SkinPen® Microneedling

Home » Aesthetics » SkinPen® Microneedling

Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive procedure used to improve texture, tone, and wrinkles in the skin. Microneedling improves the appearance of scarring, including acne and wound scars, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

Reveal Smooth, Healthy
Skin That Glows

Microneedling at Renew Wellness & Aesthetics in Oklahoma City uses the SkinPen x, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. This minimally invasive treatment improves texture, tone, and wrinkles while softening the look of acne scars, wound scars, and stretch marks. Reveal a smoother, healthier, more youthful complexion with results that build from within.

How Microneedling Works

At Renew Wellness & Aesthetics, we use the SkinPen® x by Crown Aesthetics, which is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. The SkinPen stimulates the skin’s natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin for healthier, younger-looking skin. It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound-healing process while minimizing cellular damage.

The small micro-injures in the epidermis begin to close immediately and the healing response begins right away, producing more collagen and elastin. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact, to reveal your beautiful new complexion. Choose Renew Wellness & Aesthetics for your Microneedling treatments to improve your skin’s overall appearance and experience the benefits of younger-looking, glowing skin.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Skinpen Microneedling Treatment?

SkinPen microneedling has been clinically shown to be effective for women and men with all skin types. It’s a great option if you want to improve skin texture, tone, or wrinkles, or soften the appearance of acne scars, wound scars, and stretch marks. Because the treatment stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, it’s well suited for anyone seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery or extended downtime.

Microneedling may not be right for everyone, such as those with active skin infections or recent use of oral isotretinoin. During your consultation, your provider will review your skin concerns, medical history, and goals to confirm SkinPen is the right fit for you.

As before, please have your provider confirm the exclusions mentioned match Renew’s own screening criteria before publishing.

What to Expect

Consultation

Before your SkinPen microneedling treatment in Oklahoma City, you’ll meet with one of our providers for a complimentary consultation. Your provider will discuss any concerns you have about your skin, as well as what you’d like to accomplish. We will also discuss any sensitivities your skin may have.

SkinPen Treatment

A topical numbing agent will be used to ensure your comfort during your treatment. Then we will use the SkinPen microneedling tool to lightly pierce the skin with tiny (micro) needles to inspire your skin to repair itself, creating new skin and boosting collagen production naturally. To conclude your session, your provider will apply a hydrating gel that will soothe the skin and help to prevent it from drying out.

Results

Many of our patients begin to see results immediately after receiving a SkinPen microneedling treatment. You will continue to see improvements in your skin over the following 3 to 6 weeks as your skin fully repairs from the microneedling procedure. Collagen regeneration continues after your treatment for 6 months to 1 year.
