SkinPen Microneedling in Austin

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create microscopic channels in the skin. This stimulates your body's natural collagen and elastin production, gradually improving skin texture, tone, acne scars, fine lines, and pore size. SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, and treatments are performed at Revelus Dermatology by a licensed provider.

benefits of microneedling

SkinPen microneedling addresses a range of skin concerns by working with your skin’s natural repair process rather than removing tissue.

  • Soften the appearance of acne scars and post-inflammatory marks
  • Reduce fine lines and superficial wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
  • Minimize enlarged pores and improve overall skin texture
  • Even out skin tone and address areas of mild hyperpigmentation
  • Improve skin firmness with a non-ablative approach and minimal downtime
  • Results that build over time, improving with each session in the series

Most patients complete a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results continue to develop for up to 6 months as collagen remodeling progresses.

microneedling + prp

For patients looking to enhance their results, SkinPen microneedling can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP is derived from your own blood and applied during treatment, delivering growth factors directly into the microchannels created by the SkinPen device. This combination is a good option for patients focused on skin repair, acne scarring, or accelerating overall skin renewal.

Ask your provider whether the SkinPen + PRP combination is right for your goals.

what to expect from skinpen microneedling

before your treatment

Your provider will ask you to discontinue retinoids and avoid neurotoxins, fillers, and IPL for the appropriate lead time. On treatment day, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied for about 20 minutes before the session begins.

during treatment

The SkinPen device is moved systematically across the area, creating microscopic channels that trigger your skin’s repair response. Most patients describe the sensation as mild vibration or pressure. Sessions take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

after treatment

Immediately after, your provider will apply a biocellulose calming mask in office. You will also go home with a calming complex to support healing over the next few days. Expect redness and mild swelling for 1 to 3 days. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with makeup cleared for use by around day 4.

common microneedling questions

FAQ
how much does microneedling cost in austin?

The cost of microneedling at Revelus Dermatology depends on the treatment area and whether enhancements like PRP are included. Single sessions are generally priced in the several-hundred-dollar range. Because most patients require a series of 3 to 6 treatments, many consider series pricing or financing options to manage the overall investment. Contact us for current pricing at your consultation.

how many microneedling treatments will i need?

Most patients start with a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the concern being treated and how your skin responds. After completing the initial series, 1 to 2 maintenance sessions per year are typically recommended to sustain results.

is microneedling good for acne scars?

Yes. SkinPen microneedling is one of the most commonly used treatments for acne scarring. The controlled micro-injuries created during treatment stimulate collagen remodeling, which gradually softens the appearance of depressed or textural scars. Results are progressive and typically require a series of sessions. Your provider will assess your scarring at consultation and set realistic expectations for your outcome.

what is the difference between microneedling and rf microneedling?

Standard microneedling, like SkinPen, uses fine needles to stimulate collagen through controlled micro-injuries. RF (radiofrequency) microneedling, such as Secret RF, adds heat energy delivered through the needles to further tighten tissue and address skin laxity. RF microneedling tends to have more downtime and is often recommended for patients with laxity concerns in addition to texture or scarring. Your provider can help you determine which approach fits your goals.

does microneedling hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration rather than sharp pain. A topical anesthetic is applied for approximately 20 minutes before treatment to improve comfort. Sensitivity varies by area, and your provider can adjust treatment settings based on your tolerance.

what should i do to prepare for microneedling?

In the week before your appointment, discontinue retinoids, hydroquinone, and skin-lightening products, and avoid waxing, threading, or other hair removal methods in the treatment area. Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, NSAIDs, and fish oil for 7 days before, if medically appropriate. Avoid neurotoxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) and IPL treatments for 4 to 6 weeks prior, and dermal fillers for 2 weeks prior. Do not shave the treatment area on the day of your appointment, and skip makeup. If you have a history of oral herpes (cold sores), let your provider know in advance, as preventative medication may be recommended before facial treatments.

what can i expect after microneedling?

Redness, mild swelling, and warmth are normal immediately after treatment and are similar in appearance to a mild sunburn. Swelling typically peaks the morning after and resolves within 2 to 3 days. Your skin may feel dry, rough, or slightly textured (like sandpaper) as new skin regenerates. A pink or bronzed tone may persist for up to 7 days. Avoid sun exposure, heat, heavy sweating, and active skincare ingredients for at least 72 hours. Makeup can generally be resumed on day 4.

when will i see results from microneedling?

Early improvements in texture and tone may be visible within a few weeks of your first treatment. More significant results, particularly for acne scars and fine lines, typically develop over 4 to 6 months as the collagen remodeling process continues. Results build with each session in the series.

how long do microneedling results last?

With proper maintenance, results from a completed microneedling series can last several years. Skin aging continues over time, so most patients choose to schedule 1 to 2 maintenance sessions per year to preserve their outcome. Daily use of a broad-spectrum zinc-oxide SPF 30 or higher is recommended to protect results.

can microneedling be combined with prp?

Yes. SkinPen microneedling can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for enhanced results. PRP is derived from a small draw of your own blood and applied during treatment, delivering growth factors into the channels created by the SkinPen device. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients focused on acne scarring or overall skin repair. Ask your provider at consultation whether the SkinPen + PRP combination is right for you.
