Texture changes, enlarged pores, or uneven tone can make your skin look less smooth than you would like. SkinPen microneedling in Short Hills, New Jersey, offers a medical-grade way to stimulate collagen and refresh the skin without disrupting your routine.
Alyssa, our medical aesthetician, performs SkinPen treatments at our medspa to improve clarity, refine texture, and support healthier skin over time. SkinPen remains one of the most reliable skin rejuvenation tools for controlled renewal.
Whether you want to soften fine lines, brighten dullness, or smooth old acne marks, SkinPen microneedling provides a flexible path toward fresher-looking skin.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the United States. It uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges to create controlled micro-injuries across the skin’s surface. These tiny channels stimulate your natural wound-healing process, encouraging the development of new collagen and elastin.
The device allows Alyssa to customize the depth and speed of treatment based on your skin’s needs, making it suitable for everything from delicate areas to thicker, more textured zones.
What SkinPen Helps Improve
SkinPen microneedling is commonly used to support improvements in:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Acne scarring and surface irregularities
- Enlarged pores
- Rough or uneven texture
- Mild laxity
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Stretch marks (select areas)
This makes it valuable both as a corrective treatment and as ongoing skin maintenance.
SkinPen Microneedling Options
Standard SkinPen Microneedling
This is the core treatment, ideal for overall texture refinement and collagen support. It helps smooth the appearance of fine lines, brighten tone, and create a more even surface.
Microneedling with PRP
For individuals who want added radiance and faster visible improvement, SkinPen can be paired with platelet-rich plasma. PRP is applied immediately after microneedling so growth factors can be absorbed through the microchannels, supporting healing and enhancing tone.
Microinfusion
Microinfusion delivers micro-doses of customized ingredients just beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike traditional SkinPen microneedling, microinfusion focuses on improving the skin’s immediate look and feel with the use of injectables.
Your SkinPen Treatment Experience
Alyssa begins with a thorough cleanse and applies a topical numbing ointment for comfort. The SkinPen device is then passed across the skin in smooth, consistent motions to create microchannels. Depending on your treatment plan, PRP or corrective serums may be applied immediately afterward.
Most appointments take 30–45 minutes, making SkinPen an easy treatment to schedule around a busy day.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Mild redness for 24–48 hours
- Light flaking as the skin renews
- Resume most activities the following day
- Avoid strenuous exercise briefly
- Use gentle moisturizers and sunscreen
- Makeup can typically be worn after 24 hours
Alyssa will recommend products that complement the healing process and protect your results.
SkinPen Results
Many people notice a renewed glow within days and continued improvement over the following weeks. Collagen building is gradual, so optimal results appear more fully after a series of treatments. Most plans involve 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
For individuals with deeper texture concerns, pairing SkinPen with PRP often accelerates visible changes.
