Boost collagen production
and revitalize your skin
SkinPen microneedling is a precise, FDA-cleared treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and overall skin texture. Unlike harsh lasers or chemicals, SkinPen works with your body—no heat, no downtime, just effective results. At The Acacia House, we use SkinPen to deliver noticeable outcomes that look natural and feel like you.
SkinPen microneedling treats:
- Acne scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Mild skin laxity and crepey areas
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Stretch marks on the body
- Rough patches and dry surface buildup
How does SkinPen microneedling work?
SkinPen creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing process, signaling skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin—proteins that keep your skin smooth, firm, and youthful.
Think of it as a wake-up call for your skin to regenerate from within. As the skin repairs itself, texture improves, scars soften, and fine lines fade. It’s a safe, natural way to refresh your skin.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling:
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness
- Softens the appearance of acne scars and fine lines
- Safe for all skin tones and types
- Minimal downtime with quick recovery
- No heat or harsh chemicals involved
- Enhances absorption of topical serums and treatments
Catalyze the results of SkinPen microneedling
While SkinPen microneedling delivers impressive results, pairing it with regenerative boosters can significantly enhance your skin’s response. At The Acacia House, we offer two powerful add-ons—PRP and exosomes—that work with your body to speed up healing.
SkinPen microneedling + PRP
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is drawn from your own blood and spun to isolate growth factors that promote healing. When applied immediately after microneedling, PRP penetrates deep into the microchannels created by SkinPen. These growth factors supercharge your skin’s natural repair process, accelerating collagen production and improving tone, texture, and overall radiance. It’s your body’s own healing power—amplified.
SkinPen microneedling + exosomes
Exosomes are tiny messengers derived from stem cells that carry powerful proteins, lipids, and genetic material to skin cells. When used after microneedling, exosomes deliver advanced signaling molecules into the skin, telling it to regenerate more efficiently. This enhances results by boosting collagen, reducing inflammation, and speeding recovery time. The result: healthier, stronger, more youthful-looking skin—faster.
Your complete SkinPen microneedling experience
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thoughtful, personalized consultation. We take the time to listen to your goals, examine your skin, and determine if SkinPen microneedling is the right fit. We’ll also explore if PRP or exosomes might elevate your results. Every detail is considered to create a plan that supports your skin’s long-term health—not just short-term improvements.
Treatment
During microneedling, we apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Once your skin is prepped, your provider will gently glide the SkinPen device across targeted areas. The treatment takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the area. If you’ve opted to add PRP or exosomes, they’ll be applied immediately after while your skin is most receptive.
Recovery
After your session, you may look and feel a bit sunburned—that’s totally normal. Most redness fades within 24-48 hours. You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions to support healing, including what to avoid and how to protect your skin. We recommend skipping makeup, heat, and intense workouts for a couple of days, but normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Results
You’ll begin to notice a radiant glow within a few days, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen builds beneath the surface. For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of treatments spaced about four weeks apart. Over time, you’ll notice smoother texture, softened scars, and skin that looks—and feels—healthier, fresher, and more vibrant.
SkinPen microneedling FAQs
Does SkinPen microneedling hurt?
Most people find it very tolerable. We apply a strong numbing cream beforehand, so you’ll mainly feel light pressure or a slight vibration.
How long does the treatment take?
About 45-60 minutes total, including numbing time. The actual microneedling portion takes around 30 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on your skin goals. Acne scars or deeper concerns may need 3–6 treatments, while general rejuvenation may only need 1-3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Can SkinPen be used on other areas besides the face?
Yes! It’s great for the neck, chest, hands, and even stretch marks on the body.
Is SkinPen microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Absolutely. SkinPen is FDA-cleared and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, with no risk of heat-related pigmentation on darker skin tones.
