What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device for facial acne scars designed to safely create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger your body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production over time.

Unlike cosmetic microneedling tools, SkinPen is:

  • Medical-grade
  • Clinically studied
  • Suitable for many skin types. Your consultation confirms if SkinPen is right for you.
  • Performed under medical protocols

This makes it ideal for patients seeking long-term skin improvement rather than temporary surface results.

What Does SkinPen Treat?

SkinPen microneedling is effective for:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

Results improve gradually as collagen rebuilds beneath the surface.

Nurse Injector-Led Microneedling at MYBFF Med Spa + Social

At MYBFF Med Spa + Social, microneedling is treated as a medical skin treatment — not a spa facial.

Your SkinPen treatment is:

  • Performed by licensed nurse injectors
  • Customized based on your skin condition and goals
  • Delivered using medical safety standards
  • Focused on long-term skin health

What to Expect During Treatment

A SkinPen session typically takes 30–45 minutes.

Treatment steps include:

  • Skin cleansing and preparation
  • Application of topical numbing for comfort
  • Controlled microneedling with SkinPen
  • Application of calming, restorative products

Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable with minimal discomfort.

SkinPen with PRP or PRF

For enhanced results, SkinPen microneedling can be combined with PRP or PRF, which uses your own platelets to support healing and skin renewal. Your provider will tell you whether adding PRP or PRF makes sense for your skin goals. Learn more about our PRP/PRF facial or read how microneedling compares to a PRP facial.

Downtime & Recovery

Downtime is minimal and manageable.

  • Day 1: Redness similar to a sunburn
  • Days 2–3: Redness fades; skin may feel dry or tight
  • Days 4–7: Skin appears calmer and smoother

Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

See our full day-by-day recovery timeline.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For best results, most patients need:

  • 3–6 treatments
  • Spaced 4–6 weeks apart

Collagen remodeling continues for weeks after each session, with results building over time.

SkinPen vs. Other Skin Treatments

  • SkinPen Microneedling: Improves texture, scars, and collagen production
  • Hydrafacial: Provides instant glow, hydration, and pore cleansing

Many patients alternate SkinPen treatments with Hydrafacial to support healing and maintain skin quality.

Is SkinPen Safe?

Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared and considered very safe when performed by trained medical professionals.

Possible side effects include:

  • Temporary redness
  • Mild swelling
  • Dryness or flaking

Serious complications are rare, especially in a nurse injector-led setting.
