Microneedling
with SkinPen in Redlands, CA
If you want smoother, healthier-looking skin without surgery or long downtime, SkinPen Microneedling may be the solution. At SKINAESTHETICA MEDICAL AESTHETICS in Redlands, CA, our board-certified dermatologists use the FDA-cleared SkinPen device to safely stimulate collagen and restore a natural glow.
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that creates controlled microchannels in the skin using tiny, sterile needles. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer skin with improved tone and texture.
Unlike at-home dermarollers or older devices, SkinPen is FDA-cleared, precise, and safe for all skin tones.
