What is Microneedling & how does it work?

Microneedling treatment supplies including the SkinPen Precision Elite device, serums, and sterile tools at Carla Thomas Med Spa in La Grange, IL.

Using the SkinPen®, microneedling encourages collagen production using a device with multiple sterile needles that puncture the skin. This treatment creates “microchannels” to boost collagen in the treated area. It will help smooth, firm, & tone skin. Microneedling is proven to help with:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles – Stimulates collagen and elastin to soften lines and firm the skin – without heat or chemicals

  • Acne scars and other types of scarring – FDA-cleared for acne scars; smooths out uneven texture

  • Uneven skin texture and large pores – Refines skin and minimizes the look of pores

  • Sun damage and pigmentation – Helps fade sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven tone

  • Dull or dehydrated skin – Boosts glow and improves moisture retention

  • Preventative aging – Maintains collagen production to slow signs of aging

What to Expect During A Microneedling Treatment:

Each microneedling session begins with a brief consultation to review the patient’s skin goals and treatment areas. A medical-grade numbing cream is applied to the face and neck for comfort. During the 30-minute numbing phase, the provider will determine whether to use SkinPen’s hydrating gel or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for added benefits. If PRP is chosen, it’s drawn and prepared at this time. Once the skin is numb, the treatment begins and takes about 45 minutes to complete. Afterward, skin may appear pink or flushed—similar to a mild sunburn—which typically fades within 24 to 72 hours.

Standard SkinPen Microneedling Session (Face & Neck) $400
