Collagen Induction Therapy
FDA-cleared microneedling for smoother texture, softer acne scars, and refreshed, radiant skin — with little downtime
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates controlled micro-channels to trigger the skin's own repair response — building collagen to soften texture, scarring, and fine lines. Sessions take 30-60 minutes with about a day of mild redness, and results build over the following weeks with a series.
Medically reviewed by Melissa Cook, NP
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These tiny micro-injuries trigger your body's natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin.
At MC Aesthetics in McMinnville, SkinPen is a favorite for clients who want noticeable improvement in acne scars, fine lines, and texture with little downtime — and it's safe for all skin types and tones.

Why Patients Choose
A clinically studied microneedling device trusted for collagen induction therapy.
Stimulates your skin's natural collagen and elastin — results that build over time.
Often just a day of mild redness before you're back to your routine.
Safe and effective across all skin types and tones.

Your Visit
Your SkinPen session begins with a consultation and a numbing cream for comfort. The treatment itself typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area. Afterward, expect mild redness similar to a light sunburn for about 24 hours.
We'll provide simple aftercare guidance, and your skin will continue to improve over the following weeks as new collagen develops. A series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended for the best results.

Why MC Aesthetics
SkinPen is traditional microneedling — an accessible, effective entry point into professional skin rejuvenation. For clients whose primary goal is firming and laxity, we also offer Scarlet RF Microneedling, which adds radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin.
During your consultation at MC Aesthetics, we'll recommend whether SkinPen or Scarlet RF is the better fit for your goals — honest guidance, never a hard sell.
