SkinPen Microneedling for Acne Scars, Pores and Texture
If acne scars, enlarged pores, or rough skin texture bother you, SkinPen may help. It is a medical-grade microneedling treatment used on the face to improve skin texture and overall skin quality.
SkinPen Microneedling in Gwinnett County: The Session, the Week After, and the Cost
Improving acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough skin texture takes time, but SkinPen can help your skin look smoother and more even over time. We start with a complimentary skin consultation to understand your concerns and determine whether SkinPen is a good fit. Treatments take 45 to 60 minutes, with topical numbing typically recommended for comfort. For the best results, three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart are typically recommended.
How SkinPen Microneedling Works
SkinPen works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin at a set depth. This triggers the skin’s natural repair response and stimulates collagen production.
Treatment depth is customized based on your concerns and the area being treated. Your provider reviews how your skin responds and adjusts treatment settings throughout your treatment plan as needed.
Unlike RF microneedling, SkinPen does not use heat or radiofrequency energy. Instead, it relies on your skin’s natural collagen response to improve texture and overall skin quality. During your free consultation, we’ll help determine which treatment is the better fit for your goals.
Skin Concerns SkinPen Is Used For
SkinPen is used on the face. Whether it is the right treatment for your concern is confirmed at your free consultation, before anything is booked.
What the First Two Days Look Like.
Straight after treatment, your skin will typically look red and feel warm and tight, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually settles within one to two days. As your skin heals, you may notice a short period of light dryness or flaking.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, activities that cause heavy sweating, and direct sun exposure. You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions at your appointment, including any recommendations specific to your skin.
What a Typical SkinPen Treatment Plan Looks Like
For most concerns, SkinPen is performed as a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. The right treatment plan depends on your goals, skin concerns, and how your skin responds along the way.

SkinPen Microneedling FAQ
A topical numbing cream is typically recommended for comfort and is applied before the session begins. How much you feel varies from person to person and from one area of the face to another. If anything is uncomfortable during the session, say so at the time and your aesthetician will adjust.
Expect redness, warmth and tightness, much like a mild sunburn, for one to two days. After that the skin often goes through a short phase of light dryness or flaking. Plan the appointment with that in mind rather than booking it the day before an event.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, anything that makes you sweat, and direct sun. You are given written aftercare instructions at the appointment. If you are unsure about a particular product or activity, ask before you book rather than afterwards.
SkinPen is usually booked as a course of three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Single sessions are available and are also used for maintenance after a course. What is appropriate for your concern is decided at your consultation rather than assumed in advance.
No. SkinPen creates micro-injuries in the skin with a needle cartridge and nothing else. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy through those same channels, which introduces a thermal step SkinPen does not have. The two are booked for different concerns, and which applies to you is decided at your consultation.
SkinPen is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active acne or a skin infection in the treatment area, with a history of keloid scarring, or within six to twelve months of isotretinoin use. Tell us at your consultation if any of these apply to you, and read the full safety information linked at the foot of this page.
