Clinically proven to boost collagen, reduce fine lines and acne scars, with visible results after just one session.
Not all Microneedling devices are created equal
At CLEO Skin + Laser, we are focused on results while ensuring your safety comes first. That's why we use the SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, for our microneedling services, the gold standard in collagen induction therapy.
This device creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your skin's natural collagen and elastin production, and because SkinPen® is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types, we can create a personalized treatment plan no matter your skin type or texture concerns. Combined with the skill and experience of our providers, every session is tailored to your skin and goals.
Smoother texture, fewer scars, and visibly younger-looking skin
SkinPen® creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin's natural repair process, smoothing rough texture and softening the appearance of acne scarring over a series of sessions.
By stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production, SkinPen® helps soften fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin firmer and more youthful with each treatment.
SkinPen® tightens the look of enlarged pores and evens out overall texture, refining your skin's appearance with a smoother, more refined look that continues to improve in the weeks after treatment.
SkinPen® helps break up hyperpigmentation and sun damage, encouraging fresher skin cell turnover for a more even, radiant complexion.
The Science Behind SkinPen®
Every client starts with a thorough consultation, so your provider can understand your skin and goals before your first treatment begins.
We apply a topical numbing agent before treatment, so you stay comfortable while we customize depth and coverage to your skin's needs, session after session. And unlike older microneedling devices, SkinPen® doesn't drag across the skin, allowing for more comfort and better results.
SkinPen® uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, delivered with precise depth control for consistent, targeted treatment without damaging your skin.
Your skin's natural repair response kicks in to heal these microinjuries, boosting collagen and elastin production at each site.
Over the following weeks after your session, your skin continues rebuilding collagen, gradually revealing smoother, more even-toned skin.
| SkinPen® | Other Devices | |
|---|---|---|
| FDA Clearance | The first and only microneedling device to receive full FDA clearance | Most devices on the market are not FDA-cleared |
| Sterility | Sterile, single-use needle cartridges sealed with a safety hood for every client | Components are often reused or lack the same sealed design |
| Needle Mechanism | Internal reciprocating mechanism ensures complete, consistent needle insertion and retraction on every pass | Many devices rely on spring-based mechanisms, which can be less reliable over time |
| Customization | Adjustable needle depth lets your provider tailor treatment to your exact skin concerns | Depth control is often more limited or less precise |
| Downtime | Minimal — most clients see redness resolve within 24 hours | Recovery varies more widely depending on device quality |
| Proven Results | Backed by clinical trials for acne scars, wrinkles, and texture across all skin types | Claims often aren't backed by the same level of clinical evidence |
The technology is only part of the equation. The other part is the person behind it. A great laser in untrained hands can still miss the mark, while an experienced provider knows how to adjust for your hair, your skin, and your goals.
All of our providers are extremely experienced and trained to ensure your safety and that we are providing you with the best results possible.
