How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling with SkinPen® uses tiny needles that create channels in the skin. These channels are surrounded by healthy cells that immediately respond with healing and growth factors. 

This controlled damage tells your skin to make more collagen, restoring its resilience and firmness. It also brings vibrant new skin cells to the surface to brighten dullness and erase pigmentation issues. New collagen corrects skin laxity, provides a more even surface, and restores youthful fullness. 

How Long Does Microneedling Last?

Some people may see their desired results after one SkinPen® microneedling session, while others need several. Most people start to see results within a few days, with full results developing over the next few weeks. Your microneedling results can last six months to a year, especially with good skin care. 

Avoiding sun exposure and using sun protection keeps UV light from damaging your developing collagen. Dr. Lawton and her team can recommend a range of medical-grade skincare products that will help your microneedling results last longer. Many people schedule regular microneedling sessions to keep their skin looking youthful.
