Microneedling with SkinPen®
in Woodbridge, VA
SkinPen® microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment that improves skin texture, softens fine lines, and helps reduce the appearance of acne scars — supporting stronger, healthier skin over time with minimal downtime.
Collagen-Stimulating Microneedling for Smoother, Healthier Skin
• Stimulates collagen + elastin for firmer, smoother skin
• Improves acne scars and uneven texture
• Softens fine lines and early signs of aging
• Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores
• Brightens dull, uneven skin tone
Over time, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture.
SkinPen® microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that stimulates collagen to improve skin texture, soften fine lines, reduce acne scarring, and support healthier, stronger skin over time. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, the treatment activates the body’s natural repair response — helping restore smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin with minimal downtime.
What Microneedling Improves
Why We Use SkinPen®
At Eleva Glow Med Spa, microneedling treatments are performed using SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the United States. SkinPen is widely recognized as one of the most trusted and clinically studied microneedling systems available.
Unlike many cosmetic microneedling devices, SkinPen was developed to meet strict medical-device safety standards. Each treatment uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges designed for precision, consistency, and safety.
Because of its research, safety profile, and clinical performance, SkinPen is trusted by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and medical aesthetic practices around the world.
At Eleva Glow Med Spa, we combine SkinPen technology with personalized treatment planning and medical-grade skincare to support healthy skin regeneration and long-term skin strength.
How Microneedling Fits Into Your Skin Plan
At Eleva Glow Med Spa, microneedling is often used as part of a thoughtful, long-term skin strategy, not just a single treatment.
For clients addressing concerns like acne scarring, uneven texture, or early signs of aging, we often begin with a series of microneedling treatments spaced several weeks apart. This allows the skin time to rebuild collagen while gradually improving tone, texture, and overall skin strength.
Once an initial series is complete, many clients choose to incorporate microneedling into their ongoing yearly skin plan to support continued collagen production and maintain healthy, resilient skin as natural collagen production slows with age.
Microneedling can also be combined with treatments like chemical peels, customized facials, or laser treatments to support more comprehensive skin improvement when appropriate.
Every treatment plan is personalized based on your skin, goals, and timeline.
What to Expect with Microneedling
Microneedling is a comfortable, minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate collagen while allowing the skin to heal quickly. Here's what most clients can expect before, during, and after treat
During Treatment
Microneedling treatments typically take about 60 minutes, including preparation time. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable.
Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure with a light scratching feeling, depending on the area being treated.
Downtime & Recovery
After treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn.
These effects usually settle within 24–72 hours. Some clients experience light flaking or dryness as the skin heals.
Makeup is typically avoided for the first 24 hours while the skin begins its natural repair process.
Results & Treatment Plan
Many clients notice improvement in skin texture and tone after a single treatment, with continued improvement as collagen remodels over time.
For concerns like acne scarring, fine lines, or uneven texture, an initial series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is often recommended.
Once the initial series is complete, microneedling can be incorporated into a yearly skin health plan to support continued collagen production and long-term skin strength.
