Your Guide to Smoother Skin with SkinPen Microneedling in Columbia MO
Looking for the fix that will finally fade your acne scars? You’re not alone. Many people spend years looking for the treatment that actually works, and if you’ve been doing your research, you’ve probably come across one treatment recommendation more than once: microneedling.
And for good reason. Microneedling is hands-down the best option to improve the appearance of acne scars, skin texture issues, fine lines, and texture. And while there are plenty of various microneedling device options to choose from, not all treatments are created equal.
The gold standard? SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and one of the most trusted treatments available, proudly offered right here at Lumia Med Spa.
If you’re ready to finally say goodbye to your acne scars with SkinPen Microneedling in Columbia MO, here's what you need to know.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
Let’s talk about microneedling first. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling, is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. Nearly painless and with little downtime, fine needles create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.
As your skin repairs itself, it gradually becomes:
Smoother
Firmer
More even in tone and texture
Better able to reflect light
More resilient overall
Unlike treatments that simply treat the surface, microneedling encourages your skin to remodel itself from within.
Why Is SkinPen Considered the Gold Standard?
Simply put, because not all microneedling devices are the same. We love SkinPen because it is:
FDA-cleared
Clinically studied
Precision-controlled
Safe for all skin types
Proven effective for acne scars and skin rejuvenation
Because treatment depth can be customized, SkinPen allows your provider (aka us) to address a variety of concerns while tailoring the experience to each patient's unique skin needs.
And if you know anything about us, you know that Lumia Med Spa is all about customization. Your skin needs are just as unique as you are, which is why we only use devices that can give you exactly what you need. And we’re not alone–SkinPen has become one of the most requested microneedling treatments nationwide.
What SkinPen Can Help With
One of the reasons SkinPen is so popular is because it can help with a multitude of skin concerns. Besides acne scars, it can help with:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production to soften early signs of aging
Large Pores: SkinPen improves overall skin support and texture
Mild Skin Laxity: Supporting firmer-looking skin over time
Overall Skin Rejuvenation: A favorite treatment for patients who simply want healthier, fresher-looking skin
One of our favorite perks? The number of people who report feeling confident without makeup after their SkinPen treatments. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Does Microneedling Hurt?
This is the biggest question we get. And here’s the short answer: most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. At Lumia Med Spa, we design it to be as easy as possible by applying a topical numbing treatment beforehand to help minimize discomfort.
During treatment, patients typically describe the sensation as mild pressure, light vibration, and slight scratching in certain areas. Most people tolerate SkinPen very well, and treatment is completed relatively quickly.
Following treatment, the skin may feel similar to a mild sunburn for a day or two as the healing process begins.
Let’s Talk About the Results
You will likely see some results after only one Lumia SkinPen Microneedling treatment at our Columbia, MO medical spa! However, SkinPen is not an overnight treatment, which is one of its greatest strengths. We recommend a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results. Your improvements will continue to develop gradually as your body’s natural collagen production increases.
Many patients notice:
Brighter skin within a few weeks
Improved texture after multiple sessions
Continued collagen production over time
Long-lasting skin quality improvements

How to Save on SkinPen Microneedling at Lumia Med Spa
Since microneedling results build over time, investing in a treatment package can also help you save money while also achieving your skin goals. At Lumia Med Spa, there are multiple ways to make the most of your investment.

Our membership options are designed to fit your budget, and you’ll receive bonus Lumia cash to use on your favorite treatments and products. Plus, we’ve made it flexible, hassle-free, and packed with perks!
If you’re committed to maintaining healthy, glowing skin year-round, membership is often going to get you the most bang for your buck.
The Perfect Pairing: Chemical Peels Between Microneedling Sessions
Your results are already going to be fantastic, but want to make them even better?
Here’s our pro tip: Enhance your SkinPen treatment plan by incorporating chemical peels between microneedling sessions.
Why? Because the two treatments work differently and complement one another gorgeously.
SkinPen targets collagen production, acne scars, texture concerns, and pore appearance. On the other hand, Chemical Peels target surface pigmentation, dullness, and skin tone irregularities. Together, they create a comprehensive skin rejuvenation strategy that addresses both deeper concerns and surface-level imperfections.
Many clients find that combining treatments helps accelerate overall skin improvement while keeping their complexion bright, smooth, and healthy-looking throughout the process.
Because when it comes to skin rejuvenation, the best results often come from a thoughtful combination approach.
