Eclipse MicroPen™

The Eclipse MicroPen™ is an automated, medical-grade micro-needling device used to refresh the skin’s appearance by triggering the body’s own collagen production. As the device passes across the skin, an array of fine sterile needles creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the epidermis — too small to see, but enough to activate the skin’s natural healing response. This process, known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), gradually softens fine lines, smooths irregular texture, and improves overall tone. Because the technique relies on mechanical micro-stimulation rather than heat, it offers an effective alternative for patients who want meaningful skin improvement without the downtime or thermal effects associated with laser treatments.

Dr. Maurice Khosh offers Eclipse MicroPen treatments at his Park Avenue practice in New York City. Dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Khosh is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a published author on facial skin treatment — his chapter “Surgical Treatment of Facial Scars” appears in the Thieme Publishers textbook on facial plastic surgery (2014), and he has authored additional chapters with Oxford University Press and McGraw Hill on related topics in facial reconstruction and rejuvenation. A perennial Castle Connolly Top Doctor and recipient of the Best Doctors in America and Patients’ Choice Awards, Dr. Khosh draws on three decades of facial plastic surgery experience to calibrate every micro-needling treatment to the patient’s skin type, concerns, and tolerance.

Benefits of Eclipse MicroPen Microneedling

Micro-needling with the Eclipse MicroPen offers several distinct advantages as a non-surgical, in-office facial rejuvenation option:

• Stimulates Natural Collagen: Activates Collagen Induction Therapy to gradually firm and smooth the skin from within
• Reduces Fine Lines and Texture Concerns: Improves the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture
• Versatile Treatment Areas: Works on the face, neck, décolleté, and other body areas where skin renewal is desired
• Comfortable and Heat-Free: Avoids the thermal effects associated with laser treatments, often described as more tolerable
• Minimal Downtime: Mild redness typically resolves within one to two days, with makeup permitted immediately

“Microneedling sounds simple — small needles, controlled depth — but the technique and depth chosen for each patient is what determines the result. The same device used at the wrong depth or speed can either underperform or cause unnecessary irritation.” — Dr. Maurice Khosh

The Eclipse MicroPen Procedure

A typical Eclipse MicroPen treatment at Dr. Khosh’s office takes 15 to 30 minutes. After cleansing the skin, Dr. Khosh applies a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The MicroPen is then passed across the treatment area, where its high-speed motor delivers a series of precisely calibrated micro-channels through the surface of the skin. Most patients describe the sensation as a light sandpaper-like feeling, and the speed and technique of the device are adjustable to maximize comfort throughout the session.

Recovery and Results

Following treatment, patients can expect some mild redness similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within one to two days. Makeup may be applied immediately to camouflage any residual redness, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Visible improvements to skin tone and texture become apparent as new collagen forms in the weeks following each session. In most cases, Dr. Khosh recommends a series of three to five treatments — spaced several weeks apart — to achieve optimal rejuvenation, with the exact number tailored to each patient’s skin condition and goals.

Receiving microneedling from a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon ensures both safety and meaningful long-term results. The Eclipse MicroPen can offer a refreshed, more youthful complexion without the discomfort or recovery time of more invasive procedures — but the outcome depends on accurate calibration of depth, density, and treatment intervals for your specific skin.
