Microneedling in Chicago - SkinPen at YA Skin Studio
Your skin already knows how to repair itself. Microneedling just gives it a reason to.
At YA Skin Studio, we use the SkinPen, the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA to create thousands of controlled micro-channels that trigger your body’s own collagen and elastin production.

Treatments & Pricing
Microneedling Services
Two SkinPen treatments are available, each calibrated for the area being treated.
Flagship Treatment
SkinPen Microneedling
Full-face SkinPen treatment using the FDA-cleared device. Stimulates collagen and elastin production to address acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. Depth settings are calibrated to your skin and concern.
Targeted Treatment
Neck Microneedling
Focused SkinPen treatment for the neck area, a commonly overlooked zone where collagen loss is often more visible than on the face. Designed as a standalone treatment or as a complement to a full-face protocol.
Microneedling Enhancements
Optional Add-Ons
Additions that can be paired with your SkinPen session to support healing or amplify regenerative results.
Salmon DNA
A purified, biocompatible serum rich in polynucleotides (PDRN) derived from salmon DNA. When delivered through the microneedling channels, it supports collagen synthesis, accelerates cellular repair, and enhances hydration.
+$30
Medical Grade Post Treatment Mask
A sterile, soothing recovery mask applied immediately after treatment to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and support barrier repair while skin is in its most sensitive healing window.

SkinPen vs. Other Microneedling Devices
SkinPen vs. Other Devices
Not all microneedling devices are equivalent, and the difference matters when your face is involved. SkinPen is the first and only microneedling device with FDA clearance, supported by published clinical studies demonstrating safety and efficacy across all skin types. That clearance is not a marketing badge, it means the device has been through rigorous testing for both safety and performance.
Many spas use unregulated microneedling pens or devices that lack FDA clearance, consistent depth control, or published safety data. We chose SkinPen because our clients deserve the clinical standard, not the budget option.
Precise depth control
Adjustable from 0.25mm to 2.5mm in fine increments, allowing your clinician to match the depth to the treatment area and concern.
Single-use sterile cartridges
A new cartridge for every client, every time, eliminating any cross-contamination risk.
Consistent needle speed and penetration
The motor maintains uniform depth across every pass, reducing the risk of uneven treatment or unnecessary trauma.
Clinical validation
Backed by peer-reviewed research, not just manufacturer claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling and how does it work?
What skin concerns does microneedling treat?
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply a topical numbing cream before every microneedling session, so most clients describe the sensation as a light vibration or mild prickling. Comfort levels vary by treatment area, and we adjust the SkinPen’s depth setting based on your skin and tolerance.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24-48 hours after treatment. Most clients return to normal activities the next day with mineral sunscreen and gentle moisturizer. We provide a detailed post-treatment care protocol to optimize your healing and results.
How is SkinPen different from other microneedling devices?
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, backed by clinical studies. It offers precise depth control (0.25mm to 2.5mm), single-use sterile cartridges, and consistent results across skin types. We chose SkinPen specifically because it meets the clinical standard our studio requires.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. We often combine microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), LED light therapy, or targeted serums for enhanced results. Your treatment combination is determined during your consultation based on what your skin needs most.
How much does microneedling cost in Chicago?
SkinPen microneedling at YA Skin Studio is $385 per session for the full face, and Neck Microneedling is available as a standalone treatment at $100. Add-ons such as Salmon DNA ($30) and a Medical Grade Post Treatment Mask ($20) are also available. Book a consultation to discuss the right protocol for your skin.
