Boost Collagen Naturally with SkinPen Microneedling
If you're looking to achieve smooth, youthful, and glowing skin, SkinPen Microneedling is the game-changing treatment you need.
SkinPen Microneedling treatment has gained popularity for its ability to naturally stimulate collagen and improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. At The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach, we specialize in delivering exceptional results using the most advanced microneedling treatments available in Hampton Roads.
In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of SkinPen Microneedling, how it works, and why incorporating your neck and décolleté in the treatment is essential (nips up!).
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production. Using a device equipped with fine needles, the SkinPen creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
SkinPen Microneedling is versatile and safe for all skin types, making it an excellent option for anyone looking to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage
By stimulating natural collagen, SkinPen Microneedling delivers noticeable improvements without the use of chemicals or invasive procedures.
Why Collagen Production Matters
Collagen is the foundation of healthy, youthful skin. It provides structure, elasticity, and hydration, but unfortunately, collagen production slows down as we age. By the time you reach your 30s, your skin is producing less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging.
Microneedling treatments, including SkinPen Microneedling, are specifically designed to combat the decline of collagen. By encouraging your body to produce more collagen, SkinPen Microneedling treatments restore your skin’s natural vitality and help improve the visible effects of aging.

Include Your Neck and Décolleté in Microneedling Treatments (Nips Up!)
While the face is often the focus of microneedling treatments, it’s just as important to treat your neck and Décolleté (chest). These areas are highly susceptible to the effects of aging and sun damage, often showing fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration before other parts of the body.
Benefits of treating the neck and décolleté:
- Consistency: Creates a cohesive appearance by rejuvenating all visible areas.
- Prevention: Addresses early signs of aging in these delicate areas.
- Enhanced Results: Complements facial microneedling for more comprehensive treatment results.
At our Virginia Beach med spa, we offer customized treatment plans that include the face, neck, and décolleté to ensure your skin is glowing, nips up!
