What Is SkinPen
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen® Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin by stimulating its natural repair process. The SkinPen device uses fine, sterile needles to create thousands of precise micro-injuries in the skin’s surface—prompting the body to produce new collagen and elastin, the building blocks of smooth, youthful skin.
Unlike harsh resurfacing treatments, microneedling works gently and effectively from within, improving the skin’s tone, texture, and overall health over time. It’s ideal for reducing the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and large pores
- Uneven texture or dullness
- Mild skin laxity
- Stretch marks and discoloration
At Luminaire Medical in Largo, MD, Lauren Moody, MSN, FNP, performs every SkinPen treatment with precision and care, tailoring needle depth and technique to your skin type and goals. The result is a smoother, more radiant complexion that looks naturally refreshed.
How it Works
How SkinPen Microneedling Works
SkinPen® Microneedling rejuvenates the skin through a process known as collagen induction therapy. Using a hand-held device with precision-controlled micro-needles, the SkinPen creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface.
These tiny micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response—stimulating new collagen and elastin production while maintaining the skin’s overall structure. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture.
Each session is customized to target specific concerns. Shallow depths may be used for delicate areas or fine lines, while deeper settings can effectively address acne scarring or uneven texture.
Because SkinPen works at a cellular level without heat or chemicals, it’s safe for all skin types and tones and involves minimal downtime.
At Luminaire Medical in Largo, MD, Lauren Moody, MSN, FNP, uses advanced microneedling protocols to deliver results that look refreshed, natural, and radiant—never overtreated or artificial.

Here are a few steps to follow before your appointment:
Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and topical acne products
for 3–5 days before treatment.
Discontinue blood-thinning medications or supplements
(like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or fish oil) for a week prior, unless prescribed by your physician.
Skip tanning and limit sun exposure
For at least one week before your session.
Hold off on Botox®, fillers, or laser treatments
In the same area for two weeks before microneedling.

What to Expect During
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment in Largo, MD
Your SkinPen® Microneedling treatment at Luminaire Medical is designed to be comfortable, precise, and highly effective.
When you arrive, Lauren Moody, MSN, FNP, will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once your skin is prepped, the SkinPen device is gently passed over the treatment area, creating thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin’s surface.
You may feel light pressure or a mild vibration during the procedure, but most patients find the treatment very tolerable. Depending on the size of the area treated, the session typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes.
Afterward, your skin may appear slightly pink—similar to a mild sunburn—but this usually subsides within a day or two. You’ll leave your appointment with your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and ready to begin its natural renewal process.
At Luminaire Medical, Lauren’s technique focuses on precision and balance, helping your skin achieve a healthy, even glow with minimal downtime.

One of the advantages of SkinPen® Microneedling is its quick recovery and gradual, natural-looking improvement.
