Book a consultWhat is RejuvaPen?
RejuvaPen is a microneedling system built around a specialized pen holding a cartridge of nine very small needles. That sounds more intimidating than it is: the needles are tiny, and what they do is give the skin a reason to rebuild itself.
It is at its best on scarring, especially acne scarring. The microneedles break up the tethering inside the scar, the fibrous pull that holds an indentation down, so the surface sits smoother. The body’s own healing does the rest, giving the scar a second chance to repair without surgery or lasers.
The same mechanism improves texture more broadly. Wrinkles, sagging skin, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation all respond, because every pass stimulates the collagen production underneath them.
This is not a maintenance treatment you repeat to hold a result. It is ongoing improvement: most patients start with three sessions and see incremental change after each one.
A pen-held cartridge of nine microneedles passes over the skin, breaking up the tethering that holds a scar's indentation in place and stimulating the body's natural healing. The scar gets a second chance to repair itself, without surgery or lasers.
Acne scarring first and foremost, but also other types of scarring elsewhere on the body, including stretch marks, which are a form of scar. Melasma responds too, which matters because lasers cannot treat it. Wrinkles, sagging skin and enlarged pores round out the list.
A topical numbing cream goes on first to minimize discomfort. The treatment itself feels a bit like sandpaper passing over the skin, and some scarred areas are more sensitive than others, so parts of the session can be less comfortable than the rest.
Pricing varies from patient to patient, based on the regions targeted and the total surface area treated. You receive a detailed, personalized quote at your consultation.
Scars cannot be erased.They can be improved.
Scarring is permanent, and no treatment completely removes it. What RejuvaPen does is break up what holds the scar down and let the skin rebuild, which very visibly improves how it reads. Honest expectations are part of the treatment.
ModelYou have acne scarring
The most common reason patients book RejuvaPen here, and the concern it treats best. Indented scars respond as the tethering beneath them is broken up.
You have scars or stretch marks elsewhere
Many types of scarring on other parts of the body can be treated, including stretch marks, which are a type of scar.
Your concern is melasma
Melasma cannot be treated with lasers. Microneedling is one of the routes that remains open to it.
Your expectations are realistic
Scarring is permanent and cannot be completely erased. What RejuvaPen offers is a genuine improvement in its appearance, not its disappearance.
You can schedule the downtime
Skin runs very red for about 48 hours afterwards. A Friday appointment with the weekend as downtime is the practice's own recommendation.
Honest medicine.Honest numbers.
Book a consultA single microneedling session with hyaluronic acid serum, or $1560 for a package of three, which is how most plans are built. You receive a personalized plan at the consultation before anything is scheduled.
Every plan is priced at a consultation before anything is scheduled. No deposits, no surprises.
Where a facecarries its texture.
Microneedling is a texture treatment, so it goes wherever the texture is: scarring, enlarged pores, etched lines, patches of pigment. And because stretch marks are a type of scar, the same treatment works on the body, not just the face.
Select any marker to see what improves there. The regions treated, and the total surface area, are what shape your personalized quote at the consultation.
Four questions we are askedbefore almost every microneedling appointment.
Expect your skin to be very red after treatment and the day after; the redness is typically gone in 48 hours. We recommend scheduling two days of downtime and staying out of the sun completely, which is why a Friday appointment with the weekend to recover is the smart booking. Makeup can go on the next day.
A topical numbing cream is applied first to minimize discomfort. The treatment itself feels a bit like sandpaper going over the skin, and some scarred areas are more sensitive than others, so parts of the session may be less comfortable than the rest.
We recommend starting with three, and you are likely to see incremental improvement after each one. Many patients continue with one or two more sessions after the series, not because the result regressed, but because they see the progress and want to keep it going.
Use mild, gentle products and sunscreen. Your skin will feel radiant and soft the day after treatment, and because your pores are open, moisturizers and hydrating oils absorb unusually deeply. Enjoy that while it lasts through the healing process.
