Most appointments run 75–90 minutes, including time for the topical numbing cream to take effect before your treatment begins.

Downtime is minimal. Most clients experience mild redness and slight sensitivity for 24–48 hours post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. You can typically return to your normal routine the next day, though we recommend avoiding heavy sweating, direct sun exposure, and active skincare ingredients like retinol for a few days following your appointment.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after just one session, but a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, especially when targeting acne scars or deeper skin concerns. Your esthetician will help customize a treatment plan during your visit.

Comfort levels vary, but most clients find the treatment very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before your session to minimize any discomfort. During treatment, you may feel a mild buzzing or prickling sensation — nothing most clients would describe as painful.

Yes! One of the standout advantages of SkinPen is that it is safe and effective for all skin tones and types, including deeper complexions that may be more sensitive to other resurfacing treatments like chemical peels or lasers.

Before your appointment, avoid retinol, exfoliants, and active skincare ingredients for at least 48 hours. Skip blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin and fish oil if possible (consult your doctor first). After your treatment, keep skin clean and moisturized, wear SPF daily, and avoid direct sun exposure, sweating, and active ingredients for 3–5 days to support proper healing.
