What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling is a clinically proven, safe, and effective method to enhance your skin’s natural beauty. Using ultra-fine needles, it creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s innate healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins that support the skin’s structure, elasticity, and firmness.

Unlike more invasive procedures, SkinPen works gently and precisely. Over a series of sessions, you’ll notice improvement in fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, and overall skin texture. The treatment is suitable for nearly all skin types and can be customized for your unique concerns, whether on the face, neck, or décolletage.

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

The benefits of microneedling extend beyond skin-deep rejuvenation. With consistent treatments, SkinPen can help:

  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Minimize acne scars and other surface imperfections.
  • Improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
  • Enhance absorption of serums and skincare products.
  • Support long-term collagen remodeling for lasting results.
  • Promote overall skin health and vitality.

The beauty of SkinPen is its natural approach: your body is doing the work. The results feel authentic, never “done.”

I had the BEST experience at Novella! The interior is absolutely to die for, and the staff is so welcoming and attentive. As soon as you enter, you feel pampered and relaxed. I had a facial from Bri, who was fantastic! She helped clear an acne spot and truly gave me a glow. She was extremely specific with my skin type and gave the best recommendations for next steps/skin care at home. The best facial ever. I will be making this a regular thing now. I love Novella!

Casey gives the most amazing facials. She takes the time to make sure all my skincare goals are discussed and addressed. She always gives the best advice when it comes to products, talking through my options to ensure I am using the best things specific to my skin. I was so excited to see Casey will be at this beautiful new med spa! If you don't have a facialist at Novella, I cannot recommend Casey enough!

I’ve experienced Novella on four separate occasions -- at an event, an injection consultation, over the phone, and for a wellness appointment. I felt welcomed, safe, and cared for each time. It’s quite the drive (45 mins), but definitely worth it because the ambiance is a sight to see and experience.

Absolutely an AMAZING team, experience, and location! This post is specifically about my experience with Casey and Allie. Casey got me started on my monthly facials, and I am completely addicted to how my skin feels and looks for days after! It’s an experience I look forward to every month, my time to be alone, to relax, and to be pampered. Casey is so cool, and her hands are MAGIC! I had a consult with Allie about fillers the same day I had my facial (just yesterday, see my photo for facial and filler details), and I felt so comfortable with her that I was willing and able to do the service that same day! She walked me through the process, held my hand, and gave me her number after, letting me know to contact her if I had any questions or concerns. She was so sweet and did a great job! Honestly, I could go on and on about the entire team here: Allison, the CEO, def knows what she’s doing when it comes to branding, experience, services, and staffing. I am so happy with the results! Thank you for everything, Novella!!!

I met with Allie for a consultation, and my experience from the moment I walked into Novella was EXCEPTIONAL. I got a tour of the spa, and everyone explained the process.

Novella offers me a peaceful, relaxing escape from the busyness of everyday life. I'd never had a facial prior to Novella that hadn't left my skin in shambles & broken out. You can tell that Novella took the time to find the ~best of the best~ aestheticians & injectors. I saw Casey for my facial & I saw Allie for my injections. I could not recommend Novella & their services more!!!

The level of luxury I experienced at Novella was unreal, as someone who’s suffered with rosacea for years, I’ve always avoided facials because I usually leave flared up and frustrated. The magic that was worked on my face had me leaving with skin that was more calm and even-toned than I’d seen in years. Everyone was so wonderful and welcoming, and I truly felt like an absolute VIP the entire time there, even though I literally just got a facial. They also recommended two products (not a hard-to-follow wild skin care routine that I will never use) to help recreate the calmness in my skin that I saw during my facial. My esthetician shared that she also struggles with rosacea, so I knew I was right at home. I drive 40 minutes to come here because there’s nothing else like it. From experience to treatment, it’s truly exceptional.

I've had May 17th on my calendar like it's Christmas Day. I almost made an Advent calendar for myself, that's how excited I am for Novella Form & Facial to open. I've been a Patient of Allie's for 6 years and trust her implicitly. She has assembled an amazing team with the same knowledge and skills she possesses, and I love seeing Bri, Casey, and Taylor as well! One specific note on my latest procedure, I had Pixel8 and Erbium combo. For someone like me who sees Patients daily and cannot afford any downtime, this one is a game-changer!! Sunburned, look after the procedure and back in meetings the next morning. Pic is only 24 hrs after Pixel8 laser combo!! I love microneedling, but I've found my new skin care maintenance/routine!

What to Expect During a SkinPen Session

A typical SkinPen session lasts about 60 minutes, including preparation, treatment, and post-care guidance. Here is what to expect:

  • Preparation: Your provider cleanses your skin and applies a topical numbing cream for comfort.
  • Microneedling: The SkinPen device is used to create precise micro-channels across the treatment area. This stimulates collagen production and enhances the penetration of nourishing serums.
  • Post-Treatment Care: A soothing serum and protective ointment are applied to support healing. Your provider will review home-care recommendations, including hydration, sun protection, and gentle skincare routines.

Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or tingling. Redness and slight swelling may occur for 24–48 hours but typically resolve quickly.

SkinPen® Microneedling

FAQ's 

How is SkinPen microneedling different from at-home microneedling devices?

SkinPen is a medical-grade device performed by trained professionals, offering greater precision, safety, and depth control than at-home rollers. This allows for more consistent results and significantly reduces the risk of skin damage or infection.

Can SkinPen microneedling be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, SkinPen microneedling is often combined with treatments like chemical peels, or advanced facials to enhance overall results. Your provider will recommend the best combination based on your goals.

How soon will I see visible improvements after a SkinPen treatment?

While some patients notice a subtle glow within days, more noticeable improvements typically appear within a few weeks as collagen production increases and the skin continues to heal and regenerate.

Is SkinPen microneedling safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, SkinPen can be safely adjusted for sensitive skin types. The treatment depth and technique are customized to minimize irritation while still delivering effective rejuvenation.

Can SkinPen help with hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone?

SkinPen microneedling can help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone by promoting cell turnover and collagen production, which gradually leads to a more balanced and radiant complexion.

What areas of the body can be treated with SkinPen?

In addition to the face, SkinPen can be used on areas such as the neck, chest, hands, and even certain areas of the body where scarring or texture concerns are present.

Is there a best time of year to get SkinPen microneedling?

SkinPen can be performed year-round, but many patients prefer fall and winter when sun exposure is typically lower, helping to protect the skin during the healing phase.

Will I need to change my skincare routine after treatment?

Yes, your provider may recommend temporarily avoiding active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliants and focusing on gentle, hydrating products to support healing and optimize results.

How long do the results of SkinPen microneedling last?

Results can last several months to a year depending on your skin condition, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Maintenance treatments can help prolong and enhance your results.

Is there anyone who should avoid SkinPen microneedling?

Individuals with active skin infections, certain chronic skin conditions, or those who are pregnant may need to postpone treatment. A consultation will determine if SkinPen is appropriate for you.
