What Is SkinPen®?
SkinPen® targets wrinkles, fine lines and acne scars. After drawing a small sample of your blood, the SkinPen® pokes microholes and cycles plasma into the micro-injuries, resulting in new collagen and elastin.
SkinPen® is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art microneedling device that stimulates skin repair through your body’s natural remodeling process. Microneedling with SkinPen® allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair process by creating precise, micro-injuries in the skin that automatically trigger new collagen and elastin synthesis without causing scar tissue formation.
SkinPen® can be used on all types of skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the look of acne scars. Long-lasting results are possible with a plan developed by the experts at Renew Plastics. We will discuss if this option is the right fit for you, including answers to all your questions.
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is often used alongside microneedling procedures in MN like the SkinPen® to enhance skin rejuvenation. While it’s an undeniably valuable add-on, it’s not a required one.
During the SkinPen® procedure, microholes are created in the skin with fine needles, stimulating collagen production and skin rejuvenation. PRP, derived from your own blood, is then applied topically or injected into the treated area, as it contains growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration. This combination is believed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles and address concerns like acne scars.
The PRP SkinPen® Procedure at a Glance
The procedure takes about 30 minutes and has individualized settings for patient comfort. Many patients see healthier-looking skin immediately, but damage to dermal collagen that has occurred over a long period also takes time for remodeling to take place. You may not see the final result for up to three to six months following your final session, but individual results will vary.
Outpatient/inpatient: Outpatient
Length of procedure: 30 minutes
Length of recovery: 4-6 weeks

If you’re prepared to schedule a PRP procedure in our MN clinic, you’ll be relieved to find out that there is no downtime and very few side effects from the procedure. Bruises, inflammation, swelling and redness may occur but should clear within a week of your PRP microneedling session.
Before the procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied. There may be a tingling sensation, but the process doesn’t hurt.
