What is Rejuvapen® Microneedling ?
Rejuvapen® Microneedling is an FDA-approved, professional skin-rejuvenation treatment that uses a motorized pen with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These small punctures trigger the skin’s natural repair process, supporting new collagen and elastin regeneration and improving the appearance and texture of the treated skin. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the epidermis and superficial dermis, Rejuvapen® supports the skin’s natural renewal process and helps improve uneven texture, fine lines, acne scars, and other visible skin concerns. The treatment works beneath the skin’s surface to promote gradual collagen remodeling, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more refreshed-looking skin over time.

What Concerns Does Rejuvapen® Microneedling Treat?
Rejuvapen® Microneedling can improve several common skin concerns, from uneven texture and scars to fine lines, pigmentation, and mild skin laxity.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles that become more noticeable as collagen production naturally declines with age.
Acne scars and surgical scars
Uneven or indented scar tissue left behind after acne breakouts, injuries, or surgical procedures.
Stretch marks
Visible lines that develop when the skin stretches rapidly, often appearing on the abdomen, thighs, hips, or other areas.
Hyperpigmentation
Dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and visible signs of sun exposure that can leave skin looking uneven.
Skin texture and tone
Rough, uneven skin texture and an inconsistent tone that can make the complexion look dull or less smooth.
Skin Laxity
Mildly loose or less-firm skin caused by changes in collagen and elastin over time.
Benefits of Rejuvapen® Microneedling
Enhances Collagen and Elastin Production:
Rejuvapen® Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin that stimulate collagen and elastin production, supporting firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin.
Improves Acne Scars and Uneven Texture:
The treatment encourages collagen remodeling to soften the appearance of acne scars, rough texture, and other surface irregularities for a more even-looking complexion.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
By supporting natural collagen production, Rejuvapen® Microneedling helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting smoother-looking skin.
Refines Pores and Skin Tone:
Microneedling supports skin renewal, helping minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and improve uneven skin tone and texture.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Results:
As collagen remodeling continues after treatment, your skin progressively looks smoother, firmer, and more refreshed while maintaining your natural appearance.
How Does Rejuvapen® Microneedling Work?
The Action: Creating Controlled Micro-Channels
Rejuvapen uses a fine needle cartridge that creates tiny, controlled channels through the epidermis and into the superficial dermis. These tiny, controlled punctures stimulate the skin without removing the entire surface layer, initiating the body’s natural repair response.
The Response: Activating the Wound-Healing Cascade
Tiny micro-injuries signal your skin to start its natural repair process. Platelets release growth factors that activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. As fibroblast activity increases, new collagen and elastin are formed to support the skin’s structure, firmness, and elasticity. At the same time, existing collagen begins to reorganize as part of the skin’s natural remodeling process.
The Visible Outcome: Gradual Skin Renewal
As your skin produces new collagen and elastin, the treated tissue gradually becomes more supported and refined. Over 4 to 6 weeks, this remodeling process helps improve skin firmness and texture while softening the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores. As the new collagen develops, your skin looks smoother, firmer, and more refreshed.

Your Rejuvapen® Microneedling Journey with The Laser Cafe in San Diego
Appointment
Your Rejuvapen® Microneedling appointment at The Laser Cafe begins with a discussion of your skin concerns, aesthetic goals, and the areas you want to improve. We assess your skin and focus on areas that need extra attention, including forehead lines, lines around the eyes, nasolabial folds, and the lower face.
Treatment Session
During your treatment, we cleanse and prepare your skin before moving the Rejuvapen device across the full face. We focus on the areas discussed during your consultation while the fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin. You can expect a tolerable vibrating sensation, along with pinpoint bleeding and redness as the skin responds to the controlled stimulation.
Results
Right after treatment, your skin can look red and show small pinpoint marks as the healing process begins. Small pinpoint scabs can develop during recovery, with typical downtime lasting 1 to 3 days. As your skin heals and collagen remodeling continues, improvements in fine lines, texture, and overall skin appearance become more noticeable.
Pre-Treatment Care
- Arrive with clean skin and avoid applying makeup, heavy moisturizers, or other skincare products before your appointment.
- Avoid active skincare products such as retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliating acids, scrubs for 5-7 days before your appointment to stabilize the skin barrier and prevent adverse reactions.
- Limit prolonged sun exposure and tanning for 1-2 weeks before your appointment to reduce the risk of irritation and pigmentation.
- If recommended by your provider, you may need to avoid blood-thinning medicines and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 3–5 days before treatment to help minimize bruising and pinpoint bleeding.
- Avoid waxing, threading, or other hair-removal treatments on the area for at least 5–7 days before your appointment to prevent unnecessary irritation and sensitivity.
Post-treatment care
- Wait 4–8 hours before washing your face after Rejuvapen® Microneedling.
- After the initial waiting period, gently cleanse your face with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and lukewarm water.
- Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated while it heals.
- Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and limit direct sun exposure during recovery.
- Let any flaking or pinpoint scabs shed naturally; do not pick, scratch, or peel the treated skin.
- Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, makeup, waxing, swimming, excessive heat, and strenuous exercise until your skin recovers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Rejuvapen® Microneedling suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Rejuvapen® Microneedling is generally suitable for sensitive skin because it uses controlled mechanical stimulation without heat or harsh chemicals. Its adjustable needle depth allows treatment to be tailored to the skin, while the surrounding skin remains largely intact to support the skin barrier during the healing process.
Can Rejuvapen® Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Rejuvapen® Microneedling can be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, laser treatments, and injectables as part of a personalized skin-rejuvenation plan. Combining these treatments can address different concerns, including uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Each procedure is scheduled with appropriate spacing to give your skin enough time to recover between treatments.
How many Rejuvapen® sessions are needed?
Most patients need 3 to 4 Rejuvapen® Microneedling sessions, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve noticeable skin rejuvenation. The exact number of sessions depends on your skin concerns, goals, and the level of improvement you want to achieve.
Are Rejuvapen® results permanent?
No, Rejuvapen® results are not permanent. As your skin naturally ages and collagen levels change over time, the effects gradually fade. Maintenance treatments can help extend the improvements and keep your skin looking smoother, firmer, and refreshed.
