Overview of Skin Pen (Dermal Needling)
What is Skin Pen (Dermal Needling)?
Skin Pen (Dermal Needling) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. The process stimulates the body’s natural healing response and encourages the production of new collagen. It can be used to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and other signs of aging.
How does it work?
The tiny needles puncture the skin at a very shallow depth, creating microscopic channels. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, which encourages new cell growth and collagen production. The result is smoother, more youthful looking skin with fewer wrinkles and acne scars.
Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure itself is relatively painless as topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment. Some patients may experience slight discomfort during treatment but this should subside shortly after.

During this time, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your provider to ensure optimal results.
What should I do after the procedure?
Once you have received Skin Pen treatment, it is important to follow your provider’s instructions regarding post-treatment care. This may include avoiding direct sun exposure for up to 48 hours, using a gentle cleanser on the treated area, applying a light moisturizer or hydrating serum, and avoiding strenuous activities for at least 24 hours. Your provider may also recommend using an SPF 30 sunscreen and avoiding makeup for several days after the procedure.
What products should I avoid for a few days?
