What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural wound-healing response, prompting a surge of new collagen and elastin production that rebuilds and renews your skin from within.

At Sanjiva Medical Spa, we exclusively use the SkinPen® Precision system is the first and only microneedling device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for both facial acne scars and neck wrinkles (510(k) K202243). SkinPen’s advanced technology features:

  • Adjustable needle depth (0.25mm to 2.5mm): Allowing precise customization for different skin concerns and treatment areas.
  • Single-use, sterile needle cartridges: Eliminating any risk of cross-contamination between patients.
  • BioSheath™ safety barrier: A patented protective cover that prevents fluids from entering the device body during treatment.
  • Anti-drag technology: Smooth, consistent needle insertion that minimizes discomfort and ensures even results.

Unlike non-FDA-cleared microneedling devices, SkinPen has been validated by rigorous clinical studies — with 90% of trial patients recommending the treatment for acne scars, and 94% reporting visible improvement in neck wrinkles after just one month.

Microneedling may not be suitable if you have active acne breakouts, active skin infections, certain bleeding disorders, or have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past six months. During your complimentary consultation at Sanjiva Medical Spa, Dr. Guntipalli’s team will evaluate your skin and medical history to determine if SkinPen microneedling is the right treatment for you.

Benefits of Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns in a single session. At Sanjiva Medical Spa in Dallas, patients consistently achieve:

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

One of the greatest advantages of SkinPen microneedling is that it is safe for all skin types and all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI). Because microneedling is a non-thermal, non-chemical treatment, it does not carry the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur with some laser and chemical peel procedures — making it an excellent option for patients with darker or more sensitive skin.

You may be an ideal candidate for microneedling if you are experiencing:

  • Acne scars (boxcar, rolling, or ice-pick)
  • Fine lines and wrinkles on the face or neck
  • Enlarged pores and rough skin texture
  • Dull, uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Stretch marks on the body
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Surgical scars or other types of scarring

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment in Dallas

Your SkinPen microneedling experience at Sanjiva Medical Spa is designed for comfort, precision, and optimal results:

Step 1: Cleanse and Numb

Your provider thoroughly cleanses your skin and applies a professional-strength topical numbing cream. The cream takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes to fully take effect, ensuring your comfort throughout the treatment.

Step 2: Microneedling Treatment

Once your skin is numb, your provider selects the ideal needle depth for each treatment zone and begins gliding the SkinPen handpiece across your skin in controlled, systematic passes. If you are combining your treatment with PRP or exosomes, the regenerative serum is applied to your skin during the needling process to maximize absorption through the freshly created micro-channels. The treatment itself typically takes 30 to 45 minutes for a full face.

Step 3: Soothe and Protect

After treatment, your provider applies a calming hyaluronic acid serum or your PRP/exosome preparation to help soothe the skin and lock in the benefits. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions before you leave.

Microneedling Recovery and Downtime

SkinPen microneedling offers one of the shortest recovery periods of any skin rejuvenation treatment. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Here’s what to expect:

Day 1 (Treatment Day): Your skin will appear red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal. You may notice slight swelling, particularly around the eyes and forehead. Avoid touching your face, applying makeup, or using any active skincare products.

Day 2: Redness begins to fade. Your skin may feel tight, slightly dry, or mildly itchy as the healing process begins. You can gently cleanse with a mild cleanser and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work.

Days 3–5: Light flaking or peeling may occur as the outermost layer of skin sheds. This is a sign that new skin is forming beneath. Do not pick or exfoliate. Continue gentle cleansing and moisturizing.

Days 5–7: Peeling is complete. Your skin looks visibly smoother, brighter, and more refined. Light makeup can be applied.

Weeks 2–4: Continued improvement in texture, pore size, and overall glow as collagen production ramps up.

Months 1–6: Collagen remodeling continues. Acne scars continue to soften, skin firmness improves, and the full benefits of your treatment become visible. Clinical studies show skin continues improving for up to six months after a single SkinPen session.

Aftercare Tips for Best Results

  • Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week
  • Avoid retinoids, glycolic acid, vitamin C serums, and other actives for 72 hours post-treatment
  • Keep skin hydrated with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
  • Do not exercise or sweat heavily for 24 to 48 hours
  • Use medical-grade skincare products recommended by your provider to boost collagen production and speed healing.

Microneedling Results: Before and After

Microneedling delivers progressive, natural-looking results that build with each session. Patients at Sanjiva Medical Spa typically notice:

  • Smoother, more even skin texture within the first week
  • Visible reduction in acne scar depth after 2 to 3 sessions
  • Smaller, less visible pores within 2 to 4 weeks
  • Brighter, more radiant complexion that continues to improve for months
  • Firmer skin with improved elasticity by the 3-to-6-month mark.
  • For optimal results, we recommend a series of three SkinPen microneedling sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Many patients then schedule maintenance treatments every six to twelve months to sustain their collagen gains and keep their skin looking its best.

Enhancement Add-Ons

Add-On

What It Does

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Your body’s own concentrated growth factors boost collagen production and accelerate healing. Ideal for acne scars and under-eye rejuvenation.

Exosome Therapy

Next-generation regenerative medicine. Exosomes deliver billions of growth factors, peptides, and cytokines to supercharge cellular repair — faster healing and more dramatic results than PRP alone.

Ask about PRP and exosome pricing during your complimentary consultation. Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit.

Microneedling with PRP:

For patients seeking enhanced results, we offer SkinPen microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is derived from a small sample of your own blood. The plasma is rich in growth factors, cytokines, and proteins that accelerate healing, amplify collagen production, and enhance the overall rejuvenating effects of microneedling.

During your SkinPen treatment, the micro-channels created by the needles allow PRP to penetrate deeply into the dermis — far more effectively than topical application alone. The growth factors in PRP then supercharge your skin’s natural repair process, leading to faster healing, more dramatic scar improvement, and a more luminous result.

 

The PRP microneedling combination is especially effective for:

  • Moderate to severe acne scarring
  • Stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma
  • Patients seeking accelerated healing and faster visible results
  • Under-eye hollows and dark circles  

 

Microneedling with Exosomes:

For patients who want the most advanced regenerative option available, Sanjiva Medical Spa offers microneedling with exosome therapy — a cutting-edge treatment that goes beyond what PRP alone can achieve.

Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles packed with billions of growth factors, peptides, messenger RNA, and cytokines that communicate directly with your skin cells at the molecular level. When applied through the micro-channels created by SkinPen, exosomes deliver a concentrated regenerative signal that accelerates collagen synthesis, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster, more complete tissue repair.

Patients who choose the exosome add-on typically experience:

  • Noticeably faster recovery with less redness and swelling
  • More dramatic improvement in skin texture and scar reduction
  • Enhanced results that build more quickly than microneedling alone or microneedling with PRP
  • A powerful anti-inflammatory effect that calms sensitive or reactive skin

Exosome therapy is especially beneficial for patients with deeper acne scarring, those who want to maximize results from each session, or anyone looking for the most advanced regenerative skin treatment available in Dallas.

What Areas can Microneedling Treat?

While the face is the most common treatment area, SkinPen microneedling is effective on virtually any area of the body where you want to improve skin texture, reduce scars, or stimulate collagen:

  • Full face (most popular)
  • Neck and décolletage (chest)
  • Under-eye area (with shallow depth settings)
  • Hands
  • Abdomen (especially for stretch marks)
  • Thighs and buttocks
  • Arms
  • Back (for acne scarring)

During your consultation, we’ll recommend the ideal treatment areas and needle depth settings based on your specific skin concerns.

Microneedling for Men in Dallas

Microneedling isn’t just for women. At Sanjiva Medical Spa, a growing number of our male patients are turning to SkinPen microneedling to improve their skin without the downtime or obvious appearance of more aggressive treatments.

The most common concerns men bring to us include acne scarring from teenage or adult breakouts, rough or uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging. Microneedling addresses all of these effectively, and because the treatment works by triggering your body’s own collagen production rather than removing layers of skin, the recovery is subtle — most men are back to their normal routine the next day. Men’s skin tends to be thicker and oilier than women’s, which actually makes it respond well to microneedling. Our providers adjust the needle depth and number of passes to account for these differences, ensuring every male patient gets results tailored to their skin type

FAQs: SkinPen Microneedling

IN DALLAS, TX

At Sanjiva Medical Spa, SkinPen microneedling starts at $450 for face, $600 for face and neck, and $700 for face, neck, and décolletage. First-time patients receive 20% off. Packages of three or more sessions receive 10% off per session. PRP and exosome add-ons are available at additional cost. 

Most patients describe SkinPen microneedling as very tolerable. We apply a professional-strength topical numbing cream 20 to 40 minutes before treatment, which minimizes sensation to a mild prickling or light scratching feeling. Deeper treatments for scarring may involve slightly more sensation, but your provider will ensure your comfort throughout.

Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience sunburn-like redness for 24 to 48 hours and can return to work the next day. Light peeling may occur on days 3 through 5. You can typically apply makeup within 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

For optimal results, we recommend a series of three SkinPen treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Patients with deeper acne scars or more advanced skin concerns may benefit from additional sessions. Many patients then schedule maintenance treatments every six to twelve months to sustain results.

Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared and clinically proven safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I through VI), including darker skin tones. Because microneedling is non-thermal and non-chemical, it carries a significantly lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to laser treatments and chemical peels.

SkinPen microneedling effectively treats acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture and tone, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, stretch marks, mild skin laxity, surgical scars, and neck wrinkles.

Absolutely. Combining SkinPen microneedling with PRP or exosome therapy significantly enhances results. PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to boost collagen and accelerate healing. Exosomes go further, delivering billions of regenerative signaling molecules for faster recovery and more dramatic improvement. Learn more about our PRP facial treatments and exosome facial microneedling.

Microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled physical micro-injuries, while chemical peels exfoliate the skin’s surface using acids. Microneedling is more effective for deeper scarring and is safe for all skin tones, whereas certain chemical peels can carry higher risk for darker skin types. Many patients benefit from alternating between microneedling and peels as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Microneedling uses physical micro-needles to stimulate collagen with minimal downtime (1–2 days) and is safe for all skin tones. Laser resurfacing (like Halo) uses light energy for deeper resurfacing with more dramatic results but longer recovery (3–7 days). For many patients, alternating between microneedling and laser treatments provides the best of both worlds. Your provider can recommend the ideal approach during your consultation.

You’ll notice smoother, more radiant skin within the first week after treatment. However, the most significant improvements develop over the following one to six months as new collagen matures. Clinical studies show that skin continues to improve for up to six months after a single SkinPen session, with each additional treatment building on the results of the last.

Yes. Sanjiva Medical Spa is a Top Authorized SkinPen Provider in Dallas. We use only genuine SkinPen Precision devices and single-use sterile cartridges sourced directly from Crown Aesthetics. This ensures proper calibration, device maintenance, and product authenticity — giving you the safest, most effective microneedling treatment available.
