SkinPen® is a professional microneedling treatment that uses a precision-engineered device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.

This activates the skin’s natural repair process and stimulates collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins that help maintain skin firmness, structure and elasticity.

 

As your skin heals, new collagen forms and the skin gradually remodels itself. This can help soften the appearance of scarring, improve uneven texture and leave your complexion looking fresher and more refined.

 

Unlike treatments that rely on harsh heat or chemical exfoliation, SkinPen® works by encouraging your skin’s own natural regenerative response.

 

What can SkinPen® help with?

 

SkinPen® microneedling may help improve the appearance of:

 

* Acne scarring: Helps soften the appearance of post-acne scarring and uneven skin texture.

* Fine lines and wrinkles: Supports collagen production to improve the appearance of fine lines, particularly in appropriate treatment areas.

* Uneven skin texture: Helps create a smoother, more refined-looking complexion.

* Enlarged-looking pores: May help improve the appearance of pores by supporting smoother skin texture.

* Dull, tired-looking skin: Encourages skin renewal for a fresher, more radiant appearance.

 

Results vary depending on your skin concerns, individual healing response and treatment plan.

 

What happens during your treatment?

 

1. Consultation and skin assessment

 

We begin by discussing your concerns, assessing your skin and deciding whether SkinPen® is suitable for you. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs.

 

2. Skin preparation

 

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. A topical numbing cream may be used where appropriate to improve comfort.

 

3. Microneedling treatment

 

The SkinPen® device is gently passed over the treatment area using a professional, controlled technique. The treatment stimulates your skin’s natural repair response and supports collagen remodelling.

 

4. Aftercare advice

 

Following your treatment, we provide personalised aftercare guidance to support healing, protect your skin and help you achieve the best possible outcome.

 

When will I see results?

Your skin begins its natural repair process immediately after treatment, but visible improvements develop gradually as new collagen forms. Some clients notice improvements in skin texture and radiance over the following weeks, with further changes developing over several months.

 

A course of treatments may be recommended to achieve more noticeable improvements, particularly for acne scarring. Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate treatment schedule for your skin.

 

Is there any downtime?

Following SkinPen®, your skin may appear red and feel warm, tight or sensitive, similar to mild sunburn. Temporary dryness or flaking may also occur as your skin recovers. These effects commonly settle over the first few days, although recovery varies between individuals.

 

You will receive tailored aftercare advice, including guidance on gentle skincare and sun protection. Avoid direct sun exposure and follow your practitioner’s instructions regarding active skincare products and makeup.

 

Is SkinPen® suitable for everyone?

 

SkinPen® is not suitable for every client. A consultation and medical screening are essential before treatment. Treatment may need to be avoided or postponed in certain circumstances, including pregnancy or breastfeeding, active skin infections, open wounds, irritated skin, certain medical conditions or medications, and a history of abnormal scarring.

 

Your practitioner will assess your suitability and discuss potential risks, expected results and alternative options before proceeding.
