SkinPen® Microneedling in Maryland
Simple and effective treatment without the need for surgery
What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?
Fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes are natural signs of aging and daily life. At Profile MD, we understand the desire for healthy, younger-looking skin even as we age.
That’s why we offer SkinPen® Microneedling treatments, an FDA-cleared treatment to help maintain firm and clear skin to counteract signs of aging. It is a quick, simple, and effective treatment without the need for surgery.
Microneedling helps boost collagen production by using ultra-thin needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin that trigger your skin’s natural healing process. Increased collagen production leads to firmer and younger-looking skin.
Profile MD proudly offers premier SkinPen® Microneedling in Maryland to help you feel connected to your younger self. Using industry-leading technology and techniques, our certified doctors offer personalized care plans for SkinPen® treatments for all skin types and concerns.

Conditions Treated With SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® Microneedling is a versatile skin rejuvenation treatment that targets a range of common skin concerns. It works by stimulating the skin’s natural healing process, releasing collagen and elastin to stimulate firmer and smoother skin, to ease the look of uneven, aged, or damaged skin.
Common skin concerns treated with SkinPen® include:
Acne Scars
Smooths out pitted or uneven skin caused by past breakouts.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Improves skin elasticity and reduces visible signs of aging, such as fine lines or wrinkles on the face and neck.
Enlarged Pores
Minimizes pore size for a more refined, even complexion.
Uneven Skin Tone & Texture
Helps correct rough skin patches and tone irregularities.
Sun Damage & Hyperpigmentation
Fades sun spots and improves skin clarity over time.
Stretch Marks
Reduces the appearance of stretch marks by improving skin texture.
Surgical or Traumatic Scars
Helps soften and fade older surgical or deep scars with repeated treatments.
Skin Laxity
Firms mildly sagging or crepey skin by boosting collagen production.
What Is the SkinPen® Treatment Like?
As the leading provider of SkinPen® Microneedling in Maryland, Profile MD is here to relieve any unknowns or concerns related to your questions on “What is SkinPen® Microneedling?”
Our dual-board-certified doctors bring years of experience and certification in preventive and internal medicine to make every treatment safe, comfortable, and effective for treating your concerns and the whole you.
Microneedling is performed in our state-of-the-art facility with our caring and skilled medical team. We begin with a consultation to meet you and understand your specific skin concerns and goals of treatment, and develop a personalized care plan. Before you arrive on treatment day, we ask that you avoid using retinol products in the days leading up to ensure the SkinPen® technology works properly and painlessly on your skin.
The entire procedure takes less than an hour, typically anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the area you wish to treat.
Most patients experience mild to minimal discomfort, described as a warming or pressure sensation. Our care team will apply a topical numbing cream before beginning the process to enhance your comfort as your doctor uses the microneedling device to treat the targeted area(s).
Recovery & Results
At Profile MD, SkinPen® microneedling offers impressive results with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your normal routine quickly and comfortably.
Immediately following your treatment, you may experience mild redness and skin sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These effects are completely normal and typically resolve within a few days. SkinPen® recovery varies depending on individual skin types, but our team will provide you with personalized guidance to support a smooth healing process.
Timeline of Common Post-Treatment Effects
Immediately After Treatment
Mild redness and a sunburn-like sensation may occur, and the skin can feel tight or swollen as an initial response to the SkinPen® Microneedling process.
1–2 Days After
Redness typically begins to fade after 1 to 2 days, and minor flaking or dryness may develop as your skin begins its natural healing cycle.
3–5 Days After
After 3 to 5 days, the skin continues its natural recovery, and most patients can begin applying makeup at this time if approved by the provider.
After 1 Week
Skin often feels noticeably smoother and looks more refreshed as collagen production continues beneath the surface.
Aftercare Tips
To maximize your results and promote healing:
- Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily.
- Use only gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
- Avoid exfoliants or active ingredients (like retinol) until skin heals.
- Do not pick or scratch at peeling skin.
When Will I See Results?
Visible SkinPen® microneedling before and after results typically emerge within a month of treatment. According to SkinPen®, 94% of patients noticed improvement in neck wrinkles, and 80% saw a reduction in acne scars just one month after treatment.
