Smooth, Renew, and Brighten Your Skin Naturally

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery in Pasadena, SkinPen® microneedling offers a safe, minimally invasive way to refresh tired, uneven skin. By creating controlled micro-channels, this advanced device activates your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin for smoother texture, firmer tone, and a radiant complexion. Whether your goal is to soften early wrinkles, minimize the appearance of acne scars, or revive dull skin, our Pasadena specialists customize every treatment plan to deliver natural results that restore confidence without disrupting your routine.

What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses ultrafine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries prompt collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of:

  • Fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Uneven tone or rough skin texture
  • Acne scarring and enlarged pores
  • Mild laxity in the face or neck

Unlike lasers or heat-based devices, microneedling works gently through mechanical stimulation, making it safe for most skin types.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for SkinPen microneedling in Pasadena, CA, if you:

  • Are bothered by uneven skin tone, texture, or post-acne marks
  • Want to address fine lines without surgery or extended downtime
  • Prefer a treatment that works with your body’s natural processes
  • Are in good overall health and not pregnant or nursing

During your consultation, our Pasadena team will assess your skin and design a plan tailored to your needs.

How the Treatment Works

Your session begins with a gentle cleanse and topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. The SkinPen device is then guided across the treatment area at precise depths, creating micro-channels that trigger collagen production. Post-treatment, a soothing serum is applied to support skin repair and hydration.

Treatment takes about 30–45 minutes and can be enhanced with add-ons such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or growth-factor serums for amplified results.

Recovery and Results

After microneedling, you may notice temporary redness and tightness (similar to a light sunburn) for 12–24 hours. Mild flaking may occur within a few days, but most patients resume normal routines quickly with gentle skincare and SPF.

  • Immediate: Subtle radiance appears within a week
  • Progressive: Collagen stimulation continues over 4–6 weeks
  • Optimal: Best results achieved with a series of 3–4 sessions spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance a few times per year
