SkinPen Microneedling at Sherman Aesthetic Center

SkinPen is a precision microneedling treatment that triggers your skin's natural repair process to produce new collagen and elastin. At Sherman Aesthetic Center, treatments are performed by our team of registered nurses under the direction of board-certified surgeons Dr. Deborah Sherman and Dr. Mark Melson.

Because our practice is built on deep expertise in facial anatomy, we tailor every SkinPen session to your skin type, concerns, and goals for natural, healthy-looking results.

What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA, indicated for the treatment of facial acne scars in adults 22 and older as well as neck wrinkles. The handheld device uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin.

How SkinPen Stimulates Collagen Production

Each micro-channel prompts the skin to launch its own healing response. Over the following weeks, your skin produces fresh collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity. The result is smoother, more even skin that improves gradually and looks like you, only refreshed.

What Skin Concerns Can SkinPen Treat?

SkinPen microneedling addresses a wide range of texture and tone concerns, including:

  • Acne scars on the face
  • Fine lines and wrinkles, including neck wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and mild discoloration
  • Enlarged pores and rough texture
  • Overall dullness and loss of firmness

Because SkinPen works mechanically rather than with heat or chemicals, it is safe for all skin types and tones.

What Happens During a SkinPen Treatment in Nashville?

Your appointment at our Nashville office begins with a numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Your Sherman Aesthetic Center nurse then glides the SkinPen device across the treatment area, adjusting needle depth for delicate zones like the under-eye and forehead. Most sessions take about 30 minutes.

Is There Downtime After SkinPen Microneedling?

Downtime is minimal. Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for one to three days, sometimes with light flaking. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with makeup typically permitted after 24 hours. We will send you home with clear aftercare instructions and sun protection guidance.

When Will I See SkinPen Results?

Many patients notice a healthy glow within a week, but true remodeling takes time. Collagen rebuilds over several weeks, with continued improvement for up to six months. For acne scars and deeper texture concerns, we generally recommend a series of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart.

Am I a Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?

Most healthy adults bothered by acne scarring, fine lines, or uneven texture are excellent candidates. SkinPen may not be right for patients with active acne breakouts, active cold sores, or certain skin conditions in the treatment area. During your consultation, our team will review your skin and medical history, discuss alternatives such as chemical peels or DiamondGlow, and build a plan suited to you.
