Stimulate Natural Collagen Production That Lasts

Microneedling is known to stimulate collagen production. When performed in a professional setting, the process involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural wound healing process. This healing process involves the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins that help keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

In Des Moines & Ankeny, Iowa, Coachlight provides SkinPen microneedling treatments that reduce hyperpigmentation, smooth acne scars and other skin imperfections, and diminish pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. Our expert team is dedicated to revealing your beautiful, radiant, and younger-looking skin. Discover the transformative power of Microneedling and begin your journey to flawless skin today.

What Is SkinPen Microneedling Treatment?

SkinPen Microneedling is a highly effective treatment designed to address various skin conditions by creating numerous micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process triggers the body’s natural healing mechanisms, enhancing collagen production, skin elasticity, and smoothness. Generating microchannels improves wound-healing capabilities while minimizing cellular damage, promoting comprehensive skin rejuvenation from within. This technique successfully renovates scar tissue without compromising the skin’s structural integrity, leading to a smoother complexion, reduced neck wrinkles, and a diminished appearance of acne scars. The result is revitalized, healthier skin that exudes vitality. If you’re wondering how many sessions you’ll need to see results, our detailed guide breaks down typical session counts by skin concern.

At Coachlight, we use SkinPen, the world’s first FDA-cleared Microneedling device. Our patients benefit greatly from this advanced technology with single-use, sterile needle cartridges, and a custom-designed sheath to prevent cross-contamination, ensuring the highest safety and effectiveness in Microneedling treatments.

How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?

The SkinPen Microneedling treatment stimulates your skin’s natural healing process. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries, triggering collagen and elastin production to improve skin tone and texture while reducing scars, acne, and wrinkles. Unlike at-home dermal rollers, the SkinPen penetrates deeper, delivering more dramatic results without heat or chemicals. The process begins with inflammation, causing an immune response that disinfects and increases blood flow. Next, new granulation cells and blood vessels form, rebuilding the microchannels. Finally, new dermal tissues rich in collagen and elastin develop, significantly reducing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, revealing smoother, more radiant, youthful-looking skin.

Proven Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling Treatment

SkinPen Microneedling delivers a range of benefits, such as diminishing acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and pore size, while also softening wrinkles, enhancing skin texture, and brightening and tightening the skin. By using tiny needles to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production, this treatment can noticeably reduce the appearance of scars and pores and improve overall skin tone and texture. Plus, it’s a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. For even greater results, advanced options like Intracel microneedling can further boost skin rejuvenation and tightening.

Your SkinPen Microneedling Experience: Step by Step

How to Prepare for Your Microneedling Appointment

Before your SkinPen Microneedling session, you’ll meet with one of our skilled aestheticians to discuss your skincare goals and address any questions you might have. We’ll design a treatment plan, specifically for you, ensuring it meets your needs. To minimize the risk of bleeding or bruising, please avoid using retinol or exfoliants for a few days before your appointment. Also, avoid certain supplements, alcohol, and aspirin during this time.

What Happens During Your SkinPen Microneedling Session

During a SkinPen Microneedling session, a handheld device with fine needles gently pricks the skin to create tiny injuries. These micro-injuries trigger collagen and elastin, leading to a smoother, firmer complexion. Most patients report feeling a mild prickling sensation during the treatment.

Recovery & Results: Life After Microneedling Treatment

After undergoing SkinPen Microneedling, you may notice mild swelling for about a day and redness that lasts between 2 to 4 days. Fortunately, the redness can typically be concealed with makeup, allowing most patients to return to work within 1 to 3 days. You’ll start seeing initial improvements in just 2 days as collagen production kicks in, with the best results becoming more apparent over the next 1 to 6 weeks.

Microneedling has little to no downtime and there are virtually no side effects.

Generally speaking, it is best to do 3 to 6 treatments 30 days apart from each other. The number of treatments depends on expected results, age of the patient and how damaged the skin may be. Your provider will make an appropriate treatment amount recommendation for you during a complimentary consultation.

Guests can benefit however from just one microneedling treatment.

Although we do apply a topical numbing cream on the area being treated, some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes but the appointment is scheduled for 1 hour to allow for the numbing cream to take effect. Most patients experience some mild swelling for a day and redness for 2 to 4 days after the procedure. The redness can usually be covered by make-up and most patients can return to work within 1 to 3 days after the procedure.

Healing time varies by individual, and the specific treatment applied. Most patients experience mild swelling and redness or pinkness for 2 to 4 days, a normal part of the healing process, and should resolve naturally.

  Got additional Botox on edges of forehead.

Small lines filled around mouth.  Makes me wish I got more done in my lips, but filling of lines is what I asked for.  Great job!

  I’ve had such a great experience with Coachlight and genuinely can’t recommend them enough. Meagan has been amazing with my skincare really taking the time to understand my skin, what I’m trying to accomplish, and recommends treatments that actually make sense for me. I always leave feeling like my skin is in the best hands.

Jackie is equally incredible for injections. She’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, and never makes me feel like she’s trying to overdo anything. I really appreciate that she listens to what I want, explains everything, and keeps the results natural.

Beyond Meagan and Jackie, everyone I’ve interacted with at Coachlight has been welcoming, professional, and so kind. It’s one of those places where you can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the experience they provide. I cannot say enough great things!!
