You may have heard about microneedling for treating acne scars, fine lines, or uneven skin—but did you know it can also help fade surgical scars and improve skin texture all over the body?

At RISE Medspa, inside Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Houston, we offer SkinPen®, the only FDA-cleared microneedling device that delivers safe, precise, and effective results for both facial rejuvenation and scar improvement.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery or simply want a smoother, more radiant complexion, SkinPen offers real results—with minimal downtime.

What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is a professional microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin.

It’s one of the most trusted and clinically studied microneedling treatments available today.

At RISE Medspa, SkinPen is commonly used to improve:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Dull, rough, or textured skin
  • Surgical scars (such as tummy tuck, breast lift, or arm lift scars)
  • Stretch marks

Because it’s minimally invasive and safe for all skin types, SkinPen is a popular option for both face and body.

SkinPen for Surgical Scars

If you’ve had a cosmetic procedure like a tummy tuck, breast surgery, arm lift, or body lift, you’ve likely asked: How can I fade my scar faster?

SkinPen is an excellent solution for reducing the appearance of new or mature surgical scars by:

  • Softening thick or raised scar tissue
  • Smoothing uneven skin around the incision
  • Improving color and texture
  • Helping scars blend more naturally with surrounding skin

Treatments are most effective when started 3 to 6 months after surgery, once the incision has fully closed and healing is underway.

Most patients begin to see visible results after a series of 3 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart. We may combine microneedling with exosomes or growth factors to accelerate healing and improve outcomes.

SkinPen for the Face

Of course, SkinPen is also one of the best options for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. It treats common concerns like:

  • Acne scarring
  • Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Mild laxity and texture issues
  • Overall skin dullness

Because it stimulates your skin’s own collagen, SkinPen results look natural—and continue to improve over time.

What to Expect During Treatment

SkinPen sessions at RISE Medspa are quick, comfortable, and effective.

  • Numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort
  • A sterile, single-use cartridge is used for every patient
  • Most appointments take 30–45 minutes
  • Redness is common for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn
  • You’ll begin to see smoother, more radiant skin in about one week, with full collagen remodeling continuing over several months

Who’s a Good Candidate?

SkinPen is safe for all skin tones and types. You may be a good candidate if you’re looking to:

  • Improve the look of scars from cosmetic or trauma-related surgery
  • Treat post-acne scarring or rough skin
  • Minimize fine lines without injectables
  • Refresh your skin between seasons or major events
  • Prevent early signs of aging

Our team at RISE Medspa will evaluate your skin, timeline, and treatment goals to create a personalized plan that delivers visible results—safely and naturally.
