SkinPen Microneedling in Reno, NV

SkinPen Microneedling is an FDA-cleared collagen induction treatment that uses a medical-grade device to create controlled microchannels in the skin.
These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Over time, this process improves skin texture, softens acne scars, refines pores, and enhances overall skin quality.
SkinPen is a safe, minimally invasive option for patients seeking meaningful skin improvement without laser resurfacing.

SkinPen Microneedling improves texture and tone by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.
Benefits may include:
• Improvement in acne scars
• Softening of fine lines and early wrinkles
• Smoother texture and refined pores
• Brighter, more even-looking skin
• Gradual, natural collagen remodeling
• Minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments
Results develop progressively as new collagen forms and strengthens the skin’s structure.

Most patients benefit from a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Deeper acne scarring or more advanced texture concerns may require additional sessions. Because collagen remodeling takes time, improvement builds gradually with each treatment.
Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help preserve results and support ongoing collagen production.

Healthy adults looking to improve acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, or overall skin quality are typically good candidates.
SkinPen is safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI and is appropriate for patients seeking collagen stimulation without the downtime associated with laser resurfacing.
A consultation at Posh Medical in Reno is required to evaluate your skin, goals, and medical history before proceeding.

SkinPen Microneedling may not be appropriate if you:
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have active skin infections, cold sores, or open wounds
• Have a history of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing
• Are currently using isotretinoin or recently completed therapy
• Have uncontrolled autoimmune conditions
• Are on blood thinners without physician clearance

Your provider will review your full medical history during consultation to determine eligibility and ensure safe treatment.

You may be advised to discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids, and active skincare approximately one week prior to treatment. Avoid sun exposure and tanning.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. If you have a history of cold sores, preventative antiviral medication may be recommended.
Detailed pre-treatment instructions will be reviewed during your consultation.

Topical numbing cream is applied to maintain comfort.
The SkinPen device is passed across the treatment area to create controlled microchannels at customized depths based on your skin concerns. Most patients describe the sensation as mild vibration with light pressure.
Treatment time is typically about 60 minutes depending on the area treated.

Redness similar to a moderate sunburn is expected for 24–72 hours.
Mild swelling, dryness, or flaking may occur around days 3–5 as the skin renews itself. A temporary “tight” or slightly rough texture is normal during healing.
Makeup is typically avoided for 24 hours. Strict daily SPF and gentle skincare are essential to protect and support your results.
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–3 days.

Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within 1–2 weeks.
Collagen remodeling continues for up to 3 months after each session, leading to gradual improvement in texture, firmness, and overall skin quality. Results appear natural because they are driven by your body’s own collagen response.
Optimal improvement typically requires a series of treatments. Individual results vary based on baseline skin condition, age, lifestyle, and adherence to aftercare.
