If you’re seeking smoother texture, reduced scarring, or a more youthful glow, SkinPen microneedling in Astoria NY may be your ideal treatment.

Below, we’ll explore how microneedling works, why SkinPen stands out, its benefits, who is the best candidate, what to expect at your appointment at Skin Fusion Spa, after-care, and why choosing our Astoria location makes a difference.

What is SkinPen Microneedling?

Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) uses ultra-fine needling to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s wound healing cascade, prompting new collagen and elastin formation, improved texture, tone, and resiliency. Clinical reviews describe this as one of the most effective ways to refresh skin without significant downtime. PMC+1

The SkinPen system is the first microneedling device in the U.S. to be cleared by the FDA for aesthetic use—specifically for improving the appearance of facial acne scars and wrinkles on the neck. SkinPen+1

Technical highlights of SkinPen:

• Precisely controlled needle depth (typically up to 2.5 mm) for consistent results SkinPen+1

• Over 90 validation studies support its performance and safety SkinPen Precision - By Crown Aesthetics+1

• Proven improvements in texture, tone, fine lines and scars. In one study 94% of patients saw improvement in neck wrinkles after one month. SkinPen

Key Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

Improved Skin Texture & Tone

By inducing controlled micro-injury, the body remodels skin from within—producing firmer collagen and transforming rough or dull areas into smoother, brighter skin. PMC+1

Reduced Acne Scars and Stretch Marks

Studies show microneedling (including SkinPen) significantly improves the appearance of acne scars and can also benefit striae (stretch marks) by encouraging dermal remodeling. PMC+1

Fine Line & Wrinkle Reduction

Microneedling triggers new collagen which helps soften fine lines around eyes, mouth and neck. One neck-wrinkle study demonstrated significant improvement after four monthly treatments. PMC

Enhanced Product Absorption

The micro-channels created allow topical serums (vitamin C, peptides, hyaluronic acid) to penetrate more deeply and effectively—boosting results beyond needling alone. PMC+1

Safe for All Skin Tones

Because microneedling is mechanical—not thermal—it carries a lower risk of pigment problems or injury in darker skin types. Clinical reviews confirm its safety across Fitzpatrick skin types. PMC

Who Is the Best Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling in Astoria NY?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

• Are seeking smoother texture, fewer lines, improved pore appearance or fading of acne scars

• Want a minimally invasive treatment with limited downtime

• Have realistic expectations, and understand results develop over time (weeks to months)

• Are in generally good health, free of active skin infections or uncontrolled medical conditions

Microneedling may not be suitable if you:

• Are currently pregnant or nursing (many providers defer treatment)

• Have active acne, open wounds or skin infection in the treatment area

• Are using certain isotretinoin medications (your provider will advise on timing)

• Have unrealistic expectations for instant “magic” results

During your complimentary consultation at Skin Fusion Spa in Astoria, our aesthetic professionals will assess your skin, discuss your goals and determine if SkinPen microneedling is right for you—and how many sessions you may need.

What to Expect During Your SkinPen Appointment

Step 1: Consultation & Skin Assessment

We’ll review your skin history, take photographs, measure texture concerns and build a treatment plan including number of sessions, depth settings and adjunct skincare.

Step 2: Preparation

Your skin is cleansed thoroughly. A topical numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort.

Step 3: Treatment

Using the SkinPen device, the handpiece glides over the skin systematically, creating thousands of micro-injuries. Most treatments last about 30-45 minutes depending on the area. You may feel a mild prickling or vibration—many describe it as tolerable and quick.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Care

Your skin may appear pink or feel like a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours. You’ll be advised on how to support healing:

• Use gentle cleanser and hydrating serums

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily (critical)

• Avoid heavy makeup for at least 12 hours

• Skip heavy exercise, heat/steam for 24 hours

How Many Sessions Are Needed & When Will You See Results?

Although some clients notice smoother, brighter skin within one week, optimal results typically develop over 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Clinical evidence shows significant improvements in texture and wrinkle appearance after four monthly treatments. PMC+1

Results continue to improve over three to six months as collagen and elastin remodel. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year help prolong benefits.

Before & Aftercare Tips for Best Results

Before your treatment:

• Avoid retinoids, strong exfoliants and sun-tanning for a few days

• Hydrate well and arrive with clean skin

• Avoid anti-inflammatories unless cleared by your provider

After your treatment:

• Expect minimal downtime; mild redness resolves quickly

• Stick to the skincare plan your provider outlines

• Protect your skin—sun exposure can impair results

• Avoid aggressive peels or lasers until the skin fully heals

• 
  

Real-World Evidence & Clinical Research

• A study of 35 adults undergoing four monthly microneedling treatments found statistically significant wrinkle improvement on the neck (P < 0.001) and high satisfaction rates (~87.5%) at 90 days. PMC

• Another pilot study evaluating microneedling for acne revealed no post-treatment complications and meaningful reductions in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. PMC

• Reviews in dermatologic journals highlight microneedling’s advantages over chemical peels/lasers for scar and texture concerns, especially in darker skin types because of fewer side effects. PMC

This robust clinical backing underscores why Skin Fusion Spa trusts SkinPen for microneedling—because results are proven and safety is established.
