healing process.
This enhances collagen production and elastin production, which improves skin texture, reduces hyperpigmentation, and revitalizes overall skin tone.
The technique is effective for all skin types and can be tailored to treat various skin conditions, including uneven skin tone and signs of aging. It is often combined with growth factors or topical serums to boost skin rejuvenation.

SkinPen Microneedling Candidates
Ideal candidates include individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, sun damage, skin texture irregularities, or pigmentation issues. A consultation with one of our experienced providers ensures a customized treatment plan based on your goals, skin type, and treatment area.
The SkinPen Microneedling Procedure
Before your treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Once your skin is prepped, the SkinPen microneedling device is passed over the treatment area, creating microchannels that trigger the regeneration of collagen and elastin.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Topical skincare products may be applied immediately after the treatment to enhance the effects.
Many patients notice improvement in skin tone and texture within a week, with more significant results emerging after multiple treatment sessions. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, often involving 3–6 sessions spaced several weeks apart.
SkinPen Microneedling Recovery & Results
One of the standout features of SkinPen microneedling is its minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn, which resolves within 24–72 hours. As new collagen forms, you’ll notice a progressive improvement in skin laxity and radiance.
To support optimal healing, avoid direct sun exposure and follow all post-treatment skincare instructions. Follow-up treatments may be scheduled as part of your long-term skin care routine, especially to address deeper acne scars or sun damage.
Can I combine SkinPen microneedling with any other treatments?
Yes, SkinPen microneedling can be safely combined with injectables like Botox® or fillers, or skin treatments like chemical peels for enhanced results. Your provider will help design a combination treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Does microneedling work for all skin types?
Yes, microneedling is considered safe and effective for all skin types and tones. It is an excellent option for patients with diverse skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and early signs of aging.
What are the side effects of microneedling?
Most side effects are mild and temporary. These may include redness, slight swelling, and sensitivity for a few days post-treatment. Following post-treatment guidelines minimizes risks and supports healing.
How much does SkinPen microneedling cost?
The cost of microneedling can vary based on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, the number of recommended treatment sessions, and whether any additional procedures, such as Botox, are performed in conjunction with it. Since every skin concern and treatment plan is unique, the best way to determine your personalized microneedling cost is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Broumand at 740 Park Plastic Surgery in NYC.
What’s the difference between SkinPen and Morpheus8?
SkinPen and Morpheus8 are both microneedling treatments, but they differ in technology and intensity. SkinPen uses traditional microneedling to stimulate collagen production, making it ideal for improving skin texture, fine lines, and acne scars with minimal downtime. In contrast, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat deep into the skin to tighten tissues, smooth wrinkles, and remodel fat. This advanced RF microneedling treatment is better suited for addressing skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, and contouring the face and body.
