SkinPen Microneedling.
Smoother Skin.
Without the Downtime.
If your skin looks dull, uneven, or textured — and you want real improvement without aggressive recovery — SkinPen Microneedling with PRF is a powerful place to start. Medical-grade collagen induction. Minimal disruption to your life.
Before & After — SkinPen with PRF
Real patients, real treatment series. Each result is the outcome of a full SkinPen course with PRF — not a single session. Individual results vary based on skin condition, consistency, and aftercare.
Your Skin Looks Tired —
And Products Aren’t Enough Anymore
Topical products work at the surface. SkinPen works below it — triggering your skin’s own repair processes to build new collagen from within. If you recognize any of these, you’re likely a strong candidate.
Dull, Uneven Skin
Loss of radiance and uneven tone that makes skin look tired regardless of how well you care for it. SkinPen accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen, restoring the glow that products alone can’t deliver.
Enlarged Pores & Rough Texture
Pores that look larger than they used to and a rough skin surface that keeps makeup from sitting smoothly. Microneedling tightens pore appearance and significantly refines overall texture over a treatment series.
Early Lines & Mild Scarring
Fine lines beginning to settle in, or mild acne scarring that’s always bothered you. SkinPen is one of the most effective entry-level treatments for both — without the downtime of laser resurfacing.
SkinPen is the ideal starting point for patients who want real skin improvement without aggressive treatment or significant downtime.
SkinPen is our Level 1 (GLOW) treatment — ideal for texture, pores, dull skin, and early aging with minimal downtime. It’s not always the right level for every patient or every goal.

What SkinPen Microneedling
Actually Does
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device — a medical-grade tool that creates thousands of precisely controlled micro-channels in the skin. Each channel triggers your body’s natural healing response, initiating collagen and elastin production in the treated area.
Why We Pair SkinPen with PRF
Standard microneedling creates the injury signal that tells your skin to rebuild. PRF — Platelet-Rich Fibrin derived from a small sample of your own blood — delivers a concentrated dose of growth factors directly into those micro-channels while they’re open and receptive.
The result is a significantly enhanced healing response. Your skin rebuilds faster, collagen production increases, and the overall quality of your outcome improves meaningfully compared to microneedling alone. PRF is included with every SkinPen treatment at Roberts Aesthetics & Wellness — it’s not an add-on. It’s the standard.
Micro-channels are created in the skin
The SkinPen device creates thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in the skin at a precise depth calibrated to your skin condition and goals. These channels are invisible to the naked eye but significant enough to trigger a real healing response.
PRF is applied into the open channels
Your PRF — processed from a small blood draw at the start of your appointment — is applied topically and drives directly into the micro-channels. Growth factors begin stimulating collagen, elastin, and tissue repair immediately.
Your skin rebuilds — better than before
Over the following days and weeks, new collagen forms in the treated areas. Texture refines, pores tighten in appearance, fine lines soften, and overall skin quality improves. Results compound with each treatment in a series.

Why SkinPen Remains One of Our Most Popular Treatments
Real Collagen Induction — Not Just a Facial
SkinPen triggers genuine biological repair beneath the skin’s surface — not a surface treatment. The collagen your skin builds in response is real, structural improvement that accumulates with each session in your series.
Minimal Downtime — 1 to 2 Days
Unlike RF microneedling or laser resurfacing, SkinPen requires only 1–2 days of mild redness. Most patients resume normal activities quickly — making it one of the most practical skin improvement treatments available.
PRF Included — Enhanced Results as Standard
Every SkinPen treatment includes PRF at Roberts Aesthetics & Wellness. You’re not getting basic microneedling — you’re getting the amplified version from your first appointment.
Safe for Most Skin Types
SkinPen is FDA-cleared for all skin tones and types, including deeper Fitzpatrick skin types that may not be candidates for certain laser treatments. It’s one of the most inclusive skin rejuvenation options available.
Results That Compound Over Time
Each treatment builds on the last. A series of three produces significantly more improvement than three single treatments spaced far apart. Most patients notice visible improvement after treatment one — and meaningful change after their full series.
An Excellent Starting Point — and Maintenance Tool
SkinPen is the right starting treatment for patients new to skin rejuvenation, and a powerful maintenance tool between higher-level treatments. Many patients who complete a Level 2 or 3 series use SkinPen to sustain their results.
What Patients Ask —
Answered Honestly
“Is this just a fancy facial?”
No — not even close. A facial works at the surface. SkinPen works below the dermis to trigger real collagen remodeling — the same process your skin uses to repair a wound. The micro-channels created are invisible, but the biological response is significant and measurable. Most patients see genuinely different skin after a series in a way that no topical treatment can produce.
“Will I peel or look like I had a laser?”
No. SkinPen is not a resurfacing laser — it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin. You may have 1–2 days of mild redness similar to a sunburn, and your skin may feel slightly dry or tight as it heals. That’s it. There is no significant peeling, no week of social downtime, and no need to clear your calendar.
“Is one treatment enough to see a difference?”
One treatment produces early improvement — you’ll likely notice a glow and smoother texture within a week. But real, lasting change comes from a series of three. Collagen induction is cumulative — each treatment builds on the last, and peak results are typically visible 2–3 months after your final session as collagen continues remodeling.
“Should I do SkinPen or RF Microneedling?”
It depends on your goals and degree of concern. SkinPen (Level 1) is ideal for texture, pores, dull skin, and early aging with minimal downtime. RF Microneedling (Level 2) adds radiofrequency heat energy for deeper collagen remodeling and laxity improvement, with comparable downtime but more noticeable results. If you’re unsure, your consultation will make the right level clear. Compare all three levels →
Good Candidates — And Honest Exceptions
SkinPen is broadly appropriate — but it’s not the right level for every goal. Here’s a clear picture of who it serves best and when we might recommend stepping up.
You’re likely a great candidate if:
- You want smoother, more refined skin with minimal downtime
- You notice enlarged pores, rough texture, or dullness
- You have early fine lines or mild acne scarring
- You prefer a natural, collagen-building approach
- You want an entry-level treatment or maintenance between advanced sessions
- You have a darker skin tone that may not be suitable for certain lasers
SkinPen may not be enough if:
- You have moderate to significant skin laxity — RF Microneedling addresses that better
- You have deeper wrinkles, more established scarring, or significant sun damage
- You want more noticeable results and are comfortable with more downtime
- You have an active skin infection or open lesions in the treatment area
- You are pregnant or nursing
If SkinPen isn’t the right level for your goals, we’ll tell you at your consultation — and show you which level actually is.

Your Questions, Answered Directly
Is SkinPen a good starting treatment for skin rejuvenation?
Yes — it’s one of the best entry-level treatments for improving skin quality. It delivers real, biological improvement through collagen induction with minimal downtime, making it accessible to a wide range of patients. For patients with more significant concerns, we may recommend starting at Level 2 or 3 instead.
Does SkinPen hurt?
With proper numbing — applied for a full hour before treatment — most patients describe a mild scratching or pressure sensation rather than pain. The Zimmer cooling device and vibration tools further reduce discomfort during the procedure. Optional Pronox (laughing gas) is available for patients who want additional comfort support.
How often should I do SkinPen treatments?
A series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for best results. After completing your series, most patients return every 3–6 months for maintenance. Some patients use SkinPen quarterly as a skin health foundation alongside other treatments.
Can SkinPen be combined with other treatments?
Yes — and it often is. SkinPen is commonly used alongside neurotoxins, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare as part of a comprehensive skin strategy. Many patients also use it for maintenance between Level 2 or Level 3 series treatments. Your consultation will outline the most strategic combination for your goals.
What is the difference between SkinPen and RF Microneedling?
SkinPen (Level 1) uses microneedles alone to create micro-channels and stimulate collagen. RF Microneedling (Level 2) adds radiofrequency heat energy delivered at the tip of each needle, reaching deeper tissue layers and producing more significant tightening and collagen remodeling. Both use PRF. RF Microneedling produces more noticeable improvement but delivers comparable downtime of 1–2 days. Compare all three levels →
Do you serve patients from outside Houma, Louisiana?
Yes. We serve patients from across South Louisiana including Thibodaux, Raceland, Morgan City, and the greater Bayou Region. SkinPen’s minimal downtime and short appointment time make it particularly practical for patients traveling from a distance — in and out in under 2 hours total.
