Microneedling Skinpen Recovery process
Day 1–3: Inflammatory Phase
• Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity (similar to a sunburn).
• Skin starts the natural wound-healing process.
• Inflammatory signals activate fibroblasts (the cells that produce collagen).
Day 3–7: Proliferative Phase
• New skin cells (keratinocytes) begin repairing micro-injuries.
• Collagen type III starts forming (the “younger” collagen).
• Skin texture may feel tighter; minor flaking or dryness can occur.
Week 2–4: Early Remodeling Phase
• Collagen III gradually reorganizes into stronger Collagen I.
• Gradual improvements in firmness, elasticity, and skin tone.
• Subtle softening of fine lines, mild scars, and pigmentation.
Month 1–3: Remodeling & Maturation Phase
• Continuous collagen and elastin remodeling.
• Noticeable improvements in smoothness, plumpness, and evenness.
• Acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores show visible reduction.
Month 3–6: Peak Collagen Renewal
• Collagen deposition and tissue remodeling reach optimal effect.
• Results appear more defined, long-lasting, and natural.
• Skin looks healthier, firmer, and rejuvenated.
How many Skinpen sessions do I need ?
• Most protocols recommend 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to build cumulative collagen and achieve optimal results.
• Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain improvements.
