SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared collagen induction treatment that improves skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality while stimulating natural collagen production with minimal down time.
At Chris Medical Aesthetics in Portland, Maine, we use SkinPen to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
By creating thousands of precise microchannels in the skin, SkinPen triggers the body’s natural healing response and stimulates new collagen and elastin production.
This treatment can improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne scarring, and overall skin texture with minimal downtime.
What to Expect
Most patients tolerate SkinPen well, reporting only mild tingling or pressure during treatment. You can return to your usual activities right after treatment, with minor restrictions. Most clients report 24 hours of mild swelling and redness, followed by 48 hours of mildly inflamed skin.
SkinPen triggers the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating one year's worth of collagen and elastin production in one session, without the use of heat or chemicals.
How Long SkinPen Results Last
SkinPen results begin to appear within days of treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks as new collagen develops. Studies have demonstrated increased collagen and elastin production for up to one year following treatment.
For optimal collagen stimulation, most clients complete a series of 3 treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 12 months can preserve and enhance results. Individual outcomes vary based on age, skin quality, treatment goals, sun exposure, and skincare habits.
