What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic dermatology procedure that uses a microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries in the dermis. SkinPen works by stimulating the body’s natural healing capabilities and promoting collagen and elastin production.2 The SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is highly regarded for its safety and efficacy in treating various skin concerns.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling triggers your skin’s natural healing process, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity over time. It’s suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an ideal treatment option for many patients across New York City.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling treatments offer numerous anti-aging and corrective benefits. At 740 Park Beauty & Hair Restoration, we commonly use SkinPen to treat the following skin conditions:
- Acne scars and stretch marks
- Fine lines and signs of aging
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Mild skin laxity
Thanks to increased collagen production, elastin formation, and natural skin tightening effects, the skin appears firmer, smoother, and more youthful with each SkinPen treatment session. The results of microneedling work best when combined with medical-grade skincare and other treatments such as Botox®, fillers, or chemical peels.
Candidates for SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen is a versatile treatment ideal for a wide range of concerns, safe for all skin tones and types. You may be a good candidate if you’re seeking a noninvasive way to improve the appearance and texture of your skin with minimal downtime.
Ideal candidates typically include individuals who:
- Have fine lines or mild wrinkles
- Experience acne scars or other textural irregularities
- Have enlarged pores or uneven skin tone
- Have early signs of aging and want to maintain youthful skin
During your consultation at 740 Park Plastic Surgery, we’ll assess your skin’s condition and discuss your goals to determine if SkinPen microneedling is right for you.
What to Expect During the SkinPen Procedure
Before your microneedling procedure, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The SkinPen device is then gently glided over the treatment area, creating thousands of tiny punctures that activate collagen and elastin production. Depending on your skin concerns and treatment plan, topical growth factors may be added to enhance results. Each treatment session typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
Microneedling Healing & Post-Treatment Care
Following microneedling, you may experience redness, slight swelling, and a mild sensation similar to a sunburn. These side effects typically subside within 24 to 72 hours. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, excessive sweating, and applying only approved topical skincare during the post-treatment phase.
While some improvement may be visible within a week, full skin rejuvenation unfolds over several weeks as new collagen and elastin remodel the dermis. Most patients see the best results after a series of three to six treatment sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart.

FAQs About SkinPen Microneedling
Can I combine SkinPen microneedling with any other treatments?
Yes, microneedling works synergistically with chemical peels, Botox, and dermal fillers. Our specialists will recommend a tailored combination to optimize results based on your skin tone, texture, and skincare goals.
How much does SkinPen microneedling cost?
Microneedling costs vary depending on the treatment area, the number of follow-up sessions needed, and optional add-ons. During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent breakdown and discuss financing options with you.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types, including darker tones.3 It minimizes the risk of pigmentation issues often associated with other treatments.
How long is the downtime after microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling involves minimal downtime. Most clients resume regular activities within 24 hours, making it an ideal treatment for those with busy NYC lifestyles.
Is SkinPen better than Morpheus8®?
SkinPen and Morpheus8 are both dermatologist-recommended skin rejuvenation treatments that serve different purposes. SkinPen uses precision microneedling to stimulate natural collagen production, making it an ideal choice for skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Morpheus8 is an RF microneedling device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for deeper skin tightening and remodeling. The best option depends on your skin concerns—SkinPen is great for improving texture and tone, while Morpheus8 may be better for advanced skin laxity.
