ABOUT SKINSTYLUS™
Treating Acne and Surgical Scars in Albany & Glens Falls, NY
SkinPen® microneedling delivers advanced rejuvenation for clients seeking visible improvements in skin texture and appearance. Our experienced medspa providers at The Artistry of Face in Albany and Glens Falls utilize SkinPen microneedling to help you achieve smoother, more refined skin with minimal downtime.
How Does SkinPen Work?
SkinPen is a handheld microneedling device that creates precise microinjuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural wound healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in visible skin improvements.
AREAS OF TREATMENT
- Facial acne scars
- Surgery and injury scars
- Neck wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Overall skin surface improvements
SkinPen vs. Morpheus8
Both SkinPen and Morpheus8 represent excellent options for skin therapy at our medspa, though they work through different mechanisms. SkinPen uses traditional microneedling to create controlled microinjuries that stimulate natural collagen production, making it ideal for treating scars and improving skin texture.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel deeper skin layers and address concerns like skin laxity and texture. Our medspa providers can determine which treatment best aligns with your specific aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Good Candidates for SkinPen Microneedling
Ideal candidates for SkinPen are adults aged 22 or older who want to improve the appearance of facial acne scarring or neck wrinkles. They have realistic expectations and can commit to following pre- and post-treatment guidelines for best outcomes.
The Procedure
Before your SkinPen procedure begins, our medspa providers will thoroughly cleanse the treatment area(s) and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Next, the SkinPen device is gradually moved across the skin, creating microchannels at the appropriate depth for your specific concerns. Sessions typically take around 30 minutes, allowing us to precisely customize your treatment to your skin’s needs.
The Recovery Process
Following your SkinPen procedure, you can expect some redness and mild sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically resolve within a few days. During your recovery, keep the treated area clean and moisturized as directed by your provider, and avoid direct sun exposure.
Most clients return to their everyday activities within one to two days, making this a convenient option for busy schedules. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily once cleared by your provider, and avoid harsh skincare products during the initial recovery period. Multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended to achieve your desired results.

SkinStylus™ FAQs
How is SkinPen different from at-home dermarolling?
SkinPen uses medical-grade equipment that penetrates much deeper than at-home devices, delivering superior results. The device also features advanced safety systems and sterile, single-use cartridges that minimize infection risk compared to reusable home rollers.
How long do SkinPen results last?
Results from SkinPen can last for several years, since the treatment stimulates your body's own collagen production rather than adding temporary fillers. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and sun protection can help extend your results over time.
