SkinPen Microneedling
Controlled Injury, Real Repair
SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device that creates thousands of tiny channels in the skin. Each one is small enough to heal quickly but significant enough to trigger your body's wound healing response, which floods the area with new collagen and elastin.
It is FDA cleared and safe for all skin types and tones, which is not true of every resurfacing option out there. That makes it one of the most versatile treatments we offer at our Chino office.

What a Session Involves
We apply topical numbing for about twenty to thirty minutes before starting. The treatment itself takes fifteen to thirty minutes depending on the area. Most people describe it as a vibrating, prickly sensation rather than a painful one.
Afterward your skin will look like a moderate sunburn for a day or two, sometimes three. Makeup goes back on after twenty four hours. Most patients do a series of three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart to get the full benefit.
What SkinPen microneedling improves.

How many sessions do I need?
Most treatment plans run three to six sessions about four weeks apart. Scarring generally needs more sessions than general texture and tone.
Does it hurt?
Numbing cream does most of the heavy lifting. Patients typically describe pressure and vibration rather than any sharp pain.
What is the downtime?
Expect redness like a sunburn for one to three days. You can wear makeup again after twenty four hours.
Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling pairs well with medical-grade skincare and injectables. We will space your appointments so nothing interferes with healing.
