SkinPen Microneedling in Lexington, MA
Stimulate collagen. Improve skin quality.
SkinPen microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, creates controlled microchannels in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and support new collagen and elastin production. This medical microneedling treatment can improve skin texture, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and visible sun damage.
Studies have shown that a series of microneedling treatments can increase collagen production by up to 400%. Collagen is a key structural protein that helps give skin its firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance. At Stellar Medical Aesthetics, every SkinPen treatment includes the face and neck for a comprehensive approach, with additional areas, including scars on the body, treated when appropriate.
Each treatment also includes a complete post-procedure aftercare kit to support healing and optimize results. SkinPen may be performed on its own or combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which uses concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood to support tissue repair and collagen production.

Collagen Induction Therapy / Medical Microneedling FAQs
-
SkinPen Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that combines the benefits of microneedling with the healing and regenerative properties of PRP. The SkinPen device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production, while PRP, derived from your own blood, is applied to enhance the healing process and boost skin rejuvenation.
-
The treatment begins with drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed to extract the PRP. The SkinPen device is used to create tiny micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response. PRP is then applied to the treated area, allowing the growth factors in the PRP to penetrate deeply and promote collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and tone.
-
SkinPen Microneedling with PRP can address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, large pores, uneven skin texture, and stretch marks. It is suitable for all skin types and provides a natural, youthful glow by enhancing the skin's overall health and appearance.
-
During the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort, but a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize any pain. After the treatment, you may experience redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, and visible improvements in skin texture and tone can be seen within a few weeks.
-
The number of treatments required varies depending on your skin condition and desired results. Generally, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Your skincare professional will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help sustain the results.
