SkinPen® Microneedling

Procedure:
45–60 minutes
Recovery:
Mild redness for 24–48 hours

At Elysium Chicago Aesthetics + Longevity, we specialize in SkinPen® Microneedling, the first and only FDA-cleared microneedling device clinically proven to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, and minimize fine lines.

SkinPen® uses precision-engineered micro-needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin—stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the production of collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with minimal downtime.

For those seeking next-level results, SkinPen® treatments at Elysium Chicago can be enhanced with regenerative boosters such as PRP, PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors), PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), and stem cell-derived serums, amplifying collagen stimulation and accelerating healing for glowing, revitalized skin.

Patients across Chicago, River North, and Downtown Chicago trust our expert providers to deliver safe, effective, and customized microneedling results using the industry’s gold standard: SkinPen®.

Overview

What Is Microneedling?

SkinPen® Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—uses a sterile, single-use cartridge of fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny channels trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve firmness, smoothness, and tone.

As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen® is proven safe for all skin types and effective year-round. At Elysium Chicago, our providers tailor every treatment to your skin’s unique needs, whether you’re targeting scars, fine lines, or overall rejuvenation.

To further enhance your results, SkinPen® treatments can be paired with advanced regenerative boosters that amplify collagen remodeling, hydration, and cellular renewal, including:

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Uses your body’s natural growth factors to accelerate healing and boost luminosity.
  • PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors): A topical growth factor solution microneedled into the skin to enhance regeneration—no injections or blood collection required.
  • PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide): A DNA-based serum derived from salmon that hydrates, calms, and repairs skin at the cellular level.
  • Stem Cell-Derived Serums: Bio-identical growth factors that speed recovery, minimize redness, and enhance post-treatment glow.

Treatment

What You Can Expect

Personalized
Consultation

Your experience starts with a detailed skin analysis. We’ll assess your goals, current concerns, and skin history to customize your microneedling protocol—with or without PRP.

Microneedling
Procedure

After your skin is cleansed and numbed, a microneedling device is passed over the skin to create microchannels. For PRP, we’ll draw a small blood sample, spin it in a centrifuge, and apply the concentrated platelets directly to your skin to boost repair and regeneration.

Post-Treatment
Results

Redness and swelling typically subside within 24–48 hours. As collagen production ramps up, improvements appear gradually over 4–6 weeks. A series of 3–6 sessions is often recommended for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is SkinPen® different from other microneedling devices?

SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, ensuring the highest standards of safety, precision, and efficacy. Its adjustable depth and medical-grade design make it ideal for personalized treatment on all skin types.

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

Most patients benefit from 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6 months can help preserve results.

Should I add PRP to my microneedling treatment?

Yes—PRP enhances healing and results by using your own growth factors to accelerate skin repair and collagen renewal.

Is microneedling painful?

A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand, so most clients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

How long do microneedling results last?

Results improve over several months as collagen builds and typically last 6–12 months. Ongoing treatments can help maintain youthful skin.

Can SkinPen® microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients combine SkinPen® with PRP, PDGF, or PDRN to accelerate healing and amplify results, or with laser treatments such as NanoLaserPeel® or MoxiMAX® for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal—most patients experience mild redness for 24–48 hours before returning to normal activities.
