Reveal smoother, more refined skin with microneedling at Skin Theory. Just across the border in Tijuana, we use the SkinPen® device to boost collagen production and treat acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture with minimal downtime.
Rebuild Smoother Skin From Within
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that awakens your skin’s natural ability to renew itself. Using ultra-fine needles to create tiny, controlled channels, it encourages fresh collagen and elastin production beneath the surface. Over time, this renewal can soften acne scars and fine lines, refine enlarged pores, and improve uneven texture for smoother, firmer skin.
Microneedling Treats These Concerns:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Uneven skin tone
- Mild skin laxity
- Reduced firmness and elasticity
- Visible signs of sun damage
- Dull, lackluster skin
How Skinpen Microneedling Works
SkinPen uses tiny, precisely controlled needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in your skin without causing significant damage. Your body recognizes these channels as tiny injuries and begins its natural repair process, producing fresh collagen and elastin. As this supportive tissue rebuilds over time, acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture can gradually become less noticeable.
Amplify Your Results With PRP
PRP takes microneedling a step further by using concentrated platelets from a small sample of your own blood. Rich in natural growth factors, PRP is applied to the treated skin to support its repair and renewal response. When combined with SkinPen microneedling, PRP can enhance collagen production and promote a smoother texture, improved tone, and an overall refreshed, healthier-looking complexion, leading to potentially better results faster.

FAQs
How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?
Your ideal treatment series depends on what you’re addressing. Some patients choose three or more sessions spaced several weeks apart, particularly when treating acne scars or noticeable textural concerns. Your provider can recommend a schedule based on how your skin responds.
When Will I See My Microneedling Results?
Your complexion may look fresher once the initial redness subsides, but collagen renewal takes time. Improvements in texture, firmness, and scars typically develop gradually over the following weeks and months as your skin continues rebuilding its underlying support.
Does SkinPen Microneedling Hurt?
Most patients describe the treatment as manageable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to improve comfort. However, you may notice pressure, vibration, or a scratching sensation as SkinPen passes across different areas of your skin.
What Should I Expect After Microneedling?
Redness is common and can make your complexion resemble a mild-to-moderate sunburn. You may also experience temporary dryness, tightness, tenderness, or mild swelling. These side effects generally improve as your skin moves through its natural renewal process.
How Much Downtime Will I Need?
Downtime is usually relatively limited, although recovery varies with treatment intensity and your skin. You’ll need to follow your provider’s guidance regarding skincare, makeup, exercise, heat, and sun exposure while the microscopic channels close and your skin settles.
