Microneedling

Discover the Art of Collagen Renewal

Naturally Renewed, Beautifully Refined

Timeless beauty begins with a complexion that feels smooth, balanced, and naturally radiant.

SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared collagen induction treatment designed to improve the appearance of certain acne scars and facial wrinkles.

At Monarch Aesthetic Medicine, this precise approach to skin rejuvenation creates controlled microchannels that encourage natural healing and collagen remodeling, revealing gradual improvements in skin texture while preserving your complexion's unique character.

The Monarch Experience

Precision-Led Skin Rejuvenation

Your SkinPen treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of your skin's texture, visible concerns, and aesthetic goals. Following topical numbing, your provider uses the SkinPen device to create controlled microchannels at carefully selected depths.

These microscopic injuries stimulate the skin's natural repair processes, encouraging collagen and elastin remodeling over time. Each session is customized to your complexion, supporting smoother texture and gradual refinement with minimal disruption to your routine.

Enhance Your Confidence

Is SkinPen Microneedling Right for You?

SkinPen microneedling may be appropriate for individuals seeking improvement in facial wrinkles, certain acne scars, and uneven skin texture. It offers a minimally invasive approach to collagen stimulation without the use of heat-based energy.

At Monarch Aesthetic Medicine, we carefully evaluate your skin condition, treatment goals, and medical history to determine whether SkinPen is an appropriate choice for achieving a smoother, naturally refreshed complexion.

The Benefits of Microneedling

Our personalized approach emphasizes progressive improvements and natural-looking results, helping restore a smoother, more luminous complexion without dramatically changing your features.

Aftercare Guidelines

Post-Treatment Care for SkinPen Microneedling

Follow prescribed cleansing and moisturizing instructions throughout recovery.

Use broad-spectrum sunscreen and minimize direct sun exposure.

Complete your recommended treatment series for continued improvement.

Avoid applying makeup during the initial recommended recovery.

Avoid retinoids and exfoliating products until medically cleared.

I have been coming to Monarch for years. Heather and Megan have always been extremely professional and are very knowledgeable. I have received many treatments over the years and have always been satisfied. They also offer a monthly membership as well as monthly deals. I have taken advantage of both. I would highly recommend scheduling your next treatment with Monarch.

Staff was kind and professional. Facility was really pretty and clean. Went in for a lip flip and discussed our options. Was one of the least painful lip flip procedures I’ve ever had! Will edit with results in a week once everything has kicked in.

I have been going to Monarch Aesthetic Medicine for 2 years and have had a wonderful experience. The front desk staff are warm and inviting. I appreciate Heather’s professional input when we’ve discussed beauty and aesthetic trends. I never feel that she is pushing a treatment on me. Instead, she presents the risks vs benefits and provides alternative options with realistic outcomes.
