Microneedling with a pen is one of the most dependable ways to refresh your skin’s texture and tone. It works with your body’s own healing process — no surgery, no heat — and at Montville MedSpa & Pain Center it is performed by our trained aesthetic team.
What Is Pen Microneedling?
Also called collagen induction therapy, pen microneedling uses a pen-shaped device fitted with fine, sterile needles. As it moves across the skin it creates thousands of tiny, controlled channels. Your skin responds by repairing them — and in doing so it produces new collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin smooth and firm.
What Can It Help With?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven texture and a dull complexion
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Uneven tone
Microneedling Pen or Microneedling with Vivace?
Both treatments use microneedles to stimulate collagen. The difference is energy:
- Microneedling pen — the needles alone. A classic treatment for texture, tone and fine lines.
- Microneedling with Vivace® — adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles to deeper layers of the skin, for a tightening effect as well.
Not sure which is right for you? That is exactly what a consultation is for.
What to Expect
Consultation. We look at your skin, talk about what you would like to change and confirm that microneedling is a good fit.
Preparation. Your skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Treatment. The pen is glided over the treatment area. Most people feel light pressure or a mild scratching sensation.
Afterwards. Mild redness, much like a light sunburn, is common and fades on its own. Gentle cleansing, moisturizing and diligent sun protection help your skin heal, and your provider will give you aftercare instructions.

Frequently asked questions
What is pen microneedling?
A pen-shaped device with fine, sterile needles makes tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Your skin's natural repair response then produces new collagen and elastin, which improves texture and tone over time.
What is the difference between the microneedling pen and Vivace?
Both use microneedles to trigger collagen. Vivace® also delivers radiofrequency energy through its needles to deeper layers of the skin, which adds a tightening effect. The pen uses the needles alone, with no heat. Your provider will recommend the one that suits your skin and your goals.
Does pen microneedling hurt?
A numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most people feel only light pressure or a mild scratching sensation.
What happens after treatment?
Mild redness, much like a light sunburn, is common and fades on its own. Gentle cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection help your skin heal; your provider will give you aftercare instructions.
