Boost your skin’s collagen naturally—minimal downtime, lasting results.

At the Dermatology Institute of Detroit in Dearborn, we offer SkinPen microneedling, an FDA-cleared treatment designed to improve acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture and tone. Safe for all skin types, SkinPen triggers your skin’s natural healing response by creating tiny microchannels that stimulate new collagen and elastin production.

What SkinPen Microneedling Treats

▪ Acne scars and surgical scars

▪ Enlarged pores

▪ Fine lines and wrinkles of the face and neck

▪ Uneven tone, texture or hyperpigmentation

How SkinPen Works

SkinPen uses sterile, medical-grade microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate your body’s natural wound-healing cascade, leading to increased collagen remodeling and skin renewal. Treatments take less than an hour and are performed in-office using a topical numbing agent for comfort.

Most patients see improvement within 2–3 weeks, with full benefits emerging over several months. For best results, a series of 3 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart is often recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is SkinPen microneedling painful?

Most patients describe it as only mildly uncomfortable. We apply a custom topical numbing ointment that has been proven in peer-reviewed studies to have the best efficacy among all topical anesthetics.

How many treatments will I need?
