What is SkinPen® Microneedling?
Microneedling involves the use of the SkinPen® device with fine, sterile needles to create micro channels on the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture and firmness, providing a non-invasive solution for a range of skincare issues.
Modern microneedling evolved in the 1990s when the technique gained popularity for its effectiveness in treating scars and wrinkles. Today, microneedling is a cornerstone of advanced skincare, with continuous innovations and improvements in technology.

The SkinPen® Microneedling Procedure
Before the procedure, patients should avoid excessive sun exposure and inform us of any active skin conditions and current medications. On the day of the treatment, the patient should arrive with skin clean and free of makeup. Avoid Retin-A, Tretinoin & Retinol products for 3 days prior to Microneedling.
First, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. During the microneedling procedure, our professionals use a skin pen, a handheld device with fine needles to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen production. The customized and efficient treatment typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.
Your Recovery and Results
Recovery from microneedling at Thrive is swift and simple with minimal downtime. Post-treatment, patients might experience mild swelling and redness that subsides within a few days. People are able to resume regular activities shortly after the session. We advise avoiding excessive sun exposure and using recommended skincare products to enhance the recovery process.
Short-term microneedling results include an immediate improvement in skin texture and tone. The microchannels lead to a more youthful complexion. Long-term benefits become evident as collagen continues to rebuild, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Microneedling continues to be popular due to the gradual and natural enhancement of skin quality.
