SkinPen microneedling, Pinecrest

Smoother skin, session by session.

Microneedling is sold everywhere from spas to kits you can buy online, but the device and the hands matter, so at AWE it is done with SkinPen in a medical practice, after a skin analysis.

For new guests: $150 off your first session, $350 instead of $500, with a complimentary skin analysis.

If your skin's texture bothers you

Tell us what you are seeing, and we will tell you what a series can change.

Acne scars
Tiny, controlled channels prompt the skin to rebuild itself where the scar sits.
Fine lines
New collagen forms over the weeks after each session.
Rough or uneven texture
Skin usually feels smoother after the first session.
Enlarged pores
They tend to look smaller as the skin firms.
Products that no longer seem to do much
Freshly treated skin takes in what is applied to it.

If your skin needs something stronger, such as Morpheus8 by InMode, we will tell you.

Comfort

A numbing cream goes on first, so most guests feel pressure more than pain.

Before you book

Does it hurt?

A numbing cream is applied first. Most guests describe pressure and a light scratching feeling.

How long is the downtime?

Usually 24 to 48 hours of redness. You go home with aftercare.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually three to six, four to six weeks apart. You get your own number after the skin analysis.

When will I see results?

Skin often looks brighter within a week, and texture keeps improving as collagen forms.

How is this different from Morpheus8 by InMode?

Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency heat for tightening. Microneedling alone is gentler and focuses on texture. We will tell you which suits you.

What does it cost?

A session is $500. New guests get $150 off the first one, so it is $350, with a complimentary skin analysis.

Where are you?
