The SkinPen Micro-needling at Aesthetica Beauty & Wellness
Sometimes referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), microneedling is a unique, minimally invasive technique that rejuvenates the skin. By creating thousands of tiny micro-injuries in the tissue, microneedling stimulates the natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production, while also encouraging new blood vessel formation in the treatment area. As these building blocks of healthy skin increase, tissue becomes smoother, tighter, and more lifted. Fine lines, dark spots, and scarring are reduced, sometimes even eliminated. The result is radiant, glowing skin. Microneedling is safe and effective for nearly any area, including the face, neck, arms, back, and hands.
At Aesthetica Beauty & Wellness in Springdale, AR, we perform medical microneedling treatments using the SkinPen. This advanced device features tiny, adjustable needles that can be customized to depths ranging from 0.25 to 2.5 mm, offering more consistent results than traditional dermal rollers. As the SkinPen gently glides across the skin, the sterile needles create precise micro-lesions. These punctures, tailored to the desired correction, allow a unique blend of topical ointments or creams to penetrate deeper into the skin, providing maximum hydration and optimal results. In one to two weeks, patients experience fresher, tighter, and more radiant skin.

Before scheduling your microneedling appointment at Aesthetica Beauty & Wellness in Springdale, AR, a private consultation with one of our aestheticians will be arranged. During this time, the provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. The SkinPen treatment process will be explained, along with the pros and cons. If microneedling is right for you, a personalized treatment plan will be developed, including any additional treatments that may optimize your results.
The SkinPen Microneedling Treatment
Each SkinPen session at Aesthetica Beauty & Wellness in Springdale, AR is performed in one of our comfortable, private treatment rooms. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. To ensure a comfortable experience, a topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area before the session begins. Once the area is numbed, the provider glides the SkinPen across the targeted skin, allowing the tiny needles to penetrate the tissue at a predetermined depth. Afterward, a custom-formulated ointment is applied to the area, nourishing the deeper layers of skin for optimal results.
SkinPen Phases of Healing
Phase 1 – Inflammation
As the SkinPen at Aesthetica Beauty & Wellness in Springdale, AR creates tiny micro-injuries, the body’s immune system activates, disinfecting the area, clearing away debris, enhancing blood flow, and beginning the regeneration of new tissue.
Phase 2 – Proliferation
The micro-injuries are then rebuilt with new granulation cells, collagen, and elastin, forming a stronger extracellular matrix. A new network of blood vessels is also created to support the healing process.
Phase 3 – Remodeling
Once the new dermal tissue and blood vessels are established, the body produces stronger Type 1 Collagen, tightening the skin and providing long-lasting protection.
The SkinPen’s Recovery and Results
No downtime is required after a SkinPen session at Aesthetica Beauty & Wellness in Springdale, AR, though the treated area may be slightly red or swollen. Most patients feel well enough to return to work or school the same day, though some prefer to take the day off to rest. The treated area might appear pink and feel tender, similar to a mild sunburn, for about one to four days. Makeup can be applied within 12-24 hours, and normal showering can resume. It’s important to avoid excessive sun exposure during the healing process and to use a high-quality sunscreen. While some patients may notice immediate improvement in their skin's texture and elasticity, it generally takes one to two weeks for healthier skin to fully emerge, with benefits continuing to improve over six months.
For best results, most patients will require between one and three SkinPen sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart.
