Wondering how you can benefit from microneedling? At Linwood and Haddonfield’s Sood Center for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we perform collagen induction therapy using SkinPen, an FDA-cleared microneedling device designed for precision and consistency. During this minimally invasive procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Your body responds with natural collagen induction and remodeling, often called skin needling, helping improve the look of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and overall tone. By stimulating new collagen and elastin, microneedling can thicken and firm skin, soften the appearance of scars and fine lines, and reduce pore size. It also improves penetration of topical treatments, which can help fade hyperpigmentation and improve the appearance of stretch marks over time.
A session typically begins with topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Most treatments take about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area. Because it’s a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime, many patients return to normal routines the next day. You may notice a sun-kissed redness for 24 to 48 hours, followed by gradual radiance as new collagen forms over the following weeks.
For best results, we usually recommend a series of sessions spaced about four weeks apart. SkinPen’s uniform depth and speed settings help us personalize your cosmetic treatment plan while maintaining consistency from visit to visit.
For an added boost, consider pairing microneedling with topical exosomes. These advanced, cell-derived messengers are rich in growth factors and signaling molecules, and when applied during SkinPen microneedling, they can penetrate more effectively to support the skin’s natural repair process. This combination may help enhance overall radiance, improve texture, and promote a smoother, more refreshed appearance—making it a popular medspa add-on for patients looking to elevate their results.
Microneedling helps address fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and texture. Most people describe mild pressure or a scratching sensation thanks to topical numbing. Downtime is typically minimal, with redness usually resolving within a day or two. Many skin types can benefit, and we’ll confirm candidacy and develop a tailored plan during your consultation.
SkinPen is FDA-cleared, and at our practice, we emphasize safety, hygiene, and personalized settings so your skin receives the right amount of stimulation. As a minimally invasive procedure, microneedling fits well into a broader skincare plan and can be combined with medical-grade topicals to support recovery. Results vary, but most people notice a refreshed glow within weeks and continued improvement as collagen strengthens over time.
