SkinPen Microneedling
At RANDALI, microneedling is performed with SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. Its precise, sterile micro-channels trigger your skin's natural collagen and elastin response for firmer, smoother, more refined skin, with minimal downtime.

What it is, and what it addresses
How it works
SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting a natural healing cascade that rebuilds collagen and elastin, improving texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars over a series of treatments.
Every treatment uses a sterile, single-use needle cartridge, and adjustable needle depth lets your provider tailor each pass to different areas of the face, precision that sets the clinically studied SkinPen apart from at-home rollers and non-medical devices.
FDA-cleared to treat facial acne scars, SkinPen is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. Optional add-ons, such as peptides or topical tox for a “Red Carpet Facial” finish, can be layered in to enhance your results.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What is SkinPen, and how is it different from at-home microneedling?
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. Unlike at-home rollers or non-medical pens, it uses a sterile, single-use cartridge and precise, adjustable needle depth, delivered by a trained provider, to create controlled micro-channels that stimulate your skin's natural collagen and elastin production.
What concerns can SkinPen microneedling treat?
SkinPen microneedling is commonly used to improve fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and overall skin rejuvenation. It may also be incorporated into treatment plans for certain pigmentation and early skin laxity concerns.
How many SkinPen treatments will I need?
While some patients notice improvement after a single treatment, a series, often three sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results. The ideal number depends on your concerns, skin condition, and goals.
Can SkinPen help acne scars?
Yes, SkinPen is FDA-cleared to treat facial acne scars, and microneedling is one of the most commonly performed treatments for improving their appearance. Multiple treatments are often recommended for more significant scarring.
Can SkinPen microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. SkinPen microneedling is frequently incorporated into comprehensive plans alongside medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, the Vampire Facial, and other treatments when appropriate.
Will my skin peel afterward?
Some patients experience mild flaking, dryness, or roughness as the skin renews itself following treatment. This is generally temporary and part of the normal healing process.
Does SkinPen microneedling hurt?
Most patients tolerate SkinPen microneedling well. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment to maximize comfort. You may feel a sensation of pressure or mild vibration during the procedure.
Will I bleed during SkinPen microneedling?
Some pinpoint bleeding is normal during microneedling, particularly when treating deeper concerns such as acne scarring. The amount varies based on treatment depth, skin condition, and individual response.
Is SkinPen safe for all skin types and tones?
SkinPen microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. A consultation at our Lancaster, PA office allows us to evaluate your skin and confirm whether SkinPen is the right treatment for your goals.
How long is the recovery period after SkinPen microneedling?
Most patients experience redness similar to a mild-to-moderate sunburn for 24–72 hours following treatment. Some temporary swelling, dryness, or skin sensitivity may also occur as the skin heals, one reason SkinPen is popular for its minimal downtime.
