Collagen Induction

A minimally invasive approach to smoother-looking skin

SkinPen safely creates controlled microinjuries that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production.

Our skilled esthetician uses SkinPen to rejuvenate skin of all types and tones across most areas of the body. This minimally invasive procedure requires only minor downtime and continues to support skin improvement after each treatment.

Because microneedling works through the skin’s natural healing process, treatment can be customized to address several common texture and quality concerns while fitting into a broader professional skin care plan.

30–60 Minutes Typical treatment time, including the microneedling portion of the appointment.
Minor Downtime Many patients return to work within about 24 hours.
4–6 Weeks Treatments may be spaced several weeks apart when a series is recommended.

Plan Your Treatment
What It Treats

Skin concerns that may respond to microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled microinjuries in the skin, stimulating a natural healing process that includes collagen production. This can help improve the appearance of:

Acne Scars
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Poor Texture
Large Pores
Stretch Marks
Personalized SkinPen Options

Microneedling can be paired with selected post-treatment approaches

Your provider will review your medical history, medications, skin condition and treatment goals before recommending whether an additional topical or autologous option is appropriate for your appointment.

Autologous Option

SkinPen Microneedling With PRP

Platelet-rich plasma, commonly called PRP, is prepared using a small sample of your own blood. The sample is processed to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich portion, which may then be paired with your SkinPen treatment according to your personalized treatment plan.

Microneedling with PRP is often considered by patients who want to address visible acne scarring, uneven skin texture, fine lines or an overall loss of radiance.

Because PRP comes from your own blood, it provides an autologous option for patients interested in a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.

Provider-Selected Skincare

SkinPen With PDRN-Based Skincare

PDRN, short for polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a DNA-derived ingredient used in select professional skincare formulations. PDRN-based skincare has gained attention among patients searching for treatments that support hydration and improve the appearance of dry, dull or visibly stressed skin.

When appropriate, a provider-selected PDRN formulation may be applied topically following SkinPen microneedling as part of your post-treatment skincare protocol.

  • Dry or dehydrated-looking skin
  • Dullness and loss of radiance
  • Uneven or rough-looking texture
  • Early visible signs of aging
  • Skin that appears tired or depleted

PDRN formulations can differ significantly in their ingredients and biological sources. We will discuss the specific product being used, its source and whether it is appropriate for your skin before treatment.

Provider-Selected Skincare

SkinPen With Exosome-Based Skincare

Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles involved in communication between cells. Exosome-based ingredients are being incorporated into certain professional skincare products designed for use following aesthetic treatments.

When selected as part of a personalized SkinPen appointment, an exosome-based topical may be applied after microneedling to complement the recommended post-treatment skincare routine. Patients may be interested in this option when their goals include improving the appearance of hydration, radiance, texture and overall skin quality.

Exosome-based products vary in their ingredients, source, formulation and regulatory status. Your provider will evaluate the specific product and discuss whether it is an appropriate cosmetic option for you. Exosome-based skincare is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a medical condition.

Medical Oversight

Skin rejuvenation within a medically guided practice

Microneedling is highly individualized. Your skin condition, medical history, medications, treatment goals and any products used with or after SkinPen should be considered when building your plan.

At Plastic Surgery Center of the South, medical spa care is supported within a practice led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Corey Harkins, with treatment recommendations tailored to the individual patient.

What to Expect

A straightforward treatment with relatively little downtime

01

Numbing & Preparation

We begin by applying a topical numbing medication to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

02

SkinPen Treatment

The procedure lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. As the adjustable device glides over your skin, it creates tiny punctures in the surface. Most people describe the sensation primarily as vibration from the pen.

03

Early Recovery

Your skin will appear pink or red after treatment. You may also experience dryness, tightness and itching. We will provide instructions for caring for your skin during this time.

04

Return to Routine

Many people return to work within about 24 hours, although individual recovery varies according to the treatment and your skin response.

Results & Maintenance

Improvement continues as collagen production progresses

What you may notice

You may see smoother, plumper-looking skin within a week of your first session, with continued improvement for several weeks as your skin produces more collagen.

For the best results, we often recommend multiple treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The lifespan of results varies from patient to patient.

  • Series of treatments may be recommended based on your concerns
  • Sessions are often spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
  • Some patients choose maintenance treatments about every 6 months
