SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING

At Venustas Immortalis, we use an FDA-cleared Microneedling device, called SkinPen. Voted "Best In Industry" in 2022, the device uses needles to pierce the skin in a controlled and precise pattern that works to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate the skin. It’s effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and surgical and acne scars.

HOW IT WORKS

SkinPen Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by creating microscopic holes in the epidermis and dermis of the skin at a rate of 1600 per second. These small micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, which releases natural growth factors and stimulates new collagen production.

SkinPen is a simple, comfortable, and effective treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, rosacea, sun damage, melasma and hyperpigmentation!

SkinPen Microneedling in Dubuque, Iowa

BENEFITS

  1. Inflammation - Your immune system is triggered to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.

  2. Proliferation - The micro-wounds begin rebuilding with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Plus, a new network of blood vessels develops!

  3. Remodeling - The formation of dermal tissues and blood vessels begins which are comprised of rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin youthfulness!

SkinPen doesn't rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are natural and safe for all skin tones and types. This is a form of “Traditional” Microneedling, which differs from Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling. RF Microneedling creates heat in multiple layers of the skin, making it more suited for those that have concerns with sagging skin.

POST-PROCEDURE SKIN CARE

Providing essential nutrients to the healing skin after a microneedling treatment is crucial for optimal results!

FAQ

  • SkinPen microneedling is ideal for adults looking to improve overall skin quality without surgery or significant downtime. It is especially effective for individuals concerned with acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and mild skin laxity. This collagen-induction therapy is safe for most skin types and tones, making it a popular option for patients who want smoother, firmer, more radiant skin through natural collagen production.

    You may be a great candidate for SkinPen if you want a non-laser skin rejuvenation treatment, prefer minimal downtime, or are looking to maintain youthful skin as part of a long-term anti-aging plan. A personalized consultation will determine if microneedling is right for your skin goals and whether it should be combined with treatments like PRF or medical-grade skincare for enhanced results.

  • The number of SkinPen microneedling treatments you need depends on your skin goals, concerns, and current skin condition. For most patients, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers optimal results for improving acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and overall skin tone. Deeper concerns such as acne scarring or stretch marks may require 4–6 sessions, while maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help prolong collagen production and long-term results.

    SkinPen is ideal for stimulating natural collagen and elastin with minimal downtime, making it one of the most effective non-laser skin rejuvenation treatments available. During your consultation, your provider will customize a treatment plan based on your skin type, goals, and timeline.

  • A typical SkinPen microneedling treatment takes about 45–60 minutes from start to finish. This includes time for cleansing, applying a topical numbing cream for comfort, and performing the collagen-stimulating microneedling procedure. The treatment itself usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated (face, neck, or additional areas).

    SkinPen is a quick, minimally invasive procedure with little downtime, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule while still delivering powerful skin rejuvenation results.

  • After your SkinPen microneedling treatment, it’s normal to experience redness, warmth, and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for 24–72 hours. Your skin may feel tight, dry, or slightly rough as the natural healing process and collagen production begin. Most patients notice improved glow and texture within a week, with continued improvements in fine lines, acne scars, pores, and overall skin tone over the following weeks.

    Downtime is minimal, but you should avoid makeup, sweating, sun exposure, and active skincare ingredients for the first 24 hours while your skin heals. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to maximize results and ensure a smooth recovery.
