What Can You Expect?
SkinPen is a simple, comfortable, and effective treatment for skin rejuvenation. Most people see results in as few as three 30-minute sessions.
Before Treatment
Your provider will gently cleanse your skin. Topical anesthesia will be administered to assure maximum comfort during
the treatment.
During Treatment
- Skin Pen creates millions of controlled microchannels in the skin. This jump starts the production of collagen and elastin and encourages the release of growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. The result is a cascade of healing processes that can continue for months following your treatment.
- The SkinPen treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes. Depending on whether an anesthetic is used prior to treatment, your entire treatment session may last up to one hour- still plenty of time to schedule your treatment before work or during your lunch hour. Be sure to speak with your provider before you come to get an accurate estimate, so you know how to plan your visit.
After Treatment
- Your skin may initially appear slightly pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours.
- Some people see rejuvenated skin after just one treatment, and results may continue to improve for three to six months following your last treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural ability to repair itself. Using a medical-grade device with fine needles, microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, prompting the body to produce collagen and elastin. This treatment can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin texture.
How does SkinPen Microneedling work?
SkinPen Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What areas can be treated with SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. It is particularly effective for treating acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. At Peaches + Co in St. Johns, we tailor each treatment to address your specific skin concerns.

We adhere to strict safety and hygiene standards at Peaches + Co to ensure the best outcomes for our clients.
How many treatments will I need?

What can I expect during the procedure?
During the SkinPen Microneedling procedure, your esthetician will first cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort.

What is the downtime after SkinPen Microneedling?
The downtime after SkinPen Microneedling is minimal. You may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, for 24-48 hours following the procedure.

When will I see results?
