appointment prep
Arrive with clean skin. Avoid sun exposure/burns and discontinue use of retinoids 24+ hours prior to treatment. If you've been on Accutane, you must wait 6 months after discontinuing use before scheduling a microneedling treatment.
SKIN CONSULTATIONS
If you’re unsure which treatment is right for your skin, we recommend starting with an advanced skin analysis and consultation.
Using advanced imaging technology, we assess what’s happening both on the surface of your skin and below it. This allows us to evaluate hydration, texture, tone, elasticity, congestion patterns, pigment, and early changes that aren’t visible in regular lighting.
During your visit, you’ll review your images and results directly with one of our licensed providers.
You can use this information to guide your home skincare routine, track progress over time, or decide whether in-office treatments make sense for your goals.
FAQ
SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses sterile microneedles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, scars, and fine lines.
SkinPen improves acne scarring, fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality.
Microneedling glides are medical grade sterile solutions applied to the skin during a microneedling treatment.
Their first purpose is practical. They allow the device to move smoothly and evenly across the skin, ensuring consistent depth and controlled technique. This supports safety, comfort, and precision.
Beyond that, certain glides contain active ingredients to enhance results and are infused into the skin through microchannels as they are created. Depending on the formula, a glide may focus on hydration, calming support, or regenerative growth factors.
In short, the glide is not just lubrication. It is part of how we customize your treatment and enhance your results.
The Standard Glide is a sterile, medical-grade solution used during microneedling to allow the SkinPen device to move smoothly and evenly across the skin.
It does not contain added regenerative ingredients like growth factors or PRP. Its purpose is to support comfort, precision, and safe device movement while focusing purely on collagen stimulation from the microneedling itself.
This is a great option for patients who want the core benefits of SkinPen without additional enhancements.
Ariessence PDGF+ is an FDA-cleared, bioidentical platelet-derived growth factor used to support skin repair and regeneration. It delivers a standardized concentration of growth factor that helps signal your skin to produce collagen and support healing.
Unlike PRP, which is drawn from your own blood and can vary from person to person, Ariessence is lab-purified and consistent. It is often chosen by patients who want enhanced regenerative support and predictable dosing during microneedling.
VAMP is a sterile regenerative glide used during microneedling that contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and PDRN.
It is designed to support hydration, calm inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier while microneedling is being performed. Patients often choose VAMP when they want collagen stimulation plus added hydration and recovery support.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is prepared from your own blood during your appointment.
After your blood is drawn, it is processed to concentrate the platelets, which contain natural growth factors. During microneedling, PRP is used as the glide so those growth factors are delivered directly into the skin as the micro-channels are created.
PRP is often chosen by patients who prefer a regenerative approach using their own biologic material to support healing and collagen production.
That’s completely okay. Most patients are not expected to know which glide is right for them.
We recommend scheduling a Skin Analysis + Consultation so we can assess your skin, review your goals, and guide you toward the most appropriate option. Your skin condition, sensitivity level, healing capacity, and long-term goals all factor into that decision. We’ll walk you through it in a way that makes sense.
If you prefer to book now and decide later, we can also finalize your glide choice at your appointment after evaluating your skin in person.
Most patients experience redness for 24–72 hours with minimal downtime.
Microneedling may not be appropriate for pregnancy, active infections, certain autoimmune conditions, or impaired healing.
SkinPen microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production with precision and intention. By creating controlled microchannels in the skin, SkinPen activates your body’s own repair process to improve texture, soften fine lines, and reduce the appearance of acne scars.

How it works
The beautiful thing about our bodies is that they have natural processes that react to injury by producing new cells and extracellular materials, like elastin and collagen, to heal. SkinPen® initiates this natural process with a finely-tuned Microneedling pen by creating hundreds of temporary micro-sized openings in your skin. These small openings are created with the SkinPen®’s disposable needle cartridge, which achieves results without thermal energy or chemicals applied to the skin.
While multiple sessions are typically recommended to achieve optimal results depending on your specific goals, noticeable changes can be seen just one week after treatment and gradually improve as the body’s healing process begins to take effect. Side effects are similar to a mild sunburn, such as redness, tenderness, and some swelling.
WHO IS IT FOR?
SkinPen Microneedling is safe for all skin types and promotes healing to address acne scars, texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. It can also be used to decrease the appearance of stretch marks. It's a fast and safe method that initiates the production of collagen and elastin in your skin.
Microneedling Treatments
Every SkinPen appointment begins with a thorough cleanse and topical numbing to keep you comfortable. Your provider then customizes needle depth and technique based on your skin goals and treatment area. After microneedling, we apply a calming mask and targeted post-treatment care to support recovery.
During the procedure, we use a sterile glide. A glide is the serum applied while the SkinPen device moves across the skin. It allows the device to pass smoothly and evenly, while also delivering beneficial ingredients directly into the micro-channels being created. The type of glide you choose can enhance hydration, support healing, and provide advanced regenerative benefits.
If you are new to our practice, please select the Skin Analysis + Consultation when booking. This allows us to assess your skin, review medical history, and guide you toward the safest and most effective option.
