EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING

  • SkinPen Precision is a medical-grade microneedling device that creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin, encouraging your body’s natural wound-healing processes. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining youthful, healthy skin.

    Unlike laser treatments or chemical peels, this approach works mechanically using a micro needling pen, making it suitable for all skin types and tones year-round. It’s an ideal solution for those seeking to improve skin quality and support skin cell regeneration without aggressive downtime or invasive procedures.

  • Microneedling with SkinPen offers a wide range of benefits for patients looking to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health — all with minimal downtime. This clinically proven treatment works by using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production and activating the body’s natural healing response.

    Key microneedling benefits include:

    • Visible improvement in skin texture: Ideal for rough or bumpy skin and enlarged pores.

    • Reduction in acne scars and surgical scarring: SkinPen microneedling is an effective way to treat acne scars without the need for laser or chemical treatments.

    • Smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles: Regular microneedling sessions help soften static lines and support firmer skin.

    • Evening out skin tone and pigmentation: A brighter, more uniform complexion is often seen after a full SkinPen microneedling course.

    • Minimally invasive with low risk: This treatment avoids heat and chemicals, making it safe for all skin types and tones, year-round.

    • Minimal downtime: Most patients experience only mild redness or tightness post treatment.

    • Supports skin cell renewal: As new collagen forms, skin appears more youthful, resilient, and refined.

  • SkinPen microneedling is highly versatile and effective for:

    • Microneedling for acne scars and surgical scarring

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Uneven skin tone and pigmentation

    • Stretch marks and sun damage

    • Enlarged pores and congestion

    • Rough or bumpy skin texture

    Whether you're seeking full-face microneedling or targeting a specific concern, SkinPen offers tailored microneedling treatment plans to meet your needs.

  • Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin conditions and discuss your treatment goals. On the day of treatment, the process includes:

    • Cleansing and numbing the skin with topical anaesthetic

    • Applying a glide gel to ensure comfort

    • Passing the SkinPen microneedling device across the skin to create microscopic channels

    The microneedling session takes around 30 minutes (plus numbing time) and is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. Whether used across the full face or in specific areas, it encourages collagen and elastin production and promotes skin remodelling.

  • SkinPen microneedling is minimally invasive with a low risk of complications. Most patients experience:

    • Mild redness and tightness for up to 24 hours

    • Slight swelling, tenderness, or dryness for a few days

    • Rare side effects such as flaking or increased sensitivity

    To aid the healing process and enhance microneedling benefits, we advise:

    • No makeup or active skincare for 24 hours

    • Avoiding intense heat, steam, and exercise for 48 hours

    • Gentle, hydrating skincare and daily SPF protection

    Dedicated post microneedling care reduces the risk of irritation and improves long-term results.

  • SkinPen results appear gradually as collagen and elastin production increases. Most patients notice improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness within a few weeks. For deeper concerns such as acne scars or stretch marks, a course of three to six sessions may be recommended.

    Full results continue to develop for up to 300 days after each skinpen microneedling treatment.
