SkinPen Microneedling in Chestnut Hill, MA

What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

Microneedling with the SkinPen uses a series of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for healthy, resilient skin. Often performed alongside complementary treatments such as vitamin serums, a DSE rejuvenation mask, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling may help minimize the appearance of scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. Schedule a consultation at Neem Medical Spa to learn more about microneedling and how the treatment can be tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals.

For those whose over-the-counter skincare routines are no longer delivering results but who prefer to avoid surgery, minimally invasive treatments like microneedling offer a compelling middle ground.

Our team at Neem Medical Spa's Chestnut Hill location is pleased to offer this collagen induction therapy to patients in the area.

Ideal Candidates

You may be a good candidate for microneedling if you have mild complexion concerns such as reduced firmness or uneven skin texture. Collagen induction therapy may also improve the visible appearance of pores, scars, and stretch marks. Patience is important with this treatment. It typically takes a month or longer for collagen and elastin production to generate noticeable changes in the skin. The results, however, are natural-looking and come with the added benefit of healthier, stronger skin overall.

Ask About Our Time Machine

What if we told you we could help you look five years younger? With four to six of our "Time Machine" treatments, a combination of microneedling and laser facials, it may be possible to visibly roll back years of aging from your skin. Laser facials, also known as laser skin resurfacing, target wrinkles and surface irregularities such as blemishes and acne scars by heating the deeper layers of skin to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and resurface the complexion for a smoother, fresher appearance.

When microneedling and laser facials are combined, antioxidants are driven deeper into the skin, accelerating collagen regeneration and producing more visible results than either treatment delivers on its own. This combination is particularly effective for patients dealing with acne scars, uneven texture, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, or enlarged pores.

Treatment Technique

Microneedling collagen induction therapy is performed in one of our procedure rooms and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment, though please let our team know if you have any concerns beforehand. The skin is thoroughly cleansed before the SkinPen handpiece is passed evenly across the treatment area. Once microneedling is complete, additional treatments such as PRP, a DSE mask, or a vitamin-infused serum may be applied to take advantage of the enhanced absorption the microchannels provide. A moisturizer suited to your skin type is applied at the end, along with sun protection, as treated skin will be more sensitive following the procedure.

What To Expect

Some mild redness and swelling after your microneedling session is normal and typically resolves within a day. Meaningful changes in the appearance and health of your skin generally become visible after one to two months as collagen and elastin levels build. For the best long-term results, four to six follow-up sessions spaced every four to six weeks are recommended.
