SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device used to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to rejuvenate the skin, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and large pores. It’s FDA-cleared and considered one of the safest and most effective microneedling treatments available.
How SkinPen Works
SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, sterile needles.
These tiny punctures trigger the skin’s natural healing response, boosting:
Collagen (for firmness)
Elastin (for bounce and elasticity)
This process is known as collagen induction therapy.
