At Flawless Aesthetics, we believe in treatments that support your skin, not overwhelm it. In a world of trendy machines and aggressive devices, it’s easy to forget that sometimes the best results come from working with your skin’s natural repair systems- not against them.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’ve added SkinPen® microneedling to our suite of advanced skin treatments here in Chattanooga.

What is SkinPen?
As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the U.S., SkinPen has earned its reputation as the gold standard in collagen-induction therapy. It stimulates natural collagen and elastin by creating millions of controlled microchannels in the skin- triggering your body’s own repair process to improve texture, soften lines, fade scars, and restore a healthy glow.
Unlike heat-based technologies, SkinPen doesn’t rely on inflammation or thermal injury to remodel the skin. Instead, it offers a precise, mechanical approach that’s effective, requires little to no downtime, and is safe for all skin tones and types.
✨ Pro Tip for Maximum Results: For an added boost, our aestheticians can apply exosomes immediately following your SkinPen session. These powerhouse growth factors amplify collagen production, speed up healing, and maximize your glow.

SkinPen vs. RF Microneedling
Because we offer both Sylfirm X RF Microneedling and SkinPen, patients often ask which is best. The answer? It depends on your skin and your goals.
SkinPen Microneedling
Best for: acne scars, fine lines, overall skin texture, neck wrinkles.
Works by: creating millions of microchannels to stimulate collagen naturally.
Benefits: safe for all skin types, little to no downtime, low risk of scarring.
RF Microneedling (Sylfirm X)
Best for: skin laxity, redness, melasma, rosacea, stretch marks.
Works by: combining microneedles with targeted radiofrequency heat.
Benefits: enhanced tightening effect, deeper repair for certain conditions.
💡 Did you know? While RF microneedling like Sylfirm has its place for certain concerns, it cannot create the ~3 million microchannels that a SkinPen session can. More microchannels = more natural collagen stimulation and smoother, healthier skin.

Why We Offer Multiple Microneedling Options...
Because every patient’s skin is unique, we offer multiple microneedling technologies to match different needs: SkinPen®, Sylfirm X RF Microneedling, and Collagen P.I.N. With the addition of SkinPen, our patients now have an FDA-cleared option that’s gentle yet powerful, safe for all skin types, and designed to remodel skin naturally (without unnecessary trauma).
