MICRONEEDLING | $349

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

You may need between 1 to 6 SkinPen microneedling treatments to achieve your desired results. If you're trying to minimize your pores, you should only expect to need 1 treatment session. However, you may need up to 6 treatment sessions to erase moderate-to-severe wrinkles, folds, or scarring. We do offer discounted pricing when you buy packages of either 3 or 6 treatments.

 

Is microneedling safe?

Yes! SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling device. Its patented and single-use sterile needle cartridge is built with safety in mind. It is surrounded by a custom designed bioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent cross-contamination between procedures. 

​

Is microneedling painful?

Microneedling is performed by a professional with a topical anesthetic to numb the skin. The depth of treatment is adjustable, so it is safe to use on the entire face, as well as the neck and even the hands. Most clients rate the discomfort as 2 out of 10.

​
