smoother, brighter skin for up to six months. Microneedling is appropriate for all skin types and offers minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin from the inside out.

What to expect

During a microneedling treatment, you can expect a minimally invasive procedure where tiny, fine needles are used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, promoting smoother, firmer skin.

Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort. Most patients report feeling only mild pressure or a slight prickling sensation during the treatment. The procedure typically takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Afterward, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day. No downtime is required, and you can resume your normal activities shortly after.
