What Is Collagen and Why Does It Matter for Skin Health?
Walk into any beauty aisle and you’ll notice one word popping up everywhere: collagen.
Collagen is in beauty creams, drinks, supplements, and powders. People are seeking ways to get it through multiple methods because of what it seems to promise. In wellness circles, it is described as if it’s a fountain of youth. In beauty and skincare, it seems to signify glowing skin.
Here’s the truth: collagen does matter. It’s the most abundant protein in your body. It gives structure and resilience to your skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue. The challenge is that it begins to decline in our mid-20s, accelerated by pollution, stress, and lifestyle factors.
Does Microneedling Work? How SkinPen® Builds New Collagen
So how do you produce new collagen? You have to activate your own body’s repair mechanisms—and that’s where microneedling comes in.
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, built on one principle: the skin knows how to heal itself. Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your body’s natural wound-healing process. This triggers fibroblasts to lay down fresh collagen and elastin, leading to visible improvement beneath the skin’s surface.
How does microneedling build collagen?
Collagen creams can’t reach the dermis, where collagen is made. Microneedling works from the inside: tiny, controlled injuries signal fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin. Because the results come from your own healing response, they look natural and keep improving for weeks after each session. (For other ways to support collagen, see how to boost collagen in your skin.)
What results can you expect from SkinPen?
- Smoother skin texture and smaller-looking pores
- Softened fine lines
- Visible improvement in acne scars
- Many patients notice a difference within three treatments
Because SkinPen relies on your body’s healing response, results look natural and continue to improve over time, with minimal downtime.
