A small hand-held, automatic device that contains tiny micro-needles is passed over the skin, creating tiny micro-wounds, or channels, on the skin. During the body’s natural wound-healing process of these channels, collagen and elastin are automatically produced.
Recovery
After the treatment, your skin will be slightly pink and feel slightly sunburned. For most people, your skin will completely recover in 24–72 hours. Your body’s collagen production usually takes about 4–8 weeks, so you will continue to see improvements over this time.
The Process
SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the only microneedling device in the world cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, clinically proven to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up.
With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence.
Microneedles trigger the body’s natural skin remodeling process that increases epidermal thickness, stimulates the extracellular matrix, and reduces inflammation. Translation: Microneedles by Bellus Medical fool your body into sending more restorative collagens and elastin than the area needs. That, when used with our post-procedure protocol Skinfuse®, improves your appearance more than is strictly necessary. Much more.

Little to Zero Downtime
The SkinPen Precision system is the only Class II, FDA-cleared microneedling devise legally marketed in the U.S.
The SkinPen microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.
Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.
The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, as well as a temporary (type III) collagen and elastin, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
The wound has been replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels. The type III collagen in the newly formed tissue is replaced with stronger type I collagen, which can contract to create a tightening or “shrink wrap” effect on the skin.
Fraxel can help with the scarring and discoloration that can occur from acne. Fraxel will help with collagen induction to help smooth out the surface of the skin. It can also pick up pigmentation that can result from the scarring.
our physician may recommend a course of procedures based on your individual goals. Maintenance of your procedure might require multiple treatments.
Based on your needs, your physician will likely apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area.
The treatment will likely take 30 minutes to one hour.
Most patients report feeling only the slight vibration of SkinPen during the procedure.
The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common treatment responses experienced were dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness, and burning. These conditions resolved over time without any further complications. Please see patient labeling for detailed safety information.
