Q: How long until I see results?

What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin.

The SkinPen is the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device, setting it apart from unregulated dermal rollers and non-medical devices. FDA clearance means the SkinPen has been rigorously tested for both safety and clinical effectiveness, giving you confidence in every treatment.

At ReVita Med Clinic, Head Nurse Sam Abboud personally performs every microneedling session. With over 15 years of clinical and emergency nursing experience, Sam adjusts needle depth, speed and technique based on your individual skin concerns and treatment area.

Microneedling with PRP

For enhanced results, SkinPen microneedling can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. After creating micro-channels with the SkinPen, PRP prepared from your own blood is applied to the skin. The micro-channels allow deeper absorption of PRP’s concentrated growth factors, amplifying the collagen stimulation and healing response.

This combination is particularly effective for:

Deep acne scarring
Significant skin ageing
Clients seeking maximum results in fewer sessions

PRP Facial Infusion with microneedling is available at ReVita Med Clinic from $549 per session, or $1,499 for a 3-treatment package.

Microneedling FAQs

Common questions about microneedling, suitability, and what to expect from treatment.

Is microneedling painful?

Most clients experience only mild discomfort. Many clients describe the sensation as a light prickling.

How long until I see results?

Initial improvement in skin glow and texture is often visible within 1-2 weeks as the healing response activates. Collagen remodelling continues for up to 3-6 months after each session, with progressive improvement over time.

Is SkinPen safe for all skin types?

Yes. The SkinPen is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin tones that may not be suitable for some laser treatments.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

Avoid makeup for 24-48 hours after treatment to allow the micro-channels to close. After that, mineral-based makeup is recommended for the first week.

What is the difference between SkinPen and a dermal roller?

SkinPen is a medical-grade, FDA-cleared device used by trained healthcare professionals. It creates precise, consistent micro-channels at controlled depths.

Over-the-counter dermal rollers use fixed needles that can cause uneven trauma and are not regulated for safety or effectiveness.
