About SkinPen Microneedling

Improve skin quality with SkinPen microneedling performed by Dr. Jeffrey Lisiecki. This treatment stimulates collagen to address acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Using precise, controlled micro-injuries, SkinPen promotes smoother tone, refined texture, and natural rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What is a SkinPen microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a medical-grade, FDA-cleared device to create precise micro-channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. At Dr. Jeffrey Lisiecki’s practice, SkinPen microneedling is often enhanced with PRP or nanofat to further support cellular regeneration, improve texture and tone, and promote smoother, healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.

SkinPen microneedling can correct the following:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and textural irregularities
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone and rough texture
  • Loss of skin firmness and elasticity

Amplify the results with PRP or nanofat

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that support tissue repair. When combined with SkinPen microneedling, PRP penetrates deeply into the skin to accelerate healing, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve tone and texture. This is especially effective for fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.

This is especially effective for fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Nanofat

Nanofat is processed from a small amount of your own fat and contains regenerative cells and signaling factors that support skin renewal. When paired with SkinPen microneedling, nanofat enhances skin quality by improving texture and elasticity at a cellular level. It can brighten dark circles under your eyes, even pigmentation, smooth wrinkles, and reverse the aging of your skin.

The benefits of SkinPen microneedling:

  • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
  • Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and acne scars
  • Enhanced results when combined with PRP or nanofat
  • Minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime

How is SkinPen microneedling administered?

Your SkinPen microneedling session begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area, followed by the application of a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. If PRP or nanofat is part of your treatment plan, it is prepared at this time.

Once your skin is ready, the SkinPen device is passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-channels at precise depths tailored to your skin’s needs. Once microneedling is complete, PRP or nanofat is applied directly to your skin, allowing these regenerative materials to penetrate deeply through the microchannels. You will look postprocedural on the day of the treatment, and may experience mild warmth or redness, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days.

Recovery after SkinPen microneedling

After SkinPen microneedling, you can expect mild redness, warmth, and sensitivity similar to a sunburn. This typically lasts a few days after treatment, depending on the depth of treatment and whether PRP or nanofat was used. You may also notice slight peeling or dryness as your skin begins to heal. Most patients return to normal activities within a day.

The results develop gradually as collagen production increases. You may notice improvements in texture and tone within a few weeks, with continued enhancements over several months. A series of treatments, often spaced four to six weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. When combined with PRP or nanofat, the results can be even more noticeable.
