Solara Aesthetics is one of a limited number of Tucson practices offering Dermapen 4, an FDA-cleared professional microneedling device. Every treatment is personally performed by Dr. Jennifer Aranas, a board-certified physician.
Why does the device matter?
Microneedling devices differ in their design, needle control, safety features, and intended uses. Dermapen 4 uses a sterile, single-use cartridge containing 16 needles and allows the provider to adjust treatment depth based on the area being treated and the patient’s individual needs.
The device is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults age 22 and older with Fitzpatrick skin types I through V.
At Solara Aesthetics, your treatment plan is based on your skin type, concerns, medical history, tolerance, and goals. Dr. Aranas uses a conservative, individualized approach and provides clear preparation and aftercare instructions.
Topical numbing is typically used before treatment to improve comfort. Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding may occur afterward. Most patients return to normal activities within a short period, although recovery varies.
Professional post-treatment skincare may be recommended to support comfort and protect the skin barrier during recovery. Any optional add-on products will be discussed separately, including their intended use, limitations, and potential risks.
Consultations are available in English and Spanish.

-

WHAT IT IS
Dermapen 4™ is a microneedling device designed to create tiny microchannels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries may trigger your body’s natural healing response, helping to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The treatment is often explored to support the appearance of:
-
Acne scars
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Enlarged pores
-
Uneven skin tone and texture
-
Dark spots or melasma
-
Stretch marks or other skin imperfections
HOW IT WORKS
Dermapen 4™ microneedling involves three key phases:
Phase I: Inflammation
The device creates microchannels that may activate the body’s natural response to begin the healing process.
Phase II: Proliferation
New skin cells and supportive structures begin to form as part of the repair cycle.
Phase III: Remodeling
As the skin continues to renew, the outer texture and tone may gradually improve, revealing a more refined appearance over time.
WHAT TO EXPECT
-
Before Treatment: A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort.
-
During Treatment: The SkinPen device is gently moved across the skin to create controlled micro-injuries.
-
After Treatment: You may experience mild redness or tenderness, which often resolves within 24–48 hours.
Each session typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the area treated. A series of 3 or more treatments spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
