A Non-Surgical Approach to Smoother, Healthier-Looking Skin
Hilton Head Island | Bluffton
Many patients struggle with uneven skin tone, fine lines, or lingering acne scars that no topical treatment seems to touch. These concerns can chip away at confidence, especially as time goes on. MDPen Microneedling offers a proven, safe, and effective way to rejuvenate your skin naturally—stimulating your body’s own collagen and elastin production for firmer, clearer, and more radiant skin over time.
What Is MDPen Microneedling?
Microneedling with the MDPen is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that uses a fine-tipped, medical-grade device to create a series of microchannels on the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin. As the skin begins to repair itself, it becomes smoother, tighter, and more radiant in appearance.
The process also enhances the absorption of targeted serums, allowing them to penetrate deeper and deliver more visible results. MDPen Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and is commonly used to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote overall skin rejuvenation.
The treatment is generally well tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Post-procedure, the skin typically appears red or flushed—similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Some tightness or sensitivity may occur but usually subsides within a few hours and significantly diminishes over the next 24 hours. By day three, most signs of the procedure are no longer visible.
Areas Treated with Microneedling
This treatment can be performed on both the face and body to target:
- Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture on the nose and forehead
- Acne scars and pigmentation on the cheeks and chin
- Neck lines and stretch marks
- Abdominal or breast surgery scars
- Hair thinning on the scalp
What to Expect from Treatment
How It Works
During treatment, the MDPen is passed over the skin in a precise pattern to create micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing process. This process boosts collagen production and improves the skin’s ability to absorb beneficial serums—leading to smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.
Minimal Downtime, Long-Term Results
Microneedling is not a surgical procedure, and most patients experience only mild redness or sensitivity that subsides within a few days. With a personalized treatment plan, many patients begin to see improvement within 1–2 weeks, with optimal results developing over several sessions.
Safe for All Skin Types
MDPen Microneedling is safe for all skin tones and types, including ethnic and sensitive skin. It is a trusted treatment option for those looking for real results without the risk of pigmentation changes associated with more aggressive lasers or peels.

FAQS About MDPen Microneedling
Before treatment, we may advise you to pause certain medications, including retinoids, acne treatments, or anti-inflammatory medications. These adjustments help support the best possible results and minimize irritation.
Most patients report minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
Results are cumulative, so we generally recommend a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider will create a custom plan based on your goals and skin condition.
Initial improvements can appear within 1–2 weeks as new skin regenerates. Continued collagen production over time leads to ongoing refinement of skin texture and tone.
At-home rollers do not penetrate the skin deeply enough to stimulate true collagen production. MDPen Microneedling is a medical-grade procedure performed by trained professionals to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Mild redness and sensitivity are common for the first 24–72 hours. We recommend gentle skincare, sunscreen, and avoiding active ingredients during the initial healing period. Many patients return to normal activities the next day.
