Boost Collagen Production and Reverse Aging

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process. Using precise micro-needles, it creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin production—two key proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin. At Holländer Clinic, SkinPen microneedling in Santa Monica is one of our top treatments for refining texture, softening scars, and restoring healthy tone with little downtime.

How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?

At Holländer Clinic, SkinPen microneedling in Santa Monica uses a pen-like device with sterile, ultra-fine needles to create thousands of precise microchannels in the skin. These tiny injuries don’t cause damage—they activate your body’s natural healing process to encourage renewal from within.

In response, your skin produces more collagen and elastin—proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful. This helps renew the skin from within, gradually reducing scars, fine lines, and uneven texture while improving overall tone and radiance with minimal downtime.

Amplify the Results of SkinPen Microneedling

Overview

While SkinPen microneedling already stimulates powerful skin renewal on its own, certain add-ons can elevate your results even further. These enhancements work with microneedling to accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and deliver deeper hydration or regeneration. At Holländer Clinic, we tailor each treatment plan based on your skin’s specific needs.

PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that promote cell regeneration and healing. When applied after microneedling, PRP seeps into the microchannels created in the skin, helping to stimulate collagen more effectively, accelerate recovery, and improve overall tone and texture. This natural boost enhances your skin’s radiance while supporting a healthier, firmer appearance.

PRFM

Platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) is an advanced form of PRP that stays active in the skin longer, thanks to its fibrin scaffold. This creates a slower release of growth factors, prolonging and deepening the regenerative effects. When paired with microneedling, PRFM helps improve skin structure, refine texture, and soften deeper lines or scars, making it an ideal option for those seeking enhanced longevity and skin quality.

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®

SKINVIVE is a microdroplet hyaluronic acid injectable that hydrates from within. When combined with microneedling in a curated treatment plan, it helps plump and smooth the skin’s surface while restoring a youthful glow. Unlike traditional fillers, SKINVIVE improves skin quality rather than volume, making it a perfect complement to the collagen-stimulating effects of SkinPen for a dewy, refreshed complexion.

Topical Exosomes

Exosomes are tiny messengers derived from stem cells that carry growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants. When applied topically after microneedling, they penetrate more deeply through the microchannels, accelerating skin repair and boosting cellular renewal. This regenerative technology helps reduce inflammation, promote even tone, and support collagen synthesis—enhancing the overall rejuvenating effects of SkinPen.

SkinPen Microneedling FAQs

Is SkinPen Microneedling Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes, SkinPen is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be safe for all skin tones and types, including darker skin. Unlike laser treatments that may increase the risk of hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin, microneedling does not use heat, making it safe for a wide range of patients. At Holländer Clinic, we always assess your skin to ensure this treatment is the right fit for you.

Is There Any Downtime After SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling involves minimal downtime, but you can expect some redness and mild swelling for the first 24 to 72 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients resume normal activities the following day, though we advise avoiding sun exposure, makeup, and intense workouts for the first 24 hours to support optimal healing.

When Will I See the Results From SkinPen Microneedling?

You may notice a healthy glow and smoother texture within a week, but collagen remodeling continues over time. Most patients begin to see significant improvement in skin tone, firmness, and scar reduction around four to six weeks after their first treatment.

How Many SkinPen Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions depends on your individual skin concerns. Many people see noticeable improvement after just one treatment, but a series of three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results—especially for deeper acne scars, fine lines, or uneven texture. We’ll create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals.
