SkinPen Microneedling, Performed by a Board-Certified Dermatologist
Microneedling works by prompting your skin to heal and rebuild itself, and how that process is guided matters. At Grace Dermatology, SkinPen treatments are performed by Dr. Lina Kennedy, who tailors depth and technique to your skin's specific needs.
Why See a Dermatologist for Microneedling
Microneedling depth and pattern should change based on the concern being treated and your skin type, and going too deep or in the wrong pattern can cause irritation or uneven results. Dr. Kennedy's dermatology background means your treatment plan is built around your skin, not a generic protocol.

Your Experience at Grace Dermatology
Consultation
We evaluate your skin and discuss your goals, including whether adding PRP to your treatment would benefit your results.
Treatment
Sessions typically take about 30 minutes. A numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort, and most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration rather than pain.
Results
Expect some redness for a day or two after treatment. Most patients see improved texture and tone over the following weeks, with a series of three to four sessions recommended for best results.
