What Is SkinPen® Elite Microneedling?

SkinPen® Precision Elite is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses a cartridge of fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process is designed to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin while helping maintain the skin’s structure. This treatment is a minimally invasive, non-laser option suited to a wide range of skin tones and types.

What SkinPen® Elite May Help With:

  • Acne scars and uneven skin texture.
  • Fine lines and neck wrinkles.
  • Enlarged pores and uneven tone.
  • Collagen and elastin production.
  • Enhanced absorption of topical skincare products.

This treatment can also be paired with BBL HERO®, VI Peel®, BioRePeel®, or dermaplaning to help extend and support results.

A Precise, Three-Phase Process

SkinPen® Precision Elite causes controlled micro-injuries designed to activate your body’s natural wound healing process across three phases: inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling, while working to minimize cellular damage. This process is intended to help remodel scar tissue while keeping the skin’s overall structure intact. Clinical studies have shown that a series of 4 or more treatments may support optimal results, with improvements that can continue to develop for 3 to 6 months after the final session.

SkinPen® Precision Elite is a registered trademark of Crown Aesthetics, a Revance Company.

Step 01
Inflammation: Injury & Response

The device’s needles create thousands of controlled micro-injuries, triggering your body’s natural wound healing response. Immune cells are activated to help clear debris and increase circulation, preparing the skin for repair.

Step 02
Proliferation: Rebuild & Renew

New tissue begins to form as the body produces fresh collagen and elastin. These proteins help rebuild the skin’s structural framework, gradually supporting improved firmness, texture, and tone as healing progresses.

Step 03
Remodeling: Strengthen & Refine

Over the following weeks and months, newly formed collagen matures and reorganizes into a stronger structure, during which the most visible, longer-lasting improvements tend to continue building.

Quick Facts:

  • About 30 minutes typical session length, including numbing time
  • 4 or more treatments are generally recommended for optimal, clinically studied results
  • 90% of clinical trial patients said they would recommend the treatment to family and friends
  • 3 to 6 months of continued improvement that may follow the final session
