SkinPen was designed for patients who desire the latest in minimally-invasive procedures to improve their appearance. As a superior microneedling device, SkinPen is approved for use on the face and areas of the body, backed by over 90 validation tests that prove its safety and efficacy.
This advanced microneedling treatment can be used on all skin types, all year-round. Crown Aesthetics now brings you the same clinical efficacy and an even better user experience with SkinPen Precision Elite, the most advanced microneedling device on the market.
Understanding the SkinPen Procedure
A SkinPen microneedling treatment can be performed in approximately 30 minutes, with the duration depending on the area treated and the desired results. Due to their non-invasive nature, microneedling sessions typically require little downtime for patients. When treatments are properly spaced and overseen by a physician, SkinPen can be used effectively for years.
SkinPen Precision is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device approved for use on the face and areas of the body. The procedure involves the device using fine needles to create micro-openings in the skin, which naturally stimulates skin remodeling. These micro-wounds multiply new skin cells to replace damaged ones, while collagen and elastin fibers begin to form, leading to rejuvenated skin.
How SkinPen Works
SkinPen's microneedles pierce the skin, increasing blood flow. Immune cells then work to clean and disinfect the area, setting the stage for repair. The micro-wounds created by SkinPen stimulate the multiplication of new skin cells to replace damaged ones, while collagen and elastin fibers start to form.
Some individuals notice rejuvenated skin after their first SkinPen treatment; however, optimal long-term results are typically observed after four or more treatments. The procedure is designed to deliver results with little to no downtime.
The SkinPen Experience
During the quick, 30-minute treatments, patients typically feel light pressure and a mild buzzing sensation, with minimal discomfort. SkinPen is unique in that it is the only treatment of its kind backed by over 90 validation studies for proven quality, safety, and performance. It helps uncover the true you by naturally renewing your skin from within to restore a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Essential Pre and Post-Treatment Care
Proper "pre" and "post" care are essential to achieving optimal results from your SkinPen Microneedling treatment. If you have any questions after reviewing the provided information, please do not hesitate to contact your clinician.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Please discontinue the use of products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.) 24 hours before your treatment.
- If you have a history of herpes or cold sores, we highly recommend a course of anti-viral medication pre and post-treatment to prevent an outbreak. Cold sores can also occur in individuals not prone to them, especially those with sensitive skin.

- Do not apply anything to the skin for 6-8 hours after treatment.
