SkinPen Microneedling in Media, PA — collagen induction, FDA-cleared.
Controlled microinjury that triggers your skin to build fresh collagen and elastin. The FDA-cleared device. The most-effective non-laser treatment for acne scars and texture.
Media patients drive about 22 minutes down Route 1 or 352 to reach our Chadds Ford location. We’re the closest medspa with on-site physician oversight to the Media-Rose Tree corridor.

If you’ve seen this before
You’ve seen SkinPen Microneedling done badly.
Most patients who come to Contoured for skinpen microneedling have tried at least one other provider. The recurring patterns:
- Acne scarring you’ve been told “there’s nothing for.”
- A “microneedling” treatment at a chain spa using an off-brand roller.
- Texture changes from sun damage that no serum touches.
- Stretch marks you stopped trying to treat years ago.
That’s not how we work.
What we use, and why
SkinPen Precision (the only FDA-cleared microneedling device). Conservative dosing. Dr. Lam reviewing every plan.
We use SkinPen Precision (the only FDA-cleared microneedling device). We chose this specific device/protocol because of clinical evidence, predictability, and our clinical team’s deep experience with it. Every plan is reviewed by our Medical Director, Dr. Benjamin Lam, DO — board-certified plastic surgeon and clinical associate professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
What it actually is
SkinPen Microneedling — in plain language.
Microneedling creates hundreds of microscopic channels in the skin using sterile single-use needle cartridges. The micro-injury triggers a collagen-rebuilding response that lasts months.
We use SkinPen Precision — the ONLY microneedling device FDA-cleared for facial use. The depth is adjustable (0.25mm to 2.5mm) so we can treat surface texture and deeper acne scarring at the same visit.
For acne scarring specifically, microneedling is the best non-laser treatment available. We typically do a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with visible improvement after each.
Many practices use unbranded “derma rollers” or knockoff devices — those are not FDA-cleared, can cause more harm than good, and don’t deliver consistent depth. We only use SkinPen.
“The collagen-building treatment that earned its FDA clearance the hard way.”
How we work
The Contoured Method — for SkinPen Microneedling.
Every skinpen microneedling patient moves through these four steps. The same way. The same hands.
- 01
Listen
Free 30-minute consult. We look at the area you want treated, talk about what bothers you, and tell you what we’d do — and what we wouldn’t. No pressure to book that day.
- 02
Plan
A written long-term plan, with package pricing available if it suits. You decide when to come back.
- 03
Treat
Conservative dosing. Precise technique. Same provider each visit. Every plan reviewed by Dr. Lam.
- 04
Track
Photos at follow-up. Notes that travel with you. Year-over-year continuity is the result.
Who’s holding the device
The same hands
The same hands
every visit.
Continuity is the work. We don’t hand you off, and Amy has been studying faces for twenty years.

Common questions
The things people ask before booking.
Does microneedling hurt?
We numb thoroughly with topical lidocaine for 30 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe sensation as scratchy or vibrating, not painful. The forehead can be more sensitive than the cheeks.
How many sessions will I need?
For general anti-aging and texture: 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. For acne scarring: 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Annual maintenance after the initial series.
Will I have downtime?
Yes — 2–3 days of redness similar to mild sunburn, plus some flaking. You can apply mineral makeup at 24 hours. Most patients schedule on a Thursday and are presentable by Monday.
Can I use my retinol after?
Stop retinol 5 days before and resume 5 days after. The active ingredients are too irritating on freshly-treated skin.
Is it safe on darker skin?
Yes — microneedling is one of the safer collagen-stimulating treatments for Fitzpatrick types IV–VI because it doesn’t use light or heat. We modify the depth and protocol but the technique is safe.
What’s the difference between SkinPen and PRP/”vampire facial”?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is your own blood’s growth factors, drawn at the visit and applied during microneedling. We offer it as an add-on. The base microneedling gives 70% of the result; PRP adds another 20%.
