A collagen-stimulating treatment designed to improve fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture and overall skin quality for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
SkinPen® microneedling is an advanced collagen induction treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. At La Pelle Studio in Denver, we use FDA-cleared SkinPen technology to create controlled microchannels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and supporting collagen and elastin production.
As the skin heals, this process helps improve skin texture, smoothness, and overall appearance. SkinPen microneedling offers a minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation with relatively little downtime, making it an excellent option for clients seeking natural-looking improvements without more intensive resurfacing treatments.
Our experienced providers customize each SkinPen microneedling treatment in Denver based on your skin concerns, goals, and individual needs. Whether you’re looking to soften the appearance of acne scars, address early signs of aging, or improve overall skin quality, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve healthier-looking skin.
SkinPen® uses precision-controlled microneedles to create tiny microchannels in the skin, activating the body’s natural healing response. This process encourages collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, fine lines, and the appearance of acne scars.
Each SkinPen microneedling treatment at La Pelle Studio is customized to your skin concerns and goals. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize discomfort, and treatment depth is adjusted based on the area being treated.
Most clients experience temporary redness and mild sensitivity following treatment, typically improving within 24–48 hours. As collagen remodeling continues, skin texture and overall appearance can gradually improve over the following weeks and months.
While some improvement may be noticeable after a single session, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results. At La Pelle Studio in the Denver, Colorado area, we’ll develop a personalized SkinPen microneedling plan based on your skin’s needs and desired outcomes.

SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses tiny, controlled needles to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and collagen production. At La Pelle Studio in Denver, we use SkinPen to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and promote smoother, healthier-looking skin.
SkinPen microneedling can help improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. By stimulating collagen remodeling, treatments can improve overall skin smoothness and firmness. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your concerns and determine whether microneedling is an appropriate treatment for your skin.
SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural repair response. This process encourages collagen and elastin production, which can gradually improve skin texture and the appearance of certain scars and wrinkles. Results develop over time as the skin heals and remodels.
Most clients tolerate SkinPen treatments comfortably. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. You may experience a mild scratching or vibrating sensation during treatment, particularly in more sensitive areas.
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and desired results. Many clients benefit from a series of three treatments spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. Acne scarring and more significant texture concerns may require additional sessions. Your La Pelle Studio provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan. To get started, book a free consultation.
SkinPen microneedling generally involves minimal downtime. Most clients experience redness, warmth, and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for the first 24–48 hours. Some redness, dryness, or sensitivity may last several days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to support proper healing.
Some clients notice smoother, more refreshed-looking skin within the first few weeks. However, collagen remodeling takes time, and improvements may continue developing over several months. Results are often more noticeable after completing a recommended series of treatments.
Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults aged 22 and older. By encouraging collagen remodeling, microneedling can help soften the appearance of certain depressed acne scars and improve uneven texture. The degree of improvement depends on scar type, depth, and individual skin response.
SkinPen can be an appropriate option for a wide range of skin tones, including darker complexions. Unlike treatments that rely on targeting pigment with light energy, microneedling works through controlled mechanical stimulation. However, individual risks, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, still need to be evaluated during your consultation.
Both treatments stimulate skin renewal, but they work differently. SkinPen uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that encourage collagen production, typically with less downtime. CO₂ laser resurfacing uses laser energy to remove or remodel skin tissue and may provide more intensive correction for deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring. At La Pelle Studio, we offer both SkinPen microneedling and Tetra PRO CO₂ laser resurfacing, allowing us to recommend the treatment best suited to your goals.
You should generally avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours following treatment, or longer if directed by your provider. Your skin needs time to recover, and applying cosmetics too soon may increase irritation. We’ll provide detailed post-treatment instructions, including when to resume your regular skincare routine.
Yes. SkinPen microneedling can be used on the neck when clinically appropriate to address concerns such as fine lines and uneven texture. La Pelle Studio offers neck treatments as an add-on to eligible facial microneedling services. Your provider will determine whether this area is suitable for treatment.
SkinPen may not be appropriate for individuals with active skin infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions, impaired wound healing, or other medical contraindications. Treatment may also need to be postponed if you have active breakouts, irritated skin, or have recently undergone certain aesthetic procedures. We’ll review your medical history and skin condition before recommending treatment.
Before your appointment, avoid excessive sun exposure and follow any instructions regarding exfoliating products, retinoids, or other potentially irritating skincare ingredients. Arrive with clean skin when possible, and let your provider know about recent treatments, medications, or changes in your skin. You’ll receive personalized preparation instructions before your session.
