Whether you are dealing with acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, or dull, uneven skin, SkinPen microneedling at SKEANMED is designed around your specific skin goals. Our best facial and skin experts combine clinical-grade technology with a personalized treatment plan, so every patient leaves with a clear understanding of what to expect and why SKEANMED is considered the top choice for microneedling in Las Vegas.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen is the first and only microneedling device to receive FDA clearance in the United States, a distinction that sets it apart from many of the generic devices used at spas that are not medically supervised. The device uses a series of ultra-fine sterile needles that create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.
Unlike lasers or chemical peels that work by removing layers of skin with heat or acid, SkinPen works with your skin biology. Because the treatment does not rely on heat, it is considered one of the safest options for all skin tones, including deeper skin tones that are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with laser treatments.
How SkinPen Microneedling Works at SKEANMED
Every SkinPen treatment at SKEANMED begins with a full consultation with one of our top injectors so we can evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and confirm that microneedling is the right option for you.
The Consultation
Our best facial and skin experts assess your skin type, texture concerns, scarring, and pore size, then walk you through a customized treatment plan, including how many sessions you may need to reach your goals.
The Treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The SkinPen device is then passed over the treatment area, most commonly the full face, neck, or décolletage, with needle depth adjusted based on the area and concern being treated. Most sessions take between thirty and forty-five minutes.
Aftercare
Skin will appear flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, for twenty four to forty eight hours. Our team provides a full aftercare protocol including gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and sun protection guidance to support healing and maximize results.

Who Is a Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling
Most healthy adults are excellent candidates for SkinPen microneedling. It is particularly popular among patients who want to improve acne scarring, refine texture, or address early signs of aging without committing to injectables. Patients with active acne breakouts, active cold sores, keloid scarring tendencies, or certain skin infections may need to wait or choose an alternative treatment. During your consultation, our top injectors will confirm candidacy and, if needed, recommend a more suitable treatment such as a chemical peel or a customized facial.
Results and Recovery Timeline
Most patients see initial improvements in skin texture and glow within a week of their first session, with continued improvement over the following four to six weeks as new collagen forms. A series of three to six sessions, spaced four weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results with scarring or more significant texture concerns. Maintenance sessions every few months help preserve results and continue stimulating collagen production over time.
The Science Behind Collagen Induction Therapy
To understand why SkinPen microneedling works, it helps to understand how skin heals. When the skin experiences a controlled injury, such as the microscopic channels created by SkinPen needles, it activates a three-phase healing response: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. During the inflammation phase, the body sends growth factors and immune cells to the area. During proliferation, new collagen, elastin, and blood vessels begin to form. During remodeling, which can continue for several months, that new collagen matures and strengthens, gradually improving the texture, firmness, and overall quality of the skin.
Because this process happens naturally within your own skin rather than through an external substance, results tend to look remarkably natural. This is one of the reasons SkinPen microneedling has remained a trusted, evidence-backed treatment even as newer technologies have entered the market. Our top injectors at SKEANMED closely monitor needle depth and technique to make sure this healing cascade is triggered effectively without unnecessary trauma to the skin.
Preparing for Your SkinPen Appointment
A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth SkinPen experience. In the days leading up to your appointment, our best facial and skin experts recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure, discontinuing retinoids and exfoliating acids for three to five days, and arriving with clean skin free of makeup. If you have a history of cold sores, let your provider know in advance, as a preventive antiviral may be recommended.
On the day of treatment, plan for your appointment to take about an hour when you include consultation, numbing time, and the procedure itself. Because your skin will appear flushed afterward, many Las Vegas patients schedule SkinPen sessions for a Friday afternoon or the start of a weekend so they have a day or two before returning to work or social plans.
Combining SkinPen with Other SKEANMED Treatments
One of the advantages of visiting a top medspa like SKEANMED is the ability to build a complete skin health plan rather than a single isolated treatment. SkinPen pairs exceptionally well with regenerative add ons like Rejuran Salmon DNA or BENEV exosomes, both of which can be layered into the skin immediately after microneedling for enhanced absorption. For patients also interested in skin tightening, SkinPen is often used in rotation with Oligio RF treatments to address both texture and laxity. Our top injectors will discuss whether a combination approach makes sense for your specific goals during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SkinPen microneedling hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable throughout the session.
How many SkinPen sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of three to six treatments spaced about four weeks apart, though your top injector will tailor a plan based on your specific skin concerns during your consultation.
Is there downtime after SkinPen microneedling?
Redness similar to a mild sunburn typically resolves within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Most patients return to normal activities the next day, making it easy to fit into a busy Las Vegas schedule.
Can SkinPen be combined with other treatments at SKEANMED?
Yes. Many patients pair SkinPen with Rejuran Salmon DNA or BENEV exosomes to further enhance collagen stimulation and speed healing. Your provider will discuss the best combination for your goals.
Is SkinPen safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Because SkinPen does not use heat- or light-based energy, it carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to many laser treatments, making it a safe option across all Fitzpatrick skin types.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice a healthy glow within days, with continued texture and tone improvement over four to six weeks as new collagen builds beneath the skin.
What should I avoid after SkinPen microneedling?
Avoid direct sun exposure, sweat-inducing exercise, makeup, and active skincare ingredients like retinoids or exfoliating acids for at least forty eight hours after treatment to allow the skin to heal properly.
Can SkinPen help with acne scars specifically?
Yes, SkinPen is one of the most well-studied treatments for improving the appearance of atrophic acne scars, and a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart often provides the most noticeable improvement for scarring.
