SkinPen Microneedling Treatment

SkinPen is the only FDA-approved microneedling device that works to remodel the skin by creating temporary microscopic channels in your skin. This simple procedure activates your body’s natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier, more youthful appearance.

What is the difference between SkinPen and Morpheus8?

SkinPen delivers microneedles without additional energy. It creates micro‑injuries at superficial levels that boost collagen and skin renewal. It's ideal for surface texture issues, acne scars, and fine lines. Morpheus8, on the other hand, combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered deep into the dermis. This dual-action approach tightens sagging skin, improves texture, and treats deeper wrinkles—all with minimal downtime. It’s more suitable for moderate laxity and deeper structural concerns.
