Collagen Induction
How SkinPen® Microneedling Works
SkinPen® creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, activating its natural repair response and supporting collagen remodeling. This process occurs gradually over the following weeks and months.
01
Controlled Microchannels
During Treatment
SkinPen® uses fine, sterile needles to create precise microchannels in the skin, initiating the body’s natural wound-healing response.
02
Natural Skin Repair
Early Healing Phase
The skin begins repairing the treated areas through a coordinated healing response involving cellular activity and tissue regeneration.
03
Collagen Remodeling
Following Weeks & Months
Fibroblasts support the production and remodeling of collagen and other structural components, which may gradually improve skin texture and the appearance of acne scars.
04
Progressive Skin Improvement
Results Develop Over Time
As remodeling continues, treated skin may appear smoother and more even. Improvements vary depending on skin condition, treatment depth, and number of sessions.

Skin Concerns
Skin Concerns Microneedling May Help Improve
Facial acne scars are a key focus of SkinPen® Precision treatment. Depending on your skin assessment, microneedling may also improve the appearance of uneven texture, superficial fine lines, and enlarged-looking pores. Your provider will help you set realistic goals for your skin.
Smoother Skin Texture
Microneedling may improve rough or uneven-looking texture as the skin repairs and remodels, supporting a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
Softer-Looking Fine Lines
Collagen remodeling may soften the appearance of shallow lines, helping skin look smoother as improvements develop gradually after treatment.
Less Noticeable Pores
Improvements in surrounding skin texture may make enlarged-looking pores less noticeable, creating a more refined-looking skin surface.
Your provider will assess your skin, scar type, and any active breakouts before recommending treatment. Results vary, develop gradually, and may require multiple sessions. Microneedling does not remove pores, and deeper wrinkles or significant skin laxity may need a different approach.
Treatment Comparison
Classic Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling
Both treatments stimulate collagen remodeling but use different technologies. At Parsa Wellness, we offer SkinPen® Precision for classic microneedling and VoluDerm™ for RF microneedling. Understanding their differences can help you choose the right treatment for your skin concerns.

Common Inquiries
Frequently Asked Questions About SkinPen® Microneedling
Find answers about treatment benefits, discomfort, recovery, safety, pricing, and expected results.
SkinPen® Precision is a professional microneedling device that uses sterile, single-use needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural repair response and supports collagen remodeling, which may improve the appearance of facial acne scars and uneven texture.
You may experience mild to moderate prickling, vibration, or pressure during treatment. Topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area and individual tolerance.
Redness, warmth, mild swelling, and sensitivity are common after treatment and often improve within 24–72 hours. Some patients may experience dryness or flaking for several additional days. Recovery varies.
A series of 3–6 sessions, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, may be recommended. The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns, acne scar severity, and individual response.
Skin improvements develop gradually as collagen remodeling occurs over several weeks and months. Some patients notice changes in texture earlier, while acne scar improvements generally require multiple sessions. Results vary.
SkinPen® may be suitable for a wide range of skin tones, including darker complexions. However, temporary or persistent pigmentation changes are possible. Your provider will assess your skin and discuss potential risks before treatment.
Classic SkinPen® microneedling creates microchannels mechanically without radiofrequency energy. RF microneedling, such as VoluDerm™, combines microchannel formation with controlled RF heating and may be considered when mild skin laxity is also a concern.
Microneedling may be unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, while taking certain medications such as isotretinoin, or when active infections, open wounds, or certain inflammatory skin conditions are present. Bleeding disorders and other medical conditions may also affect eligibility. A clinical assessment is required.
PRP may be considered as a complementary treatment following a clinical assessment. However, additional benefits are not guaranteed, and the safety and suitability of specific combination protocols must be evaluated by your provider.
SkinPen® microneedling at Parsa Wellness Clinic starts at $200 per session. Treatment pricing is $350 for Face, $450 for Face & Neck, $550 for Face, Neck & Chest, and $200 for Hands. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on your skin concerns.
