SkinPen microneedling procedure

Collagen Induction Therapy

WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING OR COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY?

When home skin products aren't effective, but you don't want surgery, learn more about nonsurgical procedures for skin rejuvenation, like SkinPen® microneedling. Nurse Practitioner Briana Torrey is pleased to perform microneedling (collagen induction therapy) at her office in Weymouth, MA. SkinPen microneedling uses multiple fine-gauge needles to effectively and safely create micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin.

The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that enhance the appearance and health of your skin. Easily combined with other treatments, such as serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), microneedling may help reduce scars, stretch marks, and pores. You can schedule a consultation at Brisa Aesthetics to hear more about the benefits of microneedling and ways to personalize your procedure for your skin concerns and goals.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING?

At Brisa Aesthetics, we provide microneedling for people who wish to gain a variety of advantages:

  • Safe, noninvasive procedure choice
  • Enhanced smoothness and look of complexion
  • Diminished appearance of wrinkles, lines, and age signs
  • Reduction of scars, pigmentation issues, or stretch marks

IS MICRONEEDLING RIGHT FOR ME?

You could benefit from microneedling if you experience slight or mild skin issues, like a decrease in elasticity or rough skin texture. Microneedling procedures may also minimize the appearance of pores, scars, and stretch marks. You must be willing to wait before seeing benefits from your microneedling treatment because the elastin and collagen will need some time to impact the complexion, but you will have natural-looking results and gain healthier overall skin.

HOW DOES SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING WORK?

SkinPen microneedling is completed in a private treatment room in about 30 – 60 minutes with local anesthesia or numbing cream if desired; however, most patients generally report little or no discomfort. The areas of skin being treated will be cleaned before the microneedling handpiece is evenly passed over. After the microneedling is performed, a treatment like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a vitamin-infused serum may be applied for deeper penetration of the nutrients into the skin. A moisturizer will be massaged in along with sun protection because the treated skin will be more sensitive following the procedure.

What does microneedling help improve?
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) is commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, uneven texture, and overall tone by supporting the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
How long is downtime after microneedling?
Most people experience redness and mild swelling that typically settles over several days. Your exact recovery depends on your skin, depth of treatment, and any add-ons (like PRP). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream is commonly used, and most patients report mild to moderate sensation rather than significant pain. Comfort varies by area and sensitivity.
How many treatments will I need?
Many clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, since collagen remodeling takes time. Your plan is personalized based on concerns (texture, scars, pores) and goals.
Is SkinPen FDA-cleared?
The SkinPen® Precision System has FDA clearance for improving the appearance of facial acne scars in adults (per its cleared indication). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Who should avoid microneedling?
If you’re prone to poor wound healing, have active infection, certain inflammatory skin conditions, or are on specific medications, microneedling may not be appropriate. We’ll review your history and skin in consultation before recommending treatment.
