SkinPen Microneedling: A Natural Boost for Smooth, Healthy Skin

When it comes to skincare, we’re all about results that feel as good as they look. That’s why we’re so excited to offer SkinPen® microneedling here at Bare Medical Aesthetics. This treatment is a favorite for good reason—it's safe, minimally invasive, and works with your skin’s natural healing powers to create a smoother, firmer, more radiant complexion.

Whether you're dealing with acne scars, fine lines, or just looking to hit refresh on your skin, SkinPen might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. But let’s break it down a little more—what is SkinPen, how does it work, and is it right for you?

what is skinpen microneedling?

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, and it's designed to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. The treatment uses tiny, medical-grade needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This might sound a little intense (we get it!), but these tiny punctures kickstart your body’s natural collagen and elastin production—the proteins that keep your skin looking youthful, firm, and smooth.

In short, it’s collagen induction therapy. In more simple terms? SkinPen helps your skin repair itself, leading to a brighter, more even complexion over time.

what can skinpen help with?

Microneedling is super versatile. We typically recommend it for:

• Acne scars and other textural concerns - Especially those deeper, pitted scars that stick around long after breakouts fade.

• Fine lines and wrinkles - Around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

• Large pores - By stimulating collagen, pores appear tighter and less noticeable.

• Uneven tone or sun damage - Including melasma and dark spots.

• Overall skin rejuvenation - If your skin just feels dull or tired, microneedling can bring it back to life.

It's safe for all skin types and tones, and treatments can be customized to your skin’s needs.

what happens during a skinpen treatment?

Your SkinPen session at bare. starts with a thorough consultation—we’ll chat about your skin goals and create a plan that makes sense for you. On the day of your treatment, we apply a numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable (most clients say it just feels like a light scratching sensation).

The SkinPen device is gently glided over your skin in a precise pattern. The needles create thousands of controlled microchannels. The actual microneedling takes around 30 minutes. Afterward, your skin might look a bit pink or feel tight—like a mild sunburn—for a day or two. You’ll want to keep things simple with your skincare for a few days post-treatment, and we’ll send you home with everything you need.

what’s the downtime?

The beauty of SkinPen is that the downtime is super minimal. Most clients return to normal activities within 24 hours. Makeup and active skincare products (like retinoids or exfoliants) should be avoided for a couple of days, but gentle cleansers and soothing serums are fair game.

You’ll likely start to notice that signature “post-microneedling glow” within a few days. The more dramatic improvements—like smoother texture, less noticeable scars, or fine line reduction—tend to show up over the next few weeks as your skin produces more collagen.

how many treatments will I need?

This depends on your goals and skin concerns. For general skin rejuvenation, a series of three treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended. For deeper concerns like acne scars, you may benefit from up to six sessions.

Microneedling can also be used as part of your regular skincare routine—many of our clients return for maintenance treatments a few times per year to keep their skin at its best.

want to take your results even further?

If you're looking to enhance the benefits of your SkinPen treatment, consider adding exosomes from AnteAGE® Regenerative Skincare to your microneedling session.

Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles (think: cellular messengers) that deliver powerful growth factors, peptides, and anti-inflammatory signals deep into the skin. When applied during microneedling—while those microchannels are open—they can dramatically boost your skin’s regenerative process from the inside out.

Why do we love them? Because they help take your results to the next level. Adding exosomes can:

• Accelerate recovery by reducing redness and inflammation

• Stimulate deeper collagen and elastin production

• Improve overall texture, tone, and firmness

• Enhance skin clarity and brightness

• Support optimal cell regeneration for long-lasting results

This add-on is ideal if you're targeting more advanced skin concerns, want to minimize downtime, or are simply ready to invest in premium skin rejuvenation.

why we love it (and why you will too)

We’re big believers in treatments that help your body do what it already does—just better. SkinPen microneedling isn’t about adding anything artificial to your skin. It’s about stimulating your natural healing response to build firmer, healthier, more resilient skin. It works with your body, not against it—and that’s something we can absolutely get behind.

Here’s what makes it a Bare favorite:

long-term results you can feel (and see):

This isn’t a one-and-done glow-up. SkinPen builds collagen from within, which means your skin continues improving weeks after your appointment. It’s like investing in your skin’s future—and the payoff is real.

natural, holistic skin health:

We love that SkinPen supports your skin in doing what it naturally does best—healing, strengthening, and renewing itself. It’s a great option if you’re looking to refresh your skin without injectables or want to enhance the results of the treatments you’re already doing. It’s all about creating balance and building a healthy foundation for your skin—whether microneedling is your main focus or part of a bigger routine.

minimal downtime, maximum impact:

In just 24 hours, most of our clients are back to their regular routine. And within a few days? That fresh, smooth, post-treatment radiance starts to kick in. It’s subtle at first—then all of a sudden, your skin just looks better.

totally customizable:

Whether your concerns are scarring, fine lines, dull texture, or just wanting a healthy refresh, SkinPen can be tailored to meet you where you are in your skincare journey. We can even combine it with treatments like PRF or a VI Peel for even more dramatic results.

real confidence boost:

One of the best parts? Seeing our clients leave with their heads held higher. There’s something about feeling good in your own skin that’s hard to explain—but we see it every day, and it’s why we do what we do.
