How long does a SkinPen Microneedling treatment last?

A SkinPen appointment typically takes about 30–60 minutes from start to finish, depending on the area being treated and whether numbing is used. The microneedling portion itself is often shorter, but your provider will also factor in cleansing, prep, and aftercare guidance. Plan for a little extra time if you’re treating multiple areas in one visit.

How long do SkinPen Microneedling results last?

SkinPen results can last for months because it helps stimulate collagen and elastin over time. Many people notice a fresh glow within a week or two, with smoother texture and firmer-looking skin continuing to improve over the next 4–6 weeks. Long-term results depend on your skin goals, consistency, and how well you protect your skin (especially with daily SPF).

How often should you get SkinPen Microneedling for long-lasting results?

For best results, SkinPen is commonly done as a series of treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, since collagen remodeling takes time. After your initial series, maintenance treatments every few months can help keep results looking refreshed. Your LaserAway treatment specialist and clinician will personalize the cadence based on your skin concerns, timeline, and how your skin responds.

How long is SkinPen Microneedling downtime, and when can I wear makeup again?

Downtime is usually minimal, with redness and a “sun-kissed” feeling that often lasts 24–72 hours. Many clients return to normal activities quickly, but it’s important to follow the right skincare steps to support healing and protect your results—especially in the first few days.

What can affect how long SkinPen Microneedling results last?

Your results can last longer with consistent sun protection, a healthy skincare routine, and staying on track with recommended treatment intervals. Things like sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, and skipping maintenance sessions can shorten how long your SkinPen benefits stay visible. Remember: the more you support your skin, the longer the payoff.
