If you’re looking for a safe, non-invasive way to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and clarity—SkinPen® microneedling is your go-to solution. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we use the first FDA-cleared microneedling device to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production, helping you achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin—without lasers, chemicals, or downtime.
SkinPen is a precision microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, medical-grade needles. These tiny punctures trigger your body’s natural healing process—stimulating collagen and elastin production, which are the building blocks of healthy, youthful-looking skin.
The result? Skin that appears tighter, smoother, and more even-toned over time.
✅ FDA-cleared and clinically proven
✅ Safe for all skin types and tones
✅ Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
✅ Customizable for multiple areas—face, neck, décolleté, hands, and even stretch marks on the body
✅ Excellent for treating acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and uneven texture
Unlike more aggressive treatments, SkinPen offers natural rejuvenation that improves your skin from the inside out—without causing heat damage or peeling.
– Acne scars and pitted skin
– Fine lines and early signs of aging
– Large pores and skin roughness
– Dull or uneven skin tone
– Stretch marks
– Neck wrinkles (“tech neck”)
– Overall skin tightening and glow
Whether you’re looking for a skin reset or a long-term solution to scarring and texture concerns, SkinPen microneedling offers powerful results with a gentle approach.
SkinPen microneedling isn’t just a trend—it’s a scientifically backed treatment trusted by dermatologists and aesthetic professionals worldwide. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we love SkinPen because it delivers real results through natural healing, without harsh chemicals or downtime.
Whether you’re targeting acne scars, fine lines, or overall texture, SkinPen stimulates collagen from within, giving your skin the tools it needs to regenerate and glow.
✅ Boosts Natural Collagen and Elastin Production
SkinPen creates micro-injuries that activate the body’s healing response, leading to stronger, firmer, and healthier skin over time.
✅ Reduces Acne Scars and Textural Irregularities
Clinical studies show SkinPen significantly improves the appearance of acne scars, smoothing pitted areas and uneven skin surfaces.
✅ Minimizes Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen, SkinPen helps soften expression lines and early signs of aging—especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
✅ Refines Pores and Evens Skin Tone
Say goodbye to dull, tired-looking skin. Microneedling helps shrink large pores and improves overall brightness and texture.
✅ Safe for All Skin Types and Tones
Unlike lasers or aggressive peels, SkinPen is non-thermal and doesn’t target pigment, making it suitable for all skin tones with minimal risk.
✅ Little to No Downtime
You may be slightly red for 24–48 hours, but most clients return to normal activities the next day. It’s the perfect lunch break glow-up.
✅ Customizable and Versatile
Treat more than just your face—SkinPen can also be used on the neck, chest, hands, and body to reduce scars and stretch marks.

Considering microneedling but not sure what to expect? We’ve got you covered. Here are the most common questions our clients ask about SkinPen treatments at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness:
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
SkinPen is great for:
– Acne scars
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Rough skin texture
– Large pores
– Stretch marks
– Neck and chest rejuvenation
– Dull or uneven skin tone
Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to minimize any discomfort during the session.
The entire appointment typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, including numbing time. The microneedling portion itself usually lasts 15–30 minutes depending on the treatment area.
For best results, we often recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Clients treating acne scars or deeper texture issues may benefit from additional sessions. Maintenance treatments every 6 months can help extend your glow.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience:
– Redness similar to a mild sunburn (24–48 hours)
– Slight sensitivity or tightness
– Occasional flaking or dryness as your skin heals
Most clients return to work or daily activities the next day.
You’ll likely notice improved tone and texture within a few days, with collagen regeneration continuing over the following weeks. Most clients see the best results 4–6 weeks after each session.
Yes! SkinPen is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI). It doesn’t rely on heat or light, making it an ideal choice for clients with darker complexions or sensitive skin.
Absolutely. We often pair SkinPen with:
– PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for a “vampire facial” boost
– LED light therapy to reduce inflammation
– Medical-grade serums for enhanced hydration and glow
Still have questions? Book a consultation with our expert team at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, and we’ll walk you through every step of the process based on your skin goals.
At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we make every SkinPen session a smooth, comfortable experience. Whether you’re here for your first microneedling treatment or continuing your skin renewal journey, our expert team ensures that every step is tailored to your unique skin needs.
Here’s what you can expect during your SkinPen microneedling appointment:
Your treatment starts with a one-on-one consultation where we evaluate your skin’s texture, tone, and concerns. We’ll identify your goals and determine if SkinPen is the right fit, then create a custom treatment plan based on your needs.
Before microneedling begins, your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils or impurities. We then apply a topical numbing cream for 15–30 minutes to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Using the SkinPen device, your provider gently glides the tool across the treatment area. The ultra-fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, which activate your body’s natural healing response. You may feel light pressure or a sandpaper-like sensation, but most clients say the treatment is very tolerable.
After microneedling, we may apply:
– Medical-grade hydrating serums to enhance results and support healing
– PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) if you’re receiving a vampire facial, to stimulate collagen even further
Once the session is complete, we’ll apply a soothing post-treatment serum and go over aftercare. Most clients experience redness (like a sunburn) that fades within 24–48 hours. We’ll provide home care recommendations to protect and enhance your results.
– Total Time: 45–60 minutes
– Numbing Time: 15–30 minutes
– Microneedling Time: 15–30 minutes
– Downtime: Minimal (24–48 hours of redness or dryness)
– Results Timeline: 1–2 weeks post-treatment, with continued improvement over time
Microneedling with SkinPen is a simple, science-backed treatment that triggers your body’s natural healing power to rebuild smoother, firmer, and more even skin—one session at a time.
