Safe, effective SkinPen Microneedling in Lambertville
SkinPen Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that creates hundreds of thousands of controlled micro-punctures per second, triggering the skin’s natural wound-healing response to remodel tissue without scarring. We treat patients from Lambertville and across the Toledo and Sylvania area with the SkinPen Elite device, the first FDA-cleared microneedling system in the world.
Most people can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
At Angie Scott Skin Health, we use the SkinPen Elite Microneedling device, which is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the WORLD, clinically proven to safely and effectively fight the appearance of neck wrinkles, acne scarring, and more!

Why Try SkinPen Microneedling in Lambertville?
01
Increase Collagen Production
The SkinPen microneedling process is performed to encourage skin rejuvenation, your own skin cells do the work by generating new collagen, which leads to brighter, smoother skin.
02
Treat Texture From Within
Skincare products alone can't treat texture like microneedling. This treatment uses the power of your body's natural healing to induce collagen production and resurface your skin.
03
Cost Effective
SkinPen Microneedling in Lambertville is a simple yet effective treatment for scarring and other texture problems. However, it's also very affordable given how much "heavy lifting" it can do.
Deciding between texture-focused treatments? Microneedling drives longer-term collagen remodeling for scarring, laxity, and stretch marks, with more downtime. For a lower-downtime option focused on glow and pore clarity, see our DiamondGlow facial page. Patients targeting acne scarring specifically may also want to review our chemical peel options.

To prepare for SkinPen Microneedling in Lambertville, we suggest:
- Avoid the use of retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, AHAs (e.g., glycolic acid), and BHAs (e.g., salicylic acid), and other topical agents that increase skin sensitivity for at least 48 hours before your treatment.
- Do not take anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, ginkgo, vitamin E, fish oil, etc., for at least 3 days to avoid interference with the natural inflammatory process.
- Do not have any IPL/Laser procedures for two weeks prior.
- Avoid sun exposure and all tanning methods for at least two weeks.
- Do not wax, epilate, use electrolysis, or any other hair removal methods on the treatment area for at least a week prior.
- Do not shave the treatment area the day of the procedure to avoid irritation. If you have dense hair, closely shave the area the day before your appointment.
- Ensure you are properly hydrated, as this helps the healing process.
- Tell your specialist if you have been on Accutane in the last six months or if you are prone to cold sores.
- Please arrive with a bare treatment area, clean of any lotion, oil, makeup, powder, perfume, or sunscreen.
Following SkinPen Microneedling in Lambertville, it is important to:
- Avoid using anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, etc.) for at least a week. You may use Tylenol for any soreness.
- Wait at least 4 hours, then gently wash with a gentle cleanser and cool water, using only clean hands.
- Do NOT ice the face or use any arnica or bromelain to avoid interfering with the natural inflammatory process.
- Avoid strenuous exercise that causes sweating, as well as saunas, jacuzzis, and steam baths for at least 48 hours.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed for 2 to 3 days.
- Do NOT pick, scratch, or scrub any peeling or flaking skin. Allow this to occur naturally and keep skin moisturized at all times with a hyaluronic acid serum.
- Avoid topical skincare and Retin-A products for 5 days or until skin is no longer irritated.
- Schedule follow-up and repeat treatments after 4 to 6 weeks to continue to see results!
