Skin texture and tone
If you'd like to polish your skin because its texture feels or looks uneven, those are the areas you'll map out with your provider before the first visit.

SkinPen® Microneedling · Fall 2026
A three-visit SkinPen series at Lakes Dermatology — face and neck at every visit, with ALASTIN prep and recovery products included. Plan on about 90 minutes for each appointment, including prep, numbing, 30–50 minutes of treatment, and post-care. $1,125 through October 31.
How SkinPen works
SkinPen uses very fine needles to create millions of microchannels in the skin — too small to see, at a depth your provider sets for the area being treated. Your skin responds the way it does to anything that needs mending: it gets to work rebuilding, and makes new collagen along the way.
That's why this is a series and not a single appointment. Each visit gives your skin another round of repair to do, and the effect accumulates. Your body builds the collagen, while ALASTIN Regenerating Skin Nectar+ supports the treatment protocol before and after each session.
If you'd like to polish your skin because its texture feels or looks uneven, those are the areas you'll map out with your provider before the first visit.
SkinPen is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults age 22 and older, across all Fitzpatrick skin types — and facial acne scars can be treated year-round. If you're younger than 22, the team can discuss whether another treatment is more appropriate.
SkinPen is cleared to treat neck wrinkles too — and the neck is exactly what most facial plans skip. When it's appropriate for your skin, your provider will treat the area safely and effectively to improve the look of neck wrinkles and overall skin quality.
Face + neck, treated together
Most people notice their own neck long before anyone else does. Lines and texture carry over from the face — but facial treatment usually stops at the jaw, and the neck gets sold separately, or not offered at all.
Your neck is treated at all three visits. No add-on charge, no separate appointment.
Your provider will let you know whether neck treatment is right for you.
The treatment experience
Your provider will walk you through what to expect, apply numbing cream before treatment, and check in with you as they go.
Your provider cleanses and prepares your skin first. The SkinPen device then passes over your face and neck for approximately 30–50 minutes. Allow about 90 minutes for the full appointment, including prep, numbing, treatment, and post-care.
Afterward your skin may look pink, similar to a mild sunburn, for up to 24 hours, and may feel tender or dry.

Fall package · Purchase by October 31, 2026
These aren't a gift with purchase — they're part of the treatment. Microneedling works through your skin's own repair response, and the ALASTIN protocol is designed to support that response before and after each session. Your provider will tell you when to start the kit and how to use each product around your visits.
Purchase by October 31, 2026. All three treatments must be completed within one year of purchase. Available at Lakes Dermatology in Burnsville and St. Louis Park. Medical candidacy must be confirmed before treatment.
After you purchase
Buying doesn't lock you into a date — it starts the process. We recommend a no-cost cosmetic consultation with the experienced Lakes Cosmetic Team so they can confirm SkinPen is right for you and build your treatment plan. If SkinPen isn't recommended, your purchase will be applied as a credit toward products or another treatment.
First, a no-cost cosmetic consultation. The experienced Lakes Cosmetic Team goes over your skin history and what you want to work on, confirms whether SkinPen is right for you, and recommends the best treatment plan before anything gets scheduled.
This is where the ALASTIN kit comes in. It's used before and after each session, so your skin goes in prepared and gets looked after coming out — with a SkinCeuticals masque following every visit.
Three visits, face and neck each time. Active treatment takes approximately 30–50 minutes; allow about 90 minutes for the full appointment. Your provider sets the spacing between visits.
Your skin may look pink for about a day. You'll use one SkinCeuticals Biocellulose Masque after each visit, plus any aftercare your provider recommends.
Clear answers before you purchase
Comfort varies by person and by the area being treated. Your skin is cleansed first and a numbing cream is applied before treatment. Your provider will talk you through what to expect before starting and check in with you as they work. If comfort is your main concern, bring it up at a consultation — they can tell you what patients typically report.
Your skin may look pink, similar to a mild sunburn, for up to 24 hours. You may also notice temporary tenderness, itching, dryness, or peeling. Your provider will send you home with aftercare instructions specific to you.
This treatment isn't for everyone. If the Lakes Cosmetic Team determines SkinPen isn't the right treatment for you, your purchase will be applied as a credit toward products or another treatment they recommend.
For facial acne scars, SkinPen is cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types in adults age 22 and older, and facial acne scars can be treated year-round. The neck indication is narrower, so your provider will confirm whether neck treatment is appropriate for your skin type. If you're younger than 22, the team can discuss whether another treatment is more appropriate.
SkinPen is microneedling — it works by prompting your own collagen. Lakes also offers laser treatments and radiofrequency microneedling, which work differently and suit different concerns. If you're not sure which one fits your skin, a no-cost consultation is the fastest way to find out.
Treatment of the face and neck takes approximately 30–50 minutes. Allow about 90 minutes for the full appointment, including prep, numbing, treatment, and post-care. You'll have three sessions in the package, spaced according to the plan you build with your provider.
We recommend a no-cost consultation with the experienced Lakes Cosmetic Team to talk about what you want to work on, your medical history, timing, and whether SkinPen is a good fit — then build your plan and find out when to start the included ALASTIN products. If SkinPen isn't recommended, your purchase will be applied as a credit toward products or another treatment. If you'd rather talk it through before buying, request a consultation below.
Your provider will review how your skin responded and recommend what maintenance plan or next steps make sense for you — whether that's products, additional SkinPen sessions, or another treatment such as Revision Biostim.
The $1,125 package includes three full-face SkinPen treatments, a complimentary upgrade to include neck treatment at all three sessions, an ALASTIN procedure-enhancement skincare kit, ALASTIN Regenerating Skin Nectar+ for peptide collagen boost, and three SkinCeuticals Biocellulose Masques. The package must be purchased by October 31, 2026, and all three treatments must be completed within one year of purchase.
