The Ultimate Guide to SkinPen® Microneedling: Collagen Remodeling, Downtime, and Luxury Boosters
If you are looking for a treatment that delivers a true, long-term transformation rather than just a temporary facial glow, SkinPen® Microneedling is the gold standard.
At Restore Wellness and Aesthetics, we don't believe in basic, raw needling that leaves your skin tight and red for days. We treat microneedling as an advanced, medical-grade therapy—and we customize every single session with elite topical infusions to slash your downtime and maximize your results.
Here is everything you need to know about how SkinPen works, what it treats, and how you can supercharge your session with our premium add-on menu.


🔬 How It Works: The Science of Collagen Induction
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market. It uses ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin.
These microscopic channels trick your skin into thinking it has been injured, triggering a powerful, natural healing response. Your body immediately floods the area with collagen and elastin—the two essential proteins responsible for youthful, firm, and glass-like skin.
As your skin rebuilds itself from the inside out, you will notice:
  • Softer, smoother texture
  • Visibly smaller pores
  • A brighter, more even skin tone
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and dark spots


🌟 What Can SkinPen Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is incredibly versatile. It isn’t just for the face—we successfully treat the neck, décolleté, abdomen (for crepey or lax skin), arms, thighs, knees, and stretch marks anywhere on the body.
We recommend SkinPen if you are fighting:
  • Fine lines, deep wrinkles, and skin laxity
  • Enlarged pores and dullness
  • Stubborn acne scars and textural irregularities
  • Sun damage, melasma, and uneven pigment
  • Stretch marks and surgical scars


💉 Customize Your Treatment: Our Premium Upgrade Menu
Because your skin's micro-channels are wide open during the treatment, it is the perfect window to drive advanced, medical-grade nutrients deep into the cellular layer.
Every standard SkinPen session at Restore Wellness and Aesthetics ($275 | Members save up to 20%) automatically includes a Bonus Take-Home vial of our Signature Copper & HA Recovery Serum ($45 retail value) to accelerate cellular repair and flood the skin with hydration.

🔁 What is the Recovery and Treatment Plan?
While you will notice a visible glow within 1 to 2 weeks, your skin will continue to actively produce new collagen for over 3 months. For optimal, structural reversal of scarring, lines, or pigment, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
What about downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Your skin will look and feel like a moderate sunburn for the first 24 to 48 hours. You may experience light dryness or mild flaking as old skin cells shed away to reveal your new, radiant complexion.
