Microneedling (SkinPen) in Richmond, VA

At Montante Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we proudly offer SkinPen® microneedling, an FDA-cleared treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and restore a healthy glow. Whether you’re looking to smooth acne scars, minimize pores, or refresh your overall complexion, microneedling is a safe and effective solution.

What is Microneedling (SkinPen)?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a handheld device with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is considered the gold standard in safety and effectiveness.

Benefits of Microneedling:

Patients choose SkinPen microneedling because it addresses multiple skin concerns with little downtime. Benefits include:

  • Improves overall skin tone and texture

  • Reduces fine lines and early wrinkles

  • Minimizes acne scars and other surface scarring

  • Shrinks enlarged pores

  • Helps fade stretch marks

  • Safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin

For enhanced results, microneedling can also be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or other advanced skin therapies.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Your microneedling session is performed in a comfortable treatment room by one of our highly trained providers.

  • A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.

  • The SkinPen device is gently passed across your skin, creating tiny microchannels.

  • Most treatments take 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

  • Following treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within 24–48 hours.

Most patients notice visible improvements after their first session, with optimal results achieved in a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Microneedling is ideal for men and women who want to improve their skin’s tone, texture, and overall health. You may be a good candidate if you want to:

  • Reduce acne or surgical scars

  • Minimize early signs of aging

  • Brighten a dull complexion

  • Address uneven texture or enlarged pores

  • Boost your skin’s natural radiance without aggressive lasers or downtime

Our team will evaluate your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.

Procedure Aftercare and Expected Results

It is best to avoid using makeup and other products on the treated skin while still healing. However, a mild cleanser followed by an unscented moisturizer and sunscreen is acceptable to use. Sunscreen should always be used when sun exposure is possible to protect skin and extend microneedling results. Though fine lines and wrinkles may immediately improve after a Richmond microneedling treatment, the full effects may take several weeks, with the best outcome seen after multiple treatments.
