SkinPen® Microneedling in Houston, TX

The SkinPen is a revolutionary nonsurgical skin rejuvenation system that allows patients to achieve a smoother, clearer, more youthful-looking complexion without the need for chemicals, heat, stress to the skin, or surgery. With SkinPen microneedling, a handheld device is gently passed over the skin to create microinjuries on the surface layer. This triggers the production of healthy collagen and elastin fibers beneath, leading to a reduction in the appearance of acne scars, neck wrinkles, and other skin concerns. For most patients, a noticeable improvement in the skin becomes apparent after just 1-3 SkinPen microneedling sessions, each of which takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Most healthy adults looking to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance can be considered appropriate candidates for SkinPen microneedling. It's generally safe for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, and other areas with mild to moderate skin concerns. However, you may not be eligible for SkinPen microneedling if you are pregnant, have an active skin infection or open wounds in the treatment area, or have a history of poor wound healing or certain skin conditions such as keloids. During your consultation, our team will review your medical history and skin goals to determine if SkinPen microneedling is right for you.

Following the procedure, you may develop mild redness and swelling for around a day, but this should fade naturally. It may take about 1 – 2 months as the elastin and collagen levels increase until you notice visible improvements in the appearance and health of your treated skin. You should schedule around 4 – 6 follow-up sessions performed every 4 – 6 weeks for optimal results and lasting skin benefits.

How soon will I see results after SkinPen microneedling?
Some patients notice a healthy glow within a few days, but the most significant improvements typically develop over several weeks as new collagen and elastin are produced. Skin continues to remodel for up to three months after each session, with smoother texture, improved tone, and reduced appearance of fine lines or acne scars becoming more visible over time.

How long should I wait between SkinPen microneedling sessions?
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. This allows your skin enough time to heal and generate new collagen between sessions. Our team will recommend the ideal treatment schedule based on your skin type, condition, and goals, whether you're targeting fine lines, acne scars, or overall texture.

Is SkinPen safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, SkinPen is FDA-cleared and considered safe for all skin types, including darker complexions. Because it does not rely on heat or aggressive chemicals, it carries minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can be a concern with certain other treatments. It’s a great option for improving skin tone and texture in a gentle, controlled way.
