At Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, SkinPen Microneedling is one of our most sought-after skin rejuvenation treatments because it works with your body’s biology, not against it. Whether you’re looking to soften wrinkles, fade acne scars, or brighten dull skin, this advanced therapy provides visible improvement with long-lasting benefits.

Introduction to SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen Microneedling is one of the most trusted, science-backed treatments for rejuvenating the skin from within. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen is designed to safely trigger controlled micro-injuries in the skin—stimulating collagen and elastin production for a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.

At Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, SkinPen Microneedling is a patient favorite because it offers dramatic improvements with minimal downtime. Whether you’re struggling with acne scars, early signs of aging, or overall dullness, this collagen-inducing treatment helps restore natural radiance without harsh lasers or invasive procedures.

By encouraging your skin to regenerate itself, SkinPen delivers results that look authentic, feel natural, and continue to improve over time—making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking glowing, healthier-looking skin.

The Science Behind Microneedling

Microneedling has become one of the most trusted treatments in modern aesthetics because it taps into something compelling: your skin’s natural ability to heal and renew itself. SkinPen Microneedling takes this concept to a medical-grade level, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen, refine texture, and restore a healthier, more youthful complexion.

At Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, SkinPen Microneedling is performed with precision and expertise to ensure results that are both safe and transformative. Whether you’re targeting acne scars, fine lines, large pores, or overall dullness, this treatment offers a proven way to rejuvenate your skin from within.

What is Collagen Induction Therapy?

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is the scientific foundation of microneedling. As we age, collagen production slows dramatically, leading to laxity, wrinkles, and uneven texture. CIT works by creating tiny, controlled channels in the skin, which activate the body’s healing response.

As your skin repairs these micro-channels, it produces fresh collagen and elastin — the essential proteins responsible for firmness, smoothness, and resilience. This natural regeneration is what makes microneedling so effective for:

  • Softening fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improving acne scars
  • Refining pores and texture
  • Restoring overall elasticity and radiance

The best part? CIT strengthens your skin from the inside out, creating long-term improvements with every session.

How SkinPen Microneedling Works

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device — known for its precision, safety, and ability to deliver consistent, predictable results. During your treatment, tiny sterile needles move rapidly across the skin, creating micro-injuries at controlled depths tailored to your skin concerns.

These micro-channels trigger collagen remodeling and encourage fresh cell turnover, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more refined over time. Unlike at-home rollers or non-medical devices, SkinPen reaches the ideal depth for real collagen stimulation while protecting your surrounding tissue.

At Viva Vitality, every SkinPen treatment is customized to your exact needs, ensuring optimal comfort and maximum rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen Microneedling offers a powerful combination of rejuvenation, repair, and long-term skin strengthening. Because the treatment works with your body’s natural healing processes, results look fresh, natural, and beautifully refined over time. At Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, SkinPen is one of our most requested treatments thanks to its versatility and ability to address multiple concerns in a single session.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

SkinPen Microneedling delivers full-spectrum skin rejuvenation by creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production. As these structural proteins rebuild, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Many clients notice improved tone, smaller pores, and a healthy, refreshed glow after just a few sessions. Because SkinPen works beneath the surface, results continue to develop naturally over the following weeks—strengthening your skin from the inside out.

Microneedling for Acne Scars

SkinPen is highly effective for improving the appearance of acne scars, especially pitted or textural scarring. By stimulating collagen remodeling in the deeper layers of the skin, SkinPen helps fill in uneven areas, smooth rough texture, and soften the look of old scar tissue. Over a series of treatments, acne scars become less visible as the skin’s surface becomes more refined and uniform. Clients love that SkinPen offers this level of correction while remaining minimally invasive and gentle enough for most skin types.

Microneedling for Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles naturally develop as collagen levels decrease with age. SkinPen combats this process by encouraging the formation of fresh collagen fibers, which plump the skin and reduce the appearance of etched lines. Areas such as the cheeks, forehead, smile lines, and the area around the eyes respond exceptionally well to treatment. Instead of “filling” wrinkles artificially, SkinPen strengthens the skin’s own framework—resulting in smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin that maintains natural movement and expression.

What to Expect During a SkinPen Treatment

SkinPen Microneedling is designed to be comfortable, precise, and highly effective, making it one of the most trusted treatments for overall skin rejuvenation. At Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, every session is performed with meticulous attention to detail to ensure your skin receives the safest and most transformative results possible. From preparation to post-care, your provider guides you through each step so you feel confident, informed, and relaxed.

Preparation for Your Session

Before your SkinPen appointment, your provider will assess your skin needs, treatment goals, and medical history to create a fully customized plan. This is the perfect time to meet the experts who will be caring for your skin—your injector or aesthetic specialist from the Viva Vitality team—so you understand exactly how your treatment will be tailored to you. 

To prepare, clients are usually advised to:

  • Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh actives for several days prior
  • Minimize direct sun exposure
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

Proper preparation ensures your skin is calm, healthy, and ready for optimal collagen stimulation.

The Treatment Process

During your SkinPen Microneedling session, your provider gently glides the SkinPen device across the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing response. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to ensure comfort, and most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration.

The SkinPen’s ultra-fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, prompting collagen and elastin production—the key to smoother texture, reduced scarring, and firmer, more radiant skin. Treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the areas addressed.

Afterward, your skin may appear pink or warm, similar to a light sunburn. This is normal and usually subsides within 24–48 hours as your skin begins its rejuvenating repair process. For real patient results, check out our before-and-after gallery

Post-Treatment Care and Results

After your SkinPen Microneedling treatment at Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, your skin begins its natural repair cycle immediately. Proper aftercare is essential for maximizing collagen production and achieving the smooth, radiant complexion this treatment is known for.

In the first 24–48 hours, you may notice mild redness or sensitivity—similar to a light sunburn. This is entirely normal and indicates your skin is responding appropriately to treatment. Our providers will give you personalized instructions on what to apply, what to avoid, and how to support healing, tailored to your unique skin type.

As collagen remodeling progresses in the weeks that follow, your complexion becomes increasingly smoother, brighter, and more refined. These gradual improvements make SkinPen one of the most trusted solutions for rejuvenation, acne scars, and fine lines.

Managing Side Effects

SkinPen Microneedling is minimally invasive, so side effects are typically mild and short-lived. Redness, tightness, and slight swelling are common within the first day or two and usually resolve quickly on their own. Some patients experience minor flaking as the skin regenerates, which is a regular part of the renewal process.

Our medical team ensures every client at Viva Vitality receives tailored post-care guidance to keep skin calm, hydrated, and protected. With proper care, your skin heals smoothly and comfortably.

Timeline for Visible Results

Most clients begin noticing improvements in tone and texture within just a few days, but fundamental transformation happens gradually as collagen continues to rebuild beneath the surface.

  • 1 week: Skin looks brighter and feels smoother
  • 3–4 weeks: Acne scars, fine lines, and texture become more refined
  • 12 weeks: Full collagen remodeling reveals firmer, more youthful skin

For optimal results, many patients undergo a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, allowing the skin to strengthen and rejuvenate continually. Over time, SkinPen Microneedling delivers a natural, radiant glow that enhances your complexion from the inside out.

The Transformative Power of SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen Microneedling is more than a surface-level refresh — it’s an actual skin-regenerating treatment that strengthens, smooths, and revitalizes your complexion from within. By triggering natural collagen production, this advanced technique restores firmness, improves elasticity, and softens visible signs of aging. Many clients love SkinPen because results look entirely natural, revealing a fresher, healthier version of your skin rather than altering your features. Whether you’re targeting acne scars, dullness, textural irregularities, or early aging, SkinPen delivers consistent, radiant improvement with minimal downtime.

At Viva Vitality in Lakeland, FL, SkinPen Microneedling is tailored to each client’s skin health, goals, and comfort level — ensuring every treatment is as practical as it is personalized.
