SkinPen Microneedling in Marietta, GA
If Botox is our favorite treatment for movement, SkinPen is one of our favorite treatments for the skin itself.
SkinPen microneedling at New You Aesthetic is a minimally invasive treatment that creates controlled microchannels in the skin to stimulate the body's natural wound-healing process and support collagen remodeling.
We use SkinPen to address concerns such as acne scars, uneven texture and the appearance of fine lines. Treatment is customized based on your skin, goals and the area being treated.
New You Aesthetic offers SkinPen microneedling in Marietta, Georgia, serving clients throughout West Cobb and surrounding communities.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device. It uses small sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Those micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural wound-healing response, including remodeling of collagen in the treated area.
Unlike treatments that add volume or relax facial muscles, microneedling works by creating a controlled injury that prompts your own skin-repair process.
What Can SkinPen Treat?
SkinPen is FDA cleared for specific indications, including improving the appearance of facial acne scars in adults. Depending on the treatment area and individual plan, microneedling may also be used to improve the appearance of certain wrinkles or scars within the device's cleared indications.
At New You, SkinPen is commonly discussed with clients concerned about:
- Acne scarring
- Uneven-looking skin texture
- The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Overall skin rejuvenation and collagen-focused treatment plans
Your provider will assess your skin and determine whether SkinPen is appropriate for the concern you're trying to address.
Why We Like SkinPen
SkinPen doesn't depend on adding filler or changing facial movement. It works with the skin's own healing response, which makes it a useful option when the goal is improving skin texture and the appearance of scars or lines.
It's also highly customizable. Treatment depth and the areas treated are selected by the provider based on your skin and treatment plan.
And because apparently skin refuses to remodel itself on command, results develop over time rather than appearing as an instant overnight transformation.
How Much Is SkinPen at New You?
Single SkinPen treatment: $350
Package of 3 SkinPen treatments: $899
The package saves $151 compared with purchasing three individual $350 treatments.
We also offer Microneedling Mondays for $299 when applicable.
While one SkinPen treatment can be a great introduction to microneedling, we often recommend committing to a series of 3 when the goal is meaningful improvement in concerns such as acne scarring, uneven texture or fine lines. Microneedling works by initiating a natural wound-healing and collagen-remodeling response, and that process develops gradually rather than in a single appointment.

What Happens During a SkinPen Treatment?
Your appointment begins with an assessment of your skin and treatment goals. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment for comfort.
Your provider then moves the SkinPen device across the treatment area at settings appropriate for your skin and treatment plan. The device creates controlled microchannels while your provider works systematically across the area.
After treatment, the skin commonly appears red and may feel warm, tight or sensitive. Your provider will review specific post-treatment instructions before you leave.
What Is the Downtime?
SkinPen is often described as having relatively limited downtime, but it is not accurate to promise “no downtime.”
Redness, swelling, dryness, tightness, tenderness, peeling or sensitivity can occur after microneedling. How noticeable these effects are and how long they last varies from person to person and can depend on treatment intensity.
Plan your treatment with enough time before an important event rather than assuming your skin will look untouched the following morning.
When Will I See Results?
Microneedling results develop gradually because collagen remodeling and skin healing take time.
You may notice changes in how your skin looks and feels as it recovers, while improvement in concerns such as acne scars and texture may continue to develop over the weeks following treatment.
A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your concern and goals.
Why Do We Often Recommend a Series of 3 SkinPen Treatments?
SkinPen is a treatment where consistency matters. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that initiate the skin's natural wound-healing response and collagen remodeling. Those changes continue after each appointment, so the goal isn't to judge the entire treatment from one session.
For clients working on acne scarring, uneven texture or the appearance of fine lines, we often recommend a series of 3 appropriately spaced treatments. Each treatment gives us another opportunity to work on the concern while allowing the skin time to heal and remodel between sessions.
Committing to the series also makes it easier to evaluate progress as a treatment plan rather than treating once, waiting several months and essentially starting the conversation over again. Skin, like most humans, responds better to consistency than occasional bursts of enthusiasm.
Three treatments aren't automatically necessary for every client. Your provider will recommend the appropriate number and spacing based on your skin, treatment area, response and goals.
Package of 3 SkinPen treatments: $899 — a $151 savings compared with purchasing three individual treatments at $350 each.
SkinPen + PRF
New You also offers microneedling treatment plans that incorporate PRF (platelet-rich fibrin).
PRF is prepared from a sample of your own blood and contains platelets and other blood components. If you're interested in combining PRF with microneedling, your provider can explain how New You uses it, the additional cost and whether it makes sense for your treatment plan.
Adding PRF isn't automatically necessary for every SkinPen treatment. We want the add-on to have a reason for being there, not simply because the aesthetic industry discovered another acronym.
SkinPen vs. a Facial
A professional facial and SkinPen are very different treatments.
Choose a facial when your goal is customized professional skincare, cleansing, hydration, relaxation or routine skin maintenance.
Consider SkinPen when you're looking for a collagen-remodeling treatment and want to address concerns such as acne scarring, texture or the appearance of fine lines.
Many clients use both as part of a broader skincare plan, appropriately spaced based on the treatments they're receiving.
SkinPen vs. Chemical Peels
Both can be useful skin treatments, but they work differently. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries mechanically, while chemical peels use a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin at a selected depth.
The better choice depends on the concern you're treating, your skin, downtime preferences and treatment history. Sometimes a provider may recommend using both at different points in a treatment plan.
Who May Not Be a Candidate for SkinPen?
Microneedling isn't appropriate for everyone or every skin condition. Active infections, certain skin conditions, medications, healing concerns and other medical factors may affect whether or when you should be treated.
Tell your provider about your medical history, current medications, active skin conditions and recent procedures before treatment. Your provider will determine whether SkinPen is appropriate and when it can be safely performed.
SkinPen Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions
Is SkinPen the same as microneedling?
SkinPen is a specific professional microneedling device. Microneedling is the broader treatment category.
Does SkinPen hurt?
A topical numbing cream is typically used before treatment. Sensation varies by person and treatment area, but numbing helps make the procedure more comfortable.
Is there downtime after SkinPen?
There can be. Redness, swelling, sensitivity, dryness or peeling may occur after treatment. Your provider will explain what to expect and how to care for your skin afterward.
Can SkinPen help acne scars?
SkinPen is FDA cleared to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults. The number of treatments and degree of improvement vary by individual.
Does SkinPen shrink pores?
SkinPen may improve overall skin texture, which can affect how visible pores appear, but we don't promise that microneedling permanently “shrinks” pores. Pore size is influenced by several factors.
Can I combine SkinPen with PRF?
New You offers PRF as an option within certain microneedling treatment plans. Your provider can discuss whether adding PRF is appropriate for your goals.
Why should I commit to 3 SkinPen treatments?
Microneedling results develop through healing and collagen remodeling over time. When we're treating concerns such as acne scarring, texture or fine lines, a series of appropriately spaced treatments allows us to build on the treatment plan while your skin heals between sessions. That's why we often recommend starting with a series of 3 rather than expecting one treatment to do all the work.
How much is a package of 3 SkinPen treatments?
A package of 3 SkinPen treatments at New You is $899, saving $151 compared with purchasing three individual $350 treatments.
How often should I get SkinPen?
Treatment spacing depends on your skin, treatment intensity and goals. Your provider will recommend an appropriate schedule and allow sufficient healing time between treatments.
Can I get SkinPen right before an event?
We wouldn't recommend treating immediately before an important event. Because redness, dryness, sensitivity or peeling can occur, give your skin adequate recovery time and ask your provider how far ahead to schedule.
What skincare should I use after SkinPen?
Your provider will give you specific post-treatment instructions. Because the skin barrier is temporarily affected, follow the recommended aftercare rather than immediately returning to every active product in your bathroom cabinet.
