Microneedling Skinpen in Houston
Smoother skin starts with your skin's natural renewal process. SkinPen offers a minimally invasive way to improve texture, acne scars, and fine lines while boosting collagen. At BCRN Aesthetics in Houston, founder Bri Collins, MSN, FNP-C, and medical director Dr. Young Cho provide medically supervised treatments designed around your needs.
What Is Microneedling SkinPen?
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. These trigger your body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production.
This treatment can improve acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality with minimal downtime. Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, SkinPen works with your skin’s natural repair process for gradual, natural-looking improvement.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your skin is cleansed before a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The SkinPen device is then guided across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels at customized depths.
Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Afterward, your provider reviews aftercare instructions and recommends skincare products that support healing.
What Happens During Recovery
Most patients experience mild redness for one to two days, similar to a light sunburn. Temporary swelling, dryness, or tightness may also occur.
For the best recovery:
- Skip makeup for 24 hours.
- Avoid direct sun exposure.
- Keep your skin hydrated.
- Pause harsh skincare products.
- Follow your aftercare instructions.
Initial improvement is often visible within days, while collagen continues developing over the following weeks. A series of treatments may provide the best results.
The Benefits
- Improves skin tone & texture
- Works well on all skin tones
- Minimizes pore size
- Alleviates wrinkles & fine lines
