SkinPen Microneedling
Microneedling with SkinPen is a gentle, minimally invasive collagen-stimulating treatment that creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to smooth fine lines, improve acne scarring, refine texture, and unveil a firmer, more radiant complexion.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses a precision device (we use SkinPen at Wellness Code) with very fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. As your skin repairs itself, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture. Our Dallas patients who deal with acne scars, large pores, fine lines, or rough patches love the results they get from this treatment.

Enhance your Results Naturally
Microneedling with PRF
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural concentrate derived from your own blood. It’s rich in platelets, growth factors, white blood cells, and stem cells—without any additives.
Best for:
- Mild to moderate acne scarring
- Early signs of aging
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Texture irregularities
How it works:
We extract a small amount of your blood, then spin it in a special centrifuge to isolate its healing components. This golden, gel-like substance is then applied during microneedling, allowing the growth factors to absorb deep into the skin. PRF accelerates healing and enhances yout microneedling results.
Next-Level Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling with PDGF
PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is a highly potent growth factor that supports tissue regeneration and collagen production. When paired with microneedling, it helps elevate your results by accelerating healing and enhancing skin quality.
Best for:
- Mild to moderate acne scarring
- Early signs of aging
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Texture irregularities
- Enlarged pores
How it works:
During your microneedling treatment, a specialized PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) solution is applied to the skin. The micro-channels created by microneedling help the PDGF absorb more effectively, allowing it to reach deeper layers of the skin. PDGF supports the skin’s natural repair process by encouraging collagen and elastin production, promoting healthy circulation, and aiding in overall skin renewal.
Harness The Power Of Stem-Cells
Microneedling with Exosomes
Exosomes are powerful, tiny particles that come from stem cells. They act like messengers, telling your skin cells to repair, regenerate, and produce more collagen.
Best for:
- More advanced signs of aging (loss of elasticity, deeper lines)
- Uneven tone and dullness
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Patients who want maximum glow and visible improvement fast
- Great for patients who may not be candidates for PRF (due to medical conditions or personal preference)
How it works:
When paired with microneedling, exosomes penetrate the skin through micro-channels and deliver targeted signals that amplify collagen production, improve hydration, and reduce inflammation in the skin.

Start To Finish
What to Expect
Plan Ahead
Book your appointment at least 3 - 4 weeks before any major event to allow your results to fully develop and for any bruising, redness, or swelling to subside.
Skin Prep
Avoid waxing, shaving, harsh exfoliants, or active ingredients like retinoids and glycolic acid for 3–5 days before treatment.
Skip sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for at least 72 hours prior.
Medication Check
For at least a week before your appointment, we recommend stopping aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen, and other NSAIDs. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing any prescribed medications.
Taking Accutane? You'll need to wait at least 6 months after completing your Accutane treatment before scheduling a microneedling session.
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to help keep your skin hydrated.
Avoid Alcohol
Limit alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before your treatment.
Active Skin Irritation?
Let us know beforehand so we can assess whether treatment is right for your skin that day.
Pairing Treatments
SkinPen Microneedling is often paired with PRF, PRP, or PDGF. We’ll guide you on how to prepare for your appointment if combining services.
Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
SkinPen Microneedling is not recommended if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
Cleanse + Numbing
We'll start by gently cleansing your face and neck.
To make you as comfortable as possible, we apply a strong topical numbing cream to the treatment area.
Treatment
Using SkinPen, we gently glide the device across your skin to create tiny micro-channels that kickstart collagen production.
Most of our patients describe it as a mild buzzing or sandpaper-like sensation.
The treatment takes about 60 minutes, including numbing time.
Immediately After
After your treatment, we’ll apply soothing serums and medical-grade sunscreen to calm and protect the skin.
Expect Mild Redness
Expect a flushed or sunburn-like appearance for 24–48 hours. Your skin may also feel tight and warm to the touch.
Hydrate + Protect
Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun so keep your skin moisturized and wear SPF.
Be Gentle
Avoid active ingredients (like AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids) for 1 week after your treatment. Stick with gentle cleansers and calming moisturizers.
Keep It Cool
Avoid sweating, hot yoga, steam, and makeup for 24 hours.
When to Come Back
For optimal results, we often recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
