SkinPen® medical microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment designed to help improve the appearance of skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles and certain types of scarring. It works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin to support the body's natural repair process.
As we get older, collagen levels reduce and the skin's supporting structure can weaken. This may contribute to concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, visible pores and uneven texture.
SkinPen creates many precise, controlled micro-channels in the skin. These encourage the skin's natural wound-healing response, supporting collagen formation and remodelling to help the skin look smoother, firmer and more refreshed.
SkinPen microneedling may help soften the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and mild laxity. It can also support improvement in acne scarring and certain pigmentation concerns, and is often chosen to revive skin that looks dull or tired.
Common treatment areas include:
Medical microneedling with SkinPen is suitable for all skin types. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to help keep you comfortable. The appointment typically takes around 45-60 minutes.
Many people notice benefits after one session, but for best results a course of 3 to 6 treatments is commonly recommended, spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart.
It's normal for skin to feel warm and look red after treatment, usually for at least the first 24 hours. Some light peeling can occur over the next few days before settling.
Aftercare guidance:
Improvements are often noticeable within a few days, with continued progress over the following months as collagen renewal develops. Results may last up to a year, depending on individual factors and your skincare routine.
SkinPen is not suitable if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. We'll take a full medical history and discuss your skin concerns to confirm whether this is the right option for you.
New patients will need an initial consultation to confirm suitability and discuss whether SkinPen is the best choice for your concerns. You can book your consultation online.
When planning your appointment, it's best to avoid important social events for at least a week afterwards, just in case you experience redness or light peeling.
