Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling
Experience the benefits of SkinPen® microneedling for improving facial acne scars, smoother-looking texture, and selected neck wrinkles with this minimally invasive professional treatment. SkinPen creates microchannels to trigger the skin’s natural repair processes.
Learn why this professional microneedling device can be safely used by trained providers in a clinic setting.
How Does Microneedling with SkinPen Work?
SkinPen features a sterile cartridge with microscopic needles that create controlled microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries kickstart the body’s natural wound-healing mechanisms.
Collagen production flares up as part of the healing process, which unfolds over a few days or weeks. Inflammatory stages and collagen remodeling may gradually improve the look of suitable scars or wrinkles.

Can SkinPen Reduce Acne Scars?
SkinPen may reduce the appearance of certain facial acne scars when used on suitable adults. Not all scars are equal. Depending on their type, age, size, depth, and location, they may respond differently to microneedling.
Additionally, every person’s skin heals at a different rate, which can affect perceived results. Before undergoing microneedling with SkinPen, let a provider at Lords & Ladies examine your skin to ensure its health.
Can SkinPen Reduce Neck Wrinkles?
SkinPen may also reduce the appearance of certain neck wrinkles when used on the correct candidate.
The neck is one area that requires extra evaluation before microneedling. Providers typically exercise additional caution with skin that may be thinner or more sensitive than facial skin.
A trained provider can determine if your desired treatment area is suitable and choose
microneedling settings appropriately. Clients should mention recent peels, injectables, lasers, topical retinol use, and sensitivity to medical professionals before proceeding.
Does SkinPen Hurt or Use Heat?
SkinPen takes the hassle out of microneedling by allowing providers to create microchannels without costly add-ons. The device does not apply radiofrequency heat, laser energy, or chemical peel solutions to the skin.
Comparatively speaking, SkinPen is different from RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels. Each of these services employs its own method to rejuvenate skin.
Just because multiple treatments utilize needles doesn’t mean they are interchangeable. During consultation, clients can review SkinPen services alongside other offerings from Lords & Ladies.
How Many SkinPen Sessions Are Needed?
One appointment may be enough for the SkinPen to improve skin. Multiple treatments spread out over weeks or months may benefit some clients more than others.
Providers at Lords & Ladies can recommend how many treatments you need and how to space them out.
Do not agree to purchase a series of treatments until a medical professional at Lords & Ladies confirms SkinPen is right for you. More treatments do not guarantee any specific result.
Is There Downtime With SkinPen?
As mentioned previously, SkinPen treatment is minimally invasive. Clients can typically return to work immediately after microneedling with minimal consequences.
That said, side effects including redness, skin sensitivity, tightness, facial peeling, and swelling can happen. Every client experiences recovery differently.
Never book a SkinPen appointment right before a major event. Even if you know someone who bounced back quickly as flush, that does not mean you will as well.
Treat skin with microneedling lightly. Abrasive cleansing, picking, or facial scrubbing can prolong or complicate recovery.
SkinPen Aftercare
Lords & Ladies recommends that clients discontinue retinol, exfoliating acids, and certain other products before treatment. While SkinPen doesn’t always require what most people think of as aftercare, there are some activities to avoid.
After microneedling with SkinPen, you should probably steer clear of makeup, exercise, swimming, sweating, direct sunlight, and additional exfoliants for a period of time. Follow detailed aftercare instructions from Lords & Ladies for how to apply your included post-treatment products.
If you have questions or concerns during recovery, contact the team at Lords & Ladies. Remember, temporary redness is normal; harsh pain, swelling, or rash is not.
Who Should Not Get SkinPen Microneedling?
There are caveats to who can receive microneedling. If you have active infections or harsh irritation in the desired treatment area, speak to a provider. Medical conditions, medications, recent procedures, or extraordinary healing characteristics can also impact candidacy.
As with any medical procedure, you should be upfront with providers about medication, acne or skincare products, pregnancy possibilities, past reactions or known sensitivities, and general health. Hiding this information could increase your risk of negative side effects.
Delaying treatment is better than proceeding when ineligible. Your medical provider can help you decide if you should wait or try a different Lords & Ladies service.
Benefits of Professional Microneedling Treatment
Budget at-home rollers and DIY microneedling kits are tempting because they promise professional results for less money. At-home tools are not offered at Lords & Ladies because medically unsupervised clients should not use them.
An authentic SkinPen device administers micro-injuries at precise depths every time when used by a trained provider. Your skin will be evaluated, and recovery will be closely monitored by someone with training.
SkinPen needling isn’t a standalone treatment that will solve all of your skin issues immediately. Daily sunscreen, selecting better skincare products for home use, and professional maintenance treatments can help you maintain your appearance and give you the results you seek.
