SkinPen uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled microchannels in your skin. These microchannels stimulate your body’s natural healing response, prompting increased collagen and elastin production. Collagen is what gives skin its firmness, while elastin keeps it supple. This process strengthens your skin from within, improving its overall structure and resilience. Because SkinPen works by triggering renewal, it doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, making it safe for a wide range of skin types and tones.

SkinPen Microneedling
Microneedling Made Personal
Your Skin’s Fresh Start
At DeeTox, we see your skin as a story—one worth caring for and celebrating. SkinPen microneedling is one of our favorite ways to write a new chapter for your skin, helping it feel smoother, firmer, and more radiant without harsh or invasive measures.
SkinPen microneedling uses tiny, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries on your skin’s surface. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. As your skin repairs itself, it becomes more refined in texture, tone, and elasticity. Because the treatment works with your body’s natural processes, results look and feel completely authentic. You won’t look overdone, just healthier and revitalized.

Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
SkinPen is FDA-cleared and designed with adjustable settings so providers can tailor treatments to your specific skin needs. It’s generally safe for most adults who want to refresh their skin, but we always review your medical history and current skin condition before recommending it. Certain situations, like active infections or specific skin conditions, may require postponing treatment for safety.
Yes, we adjust the needle depth and number of passes depending on your skin concerns and your goals. This means you get a completely personalized treatment every time, whether you’re looking for a light refresh or a more targeted boost in specific areas like the cheeks or forehead.
You should arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. We recommend avoiding certain skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, for a few days before your session to reduce sensitivity. We’ll provide clear, easy-to-follow prep guidelines during your consultation to ensure you have the best possible experience.
Absolutely. Many clients choose to pair SkinPen with treatments like PRP, Hydrafacials, or chemical peels to target multiple skin concerns at once. Combining treatments can enhance your overall results, and we can recommend a safe treatment plan based on your goals.
Your skin needs time to rebuild collagen between sessions, so most people space treatments about four to six weeks apart. This timing ensures that your skin has fully healed and that each session builds on the last for optimal benefits.
