Improve texture, pores, and acne scars with collagen-stimulating microneedling.

A Precise Microneedling Treatment for Smoother Skin

Uneven texture, acne scars, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, and dullness can make skin look less smooth and refreshed than it should. While facials and skincare are important for maintenance, some concerns need a treatment that encourages deeper skin renewal.

At Image Surgical Arts, SkinPen microneedling is used to create controlled microchannels in the skin, encouraging the body’s natural collagen and elastin response. SkinPen in Nashville is customized based on skin quality, sensitivity, and the concerns being addressed, helping patients achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.

SkinPen for Texture, Pores, and Acne Scars

SkinPen is a microneedling device that creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen remodeling and skin renewal. Patients may consider SkinPen to improve the appearance of:

Acne scars
Fine lines
Enlarged-looking pores
Rough texture
Uneven tone
Dullness
Mild skin laxity
Post-inflammatory discoloration
Overall skin quality

SkinPen is commonly used on the face, but it may also be appropriate for select areas of the neck or body, depending on skin condition and provider recommendation.

Why Choose Image Surgical Arts?

Medical-Led Aesthetic Standards

Image Surgical Arts is led by Dr. Brady Harris, a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, and the medspa team approaches SkinPen treatment with careful attention to skin health, safety, and individualized treatment planning.

Experienced Skin Care Providers

Microneedling requires proper depth selection, technique, spacing, and aftercare. The Image Surgical Arts team evaluates skin texture, scarring, sensitivity, and pigmentation risk before creating a SkinPen plan.

A Personalized Skin Renewal Strategy

SkinPen may be used on its own or paired with regenerative options such as PRP, DermaPRP, or Ariessence Pure PDGF+ when appropriate. Treatment plans are based on the patient’s skin rather than a generic protocol.

Full-Service Medspa Care

Because Image Surgical Arts offers microneedling, chemical peels, Hydrafacial, CO2 resurfacing, IPL, injectables, and medical-grade skincare, patients receive guidance on where SkinPen fits within a broader skin rejuvenation plan.

How SkinPen Encourages Collagen Renewal

SkinPen in Clarksville, TN, works by creating precise microchannels in the skin. These tiny channels are part of a controlled treatment process designed to activate the body’s natural repair response.

As the skin heals, collagen and elastin production are encouraged. This gradual remodeling process can help improve the appearance of texture, acne scarring, pores, and early signs of aging over a series of treatments.

SkinPen is not designed to create an instant, dramatic change. Instead, it works progressively, helping the skin look smoother, brighter, and more refined as collagen renewal develops.

Treating With Detailed Precision

One advantage of SkinPen is its ability to treat smaller or more detailed areas with precision. This can be helpful around contours of the face where texture, pores, or acne scars may be more noticeable. Treatment depth can be adjusted depending on the area and concern being addressed.

A shallower setting may be used for more delicate skin or general refreshment, while deeper settings may be selected for certain scars or texture concerns. Your provider will determine the appropriate depth and number of passes based on skin thickness, sensitivity, and treatment priorities.

What Your SkinPen Appointment Includes

A SkinPen appointment typically begins with cleansing and skin preparation. A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to improve comfort.

During the treatment, the device is moved across the skin in a controlled pattern. Patients may feel vibration, pressure, or mild prickling, but the numbing step helps make the experience manageable for most people.

After microneedling, the skin may appear red and feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Regenerative products or calming post-treatment care may be applied depending on the plan.

Post-Treatment Care

After SkinPen, temporary redness, warmth, tightness, sensitivity, and mild swelling are common. These effects typically improve over the next few days, although the exact timeline depends on treatment depth and individual skin response.

Patients should follow aftercare instructions carefully, including avoiding harsh products, exfoliants, direct sun exposure, and certain active ingredients until cleared by the provider. Sun protection is especially important while the skin is renewing. The Image Surgical Arts team will explain what to expect, which products to use, and when normal skincare can resume.

Results That Build Over a Series of Treatments

Some patients notice a fresher glow within the first week after SkinPen, but the most meaningful improvements usually develop gradually as collagen remodeling continues.

Texture, acne scars, pores, and fine lines often require a series of treatments for best results. Treatment spacing depends on the skin concern, intensity, and provider recommendation. Maintenance sessions may also be discussed for patients who want to continue improving skin quality over time.

At Image Surgical Arts, SkinPen in Murray, KY, is used as part of a measured, skin-focused plan that supports smoother texture and natural-looking renewal.

SkinPen Frequently Asked Questions

How is SkinPen different from RF microneedling?

SkinPen uses traditional microneedling to stimulate collagen renewal, while RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for additional remodeling and tightening benefits.

Can SkinPen help acne scars?

Yes. SkinPen may improve the appearance of certain acne scars by encouraging collagen remodeling. A series of treatments is often recommended for visible improvement.

How much downtime should I expect after SkinPen?

Most patients experience redness, warmth, tightness, or mild swelling for a few days. Downtime varies depending on treatment depth and skin sensitivity.

How many SkinPen treatments will I need?

Many patients benefit from a series. The recommended number depends on skin texture, acne scarring, pores, fine lines, and the level of improvement desired.

Can SkinPen be combined with PRP?

Yes. PRP, DermaPRP, or other regenerative options may be added when appropriate to enhance the skin renewal plan.
