SkinPen Microneedling in Pflugerville, TX
Microneedling — properly called collagen induction therapy — uses a medical device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin, which is what improves texture, scarring and fine lines over the following weeks.
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device, which matters: depth is precise and repeatable, and single-use sterile cartridges mean the treatment stays clean. This is a skin-remodelling treatment, so results build across a series rather than appearing overnight.

What microneedling improves
It works on the quality and texture of the skin surface rather than on volume or muscle movement, which is why it pairs so well with Botox and filler.
- Acne scarring, especially rolling and boxcar scars
- Enlarged-looking pores and uneven texture
- Fine lines and early crepiness
- Dull tone and general skin quality
- Some types of stretch marks and body scarring
What a session feels like
Topical numbing sits for about 30 minutes, then the treatment itself takes 20–30 minutes. Most clients describe a vibrating, sandpapery sensation that's very tolerable on the cheeks and sharper on the forehead and nose.
Healing timeline
Expect to look sunburned for 24–48 hours, then slightly dry and tight for a day or two. Makeup usually goes back on at 24 hours. Sunscreen is non-negotiable afterwards — freshly treated skin pigments easily.
Why it's a series
One session gives a glow. Structural change to scarring and texture comes from repeated remodelling, which is why we plan three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart and photograph you throughout so the progress is measurable.
