How Microneedling Works
Microneedling works by using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
These tiny punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, triggering collagen and elastin production. As the skin repairs itself, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in texture. Microneedling also enhances the absorption of skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness for improved overall skin health.
What Microneedling Treats
Treatment Options
SkinPen
At The Skin Clinic, we use a SkinPen for microneedling treatments in Mankato. It’s a medical-grade microneedling device with small, adjustable needles that create micro-incisions in your skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes smoother skin texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. The SkinPen is both precise and versatile. As a result, it’s suitable for treating many parts of the body with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What to Expect
First, a team member cleans the treatment area. Then, they use the SkinPen device to create micro incisions across your skin. This process takes about 30 minutes. Once the treatment is complete, we’ll provide aftercare instructions.
The results include a reduced appearance of wrinkles, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. Your skin will appear smoother, firmer, and more radiant over time, with continued enhancement as collagen production continues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling is safe, but consult with a dermatologist if you have active acne, eczema, rosacea, infections, keloid tendencies, or are pregnant. You may need personalized advice and risk assessment.
We typically use a topical numbing cream before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Some people may feel a sensation similar to light scratching or mild stinging during the treatment, but it is usually well-tolerated.
The results of microneedling can vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. Some people notice an improvement in skin texture and tone within a few days to a week after their first treatment.
