SkinPen microneedling, Brentwood & West Hollywood

Your skin doesn't need more product. It needs a signal.

SkinPen is FDA-cleared microneedling that triggers your skin's own collagen renewal, so acne scars soften, pores tighten and the products you already own finally reach where they need to go.

Sound familiar?

You've fed your skin everything. It never actually responded.

It isn't a discipline problem or the wrong product. Your skin was never given a reason to rebuild.

I've spent a fortune on products and can't see the difference.
I want to look rested, not like I've had something done.
The glow from a facial is gone in two weeks.
I don't have time for real downtime.
How it works

It renews from within, in three phases

Precision micro-channels prompt the skin to rebuild itself. No creams, no promises, just the body's own repair response.

01

Inflammation

The repair response switches on within hours of treatment.

02

Proliferation

New collagen and elastin form over the following weeks.

03

Remodeling

Skin becomes smoother, tighter and more even over the following months.

What to expect

About thirty minutes, then back to your day

Before

Cleanse and numb

Numbing cream goes on first, so the treatment itself is close to painless.

During

About 30 minutes

Mild pressure and a light vibration. Most patients describe it as a scratching sensation.

After

Redness fades in 1 to 3 days

Like a mild sunburn. Sunscreen and makeup are fine the next day.

Questions

Before you book

What is SkinPen?

An FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate natural healing and new collagen and elastin.

What does it treat?

Acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, enlarged pores and other visible signs of aging.

How many treatments will I need?

It varies. A series of about three treatments spaced roughly four weeks apart is common. You'll get your exact plan at the consultation.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream is applied first. Most patients feel mild pressure, vibration or a light scratching.

How long does it take?

The microneedling itself is about 30 minutes, plus time for numbing and prep.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. Redness, sensitivity or mild swelling that looks like a light sunburn usually settles within a few days.

When will I see results?

Gradually. Some improvement within several weeks, with results continuing to develop over months as collagen rebuilds.

Can I wear makeup afterward?

Not immediately. Your provider will give you timing and aftercare instructions, usually the next day.

Am I a candidate?

SkinPen suits many skin types and tones, but not everyone. The complimentary consultation covers your skin, history and goals.
