SkinPen® Microneedling
Ready to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out? At Sorora, we use SkinPen®—the first FDA-cleared and Health Canada–approved microneedling device, backed by clinical studies for safety and proven results. Unlike generic microneedling tools, SkinPen® is precision-engineered to deliver consistent, effective outcomes.
Using sterile, adjustable micro-needles, the device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin health while softening texture, evening tone, and restoring firmness.
Benefits include:
- Softens fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces acne scars and textural concerns
- Lightens melasma and pigmentation
- Improves tone, firmness, and elasticity
- Safe for all skin tones with minimal downtime
- Clinically proven and performed only by trained, licensed providers

- Chemical peels or laser treatments for at least 1 week
- Sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for 1 week

- Makeup on the treatment area (arrive with clean skin)
DURING the treatment
- Performed by trained and licensed providers under physician supervision
- A topical numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort
- The SkinPen® device is guided across the treatment area, creating precise micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production
- A soothing, medical-grade ointment is applied to hydrate and protect the skin
Post-Treatment Instructions
Mild redness, warmth, or sensitivity (similar to a sunburn) is common and usually resolves within 24–48 hours. To support healing and maximize results, avoid:
- Direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 1 week
- Heavy workouts, sweating, saunas, or hot tubs for 24–48 hours
- Makeup on the treated area for 24 hours (or until redness subsides)
- Harsh skincare (retinol, acids, exfoliants, scrubs, benzoyl peroxide) for 5–7 days
- Picking, scratching, or touching the treated area
- Waxing, threading, or depilatory creams for at least 1 week
- Swimming (chlorine/bacteria exposure) for 48 hours
Our providers will give you detailed aftercare instructions and recommend medical-grade skincare to support healing and enhance your results. Improvements begin within days and continue to build for weeks as your skin naturally renews.
