We highly recommend SkinPen in Tuscaloosa to address many types of concerns. But there are a few specific ways that SkinPen is especially effective.

How does SkinPen® work?
In three easy steps, SkinPen jumpstarts collagen production and healthy skin cell turnover. Here’s how the magic happens!
Inflammation
SkinPen’s microneedles penetrate the skin to prompt a natural immune response. This causes your skin to rid itself of debris, increase blood flow, and produce new cells.
Proliferation
The tiny holes left behind in targeted areas allow your skin to replenish itself with new, collagen-rich cells.
Remodeling
Increased blood flow and collagen lead to new tissues that replace scar tissue or aging skin. As your skin heals, you’ll see smoother, radiant, younger-looking skin!
Before and After
Frequently Asked Questions
Before
In your initial consultation, we’ll get to know each other and discuss your concerns. If the conversation turns to scars, aging skin, and more, we may recommend SkinPen in Tuscaloosa.
During
On the day of your treatment, we’ll escort you back to our treatment room, cleanse your skin, and let you prepare for your treatment. Throughout your 30-minute session, you’ll likely feel a little buzzing and some slight discomfort initially. Topical numbing cream isn’t always required, but we offer it just in case.
After
After your session, we’ll apply medical-grade skincare to protect and promote healthy skin. Our front desk will help you schedule your next follow-up, and you can get back to life with zero downtime!
Everyone’s skin is unique, so no two treatment plans at Indian Hills Aesthetics are alike!
Our treatment plans may include one or two sessions for the most minimal remodeling needed. However, we typically see patients for several sessions to address deeper concerns.
Since this treatment uses your body’s natural processes, your age can affect how long it takes to see results.
Some of our patients see results following their first treatment! But typically, patients can expect to experience results in a few weeks following each treatment.
We trust SkinPen in Tuscaloosa because it offers the simplest way to maintain beautiful results for the long haul.
After your initial set of sessions, your specialist will recommend regular maintenance based on data collected during your follow-up treatments.
Yes, SkinPen microneedling is safe for all skin types. This includes sensitive skin.
SkinPen's adjustable depth settings allow your provider to customize treatment based on your skin's needs and tolerance. Because it doesn't use heat or light-based energy, it minimizes the risk of pigmentation issues. This makes it suitable for darker skin tones as well.
Yes, SkinPen can treat stretch marks by stimulating collagen production. It encourages the skin's natural healing process and gradually improves the appearance of stretch marks.
You may need several sessions to see optimal results. However, patients often notice visible improvement over time.
Preparing your skin for a SkinPen treatment involves:
- Avoiding sun exposure, tanning, and exfoliating products. Stop using products like retinoids and glycolic acid a few days before your appointment.
- Cleansing your skin well on the day of the treatment. This helps to prevent irritation.
- Stopping skin care products or medications that could increase the skin's sensitivity or risk of irritation. Share your current medications and products with your provider. They can tell you which ones you should stop (and for how long).
Recovery time after a SkinPen session is minimal. Most patients experience redness and slight swelling immediately after treatment. They say it feels like a mild sunburn. This issue usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
During this period, it's crucial to avoid sun exposure. You should also apply gentle skincare products recommended by your provider to promote healing.
Full recovery varies depending on the depth of the treatment. However, most individuals can return to their normal skincare routine within a week.
Yes, SkinPen can help with hyperpigmentation by promoting collagen production and skin cell turnover. It helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The microneedling process stimulates the skin's natural healing response. It encourages new skin growth that can even out pigmentation issues.
Individual results vary. However, you may need many sessions for optimal hyperpigmentation improvements.
