Your First SkinPen Visit for Face, Neck and Chest
By Radiance: Beautiful Skin | August 16, 2026
A first SkinPen visit is mostly conversation, numbing cream and a gentle pass over the skin, followed by clear aftercare. Here is the visit in order, so nothing surprises you.
Before you come in
We will give you prep instructions at booking. In general, expect to pause retinoids and strong exfoliants for several days, avoid a sunburn or tan, and arrive without makeup if you can. Let us know about any medications.
Step by step
1. Consult
We look at your skin, ask about your goals and go over your history. This is the time to mention pregnancy, cold sores, skin conditions or blood thinners.
2. Cleanse and numb
Your skin is cleansed and a numbing cream goes on so the treatment is comfortable. You wait while it works.
3. The treatment
We move the pen over the face, then the neck and chest. Most people describe a scratchy, vibrating feeling rather than pain. The neck and chest can feel a bit more sensitive.
4. Aftercare
We apply a soothing product and talk through your first days at home.
The first few days
Skin is usually pink and warm, then dry, and it may flake. Most people feel comfortable going about their day, though you may prefer to plan a quiet evening. Keep it clean, moisturized and covered with sunscreen.
Wondering how the results fade? We wrote about how long face and neck results tend to last.
