SkinPen® Microneedling
Developed by Bellus Medical, SkinPen® is a minimally invasive microneedling method designed to treat a variety of aesthetic concerns by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response. Using this innovative technique, board-certified plastic surgeon Jon Kurkjian, MD and his team at Kurkjian Aesthetics can improve the appearance of skin affected by sun damage, aging, acne, and many other lifestyle and environmental elements—all with little to no downtime or discomfort. After treatment with SkinPen®, you can achieve a rejuvenated, more even skin tone and texture with lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling with SkinPen®?
The customizable SkinPen® treatment offers several unique benefits to women and men seeking to reduce signs of aging and enhance the overall health and quality of their skin. Key advantages of SkinPen® microneedling include:
- A non-surgical, minimally invasive skin care treatment
- Ability to be used on all skin types
- Ability to treat skin virtually anywhere on the body, including the face, neck and décolletage
- A short procedure with minimal to no downtime and a high degree of safety
- Stimulation of natural collagen and elastin growth for long-lasting results
How Does the SkinPen® Treatment Work?
During treatment, the SkinPen® device is gently guided over the targeted area(s) as it creates microscopic channels in the surface layers of skin via tiny needles. This creation of small channels works to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin as part of the body’s natural healing process, eventually leading to a smoother, more toned and rejuvenated aesthetic on the surface of the skin.
The entire SkinPen® microneedling treatment typically takes less than an hour to complete, though this will depend on the number and extent of concerns being addressed. There may be some degree of temporary redness and/or swelling apparent initially, but these symptoms can generally be concealed by makeup, and most individuals are able to resume normal daily activities the same day. To minimize any potential discomfort throughout the treatment process, a local anesthetic can be employed in the targeted region(s) prior to the SkinPen® procedure.

What Results Can I Expect from SkinPen®?
Results of microneedling with SkinPen® generally start to become noticeable within a few days, and the effects of treatment should continue to improve in the following weeks as the growth of new collagen and elastin continues. The majority of patients need approximately three SkinPen® sessions to achieve an optimal outcome, though certain aesthetic concerns—such as acne scarring—may require additional treatments.
Ultimately, like every procedure offered at our practice, SkinPen® microneedling can be individually tailored to meet your specific needs and cosmetic desires. No patient is simply a number to Dr. Kurkjian and our team, and we will do everything in our power to help you achieve your goals in the safest, most effective and efficient way possible.
