What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device clinically proven to safely and effectively improve the appearance of facial acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture. It works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body's natural wound healing process—remodeling collagen and elastin without the use of heat, chemicals, or invasive techniques.

Your Consultation

During your private consultation, our team will assess your skin quality, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan aligned with your desired outcome, all under the guidance of Dr. Courtney’s aesthetic philosophy. This time is yours to ask questions, share concerns, and begin a trusted partnership in your skin journey.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of SkinPen treatment in Houston with Dr. Courtney depends on your treatment area and the number of sessions recommended to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized quote and discuss available packages.

What to Expect During SkinPen Treatment

SkinPen sessions typically last about 30 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The SkinPen device is then passed over the targeted areas, creating controlled micro-injuries. Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or a sandpaper-like feel. You may experience slight redness or tightness immediately following treatment.

SkinPen Treatment Recovery and Results

Recovery is minimal. Redness typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours. You may notice a glow within days, with continued improvement in skin tone, texture, and firmness over several weeks as collagen production increases. A series of treatments can deliver optimal, long-lasting results.

Other Treatments to Complement SkinPen

Depending on your goals, our team may suggest additional treatments developed under Dr. Courtney’s expertise to further refine and enhance your look:

  • BOTOX for dynamic wrinkles
  • Dermal fillers for volume restoration
  • Custom skincare regimens tailored to your skin type

FAQs

Can SkinPen help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores?

Yes, SkinPen treatments can gradually refine the look of enlarged pores by stimulating collagen around the pore walls, leading to smoother skin texture over time.

Is SkinPen safe to use on darker skin tones?

Yes, SkinPen is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be safe and effective on all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones, with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation.

How long should I wait between SkinPen sessions?

Most patients are advised to wait about 4 to 6 weeks between SkinPen sessions to allow for full healing and optimal collagen remodeling before the next treatment.

Can SkinPen treat areas beyond the face?

Absolutely. SkinPen can be used on the neck, chest, hands, and even certain areas of the body to improve texture and reduce scarring.

Does SkinPen treatment hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slightly scratchy feeling.

How should I care for my skin after a SkinPen treatment?

You should avoid sun exposure, rigorous exercise, and active skincare ingredients for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Dr. Courtney may recommend post-care products to support healing.

Can SkinPen be combined with laser treatments?

Yes, SkinPen can be safely combined with certain laser treatments, depending on your skin goals. These combinations are often scheduled weeks apart and should be discussed with Dr. Courtney.

Is SkinPen effective for stretch marks?

While not its primary indication, SkinPen can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, especially when used in a series of treatments with adjunct therapies like PRP.

Can I wear makeup after SkinPen?

You should avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection. Once redness subsides, makeup can typically be resumed.

Will I peel after a SkinPen session?

Mild peeling may occur as the skin undergoes renewal, but it is usually minimal and resolves quickly. Proper hydration and post-care support will help minimize flaking.
