What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production through controlled micro-injuries. These tiny punctures in the skin trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
Key Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling:
✔ Reduces fine lines & wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production to smooth out wrinkles.
✔ Minimizes acne scars – Clinically proven to improve the appearance of scars.
✔ Evens out skin tone – Reduces hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and melasma.
✔ Improves skin texture – Creates smoother, firmer skin with a natural glow.
✔ Minimally invasive & safe – Little to no downtime, suitable for all skin types.
What to Expect During Your SkinPen Microneedling Treatment:
A topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The SkinPen device will then be gently moved across the treatment area, creating the micro-channels. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Downtime and Recovery:
You may experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after the treatment, similar to a sunburn. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two.
Results:
You may start to see improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few weeks. Optimal results are typically seen after a series of treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
The Science of Combination Therapy
When combined with SkinPen Microneedling, exosomes take the skin rejuvenation process to the next level. The micro-channels created by the SkinPen provide a direct pathway for the exosomes to penetrate deeper into the skin. This enhanced delivery allows the exosomes to:
- Boost Collagen and Elastin Production: Exosomes contain growth factors that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, further enhancing the skin-tightening and wrinkle-reducing effects of microneedling.
- Accelerate Skin Healing: The growth factors and other molecules in exosomes promote faster healing and reduce downtime after the microneedling procedure.
- Enhance Skin Regeneration: Exosomes stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes, leading to improved skin texture, tone, and overall radiance.
- Reduce Inflammation: Exosomes have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the skin and minimize redness after the treatment.
What to Expect from a SkinPen + Exosomes Treatment
1️⃣ Microneedling Session: We begin with a standard SkinPen Microneedling procedure, creating controlled micro-injuries to stimulate skin repair.
2️⃣ Application of Exosomes: Immediately after microneedling, a concentrated exosome serum is applied to the skin, allowing it to penetrate deep into the microchannels created by the SkinPen.
3️⃣ Faster Recovery & Enhanced Results: Within 24-48 hours, patients notice significantly reduced redness and irritation, with brighter, smoother, and healthier skin emerging in days.
Combining SkinPen Microneedling with exosomes represents a significant advancement in aesthetic treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SkinPen?
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world, clinically proven to safely and effectively fighting the appearance of neck wrinkles and facial acne scars for ages 22 and up. With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence.
How Does It Work?
SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation.2 Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Why Use It?
SkinPen is clinically proven to fighting the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars. In fact, 90% of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the treatment to friends and family.1 It’s a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little downtime. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen sets the industry standard for safety.
Will it Work for Me?
Unlike some alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically proven to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from light to very dark.1 Likewise, unlike lasers or chemical peels that can damage skin over the long term, SkinPen treatments, when properly spaced and overseen by a physician, can be used for years.
Is It Safe?
Yes, by design. SkinPen’s patent-pending – and single-use – sterile needle cartridge is built with safety in mind. SkinPen is also surrounded by a proprietary BioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent cross contamination between procedures.1 That’s part of the reason SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device. Learn more by reviewing our patient labeling document.
Who Should Not Use It?
SkinPen should not be used on patients who have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s); open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s); an allergy to stainless steel or anesthetics; a hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; are pregnant or nursing; or are currently taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane).
How Much Does It Cost?
Microneedling procedures tend to cost less than the alternatives, due to their non-invasive nature. The cost of SkinPen procedures varies depending on the size and the number of treatment areas. During your consultation, your physician can develop a plan to work within your budget.
What About SkinPen Did the FDA Clear?
Quite a bit. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s clearance covers not only the SkinPen device but the entire protocol. That includes the Skinfuse® Lift HG hydrogel used to protect against abrasion and friction during the treatment, as well as the custom-designed BioSheath to prevent cross contamination.
