What is Microneedling?
SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device that causes tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer skin.
Microneedling is ideal for anyone desiring natural rejuvenation—especially those with texture issues, scars, enlarged pores, or early signs of aging.
