What is Skin Pen Microneedling?
Micro-needling with SkinPen is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a series of fine needles to repeatedly penetrate the layers of the skin, in order to induce the bodies wound healing process.
This is called controlled trauma, which results in the creation of thousands of controlled micro channels in the Epidermal and Dermal layers of the skin. SkinPen creates 1,600 micro-channels per second, comfortably resurfacing the skin to safely create and remodel collagen which supports the underlying tissue to reveal smooth, healthy skin that glows from within.
Skin Pen micro-needling is beneficial for a range of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles

Acne scarring

Surgical Scars

Collagen Induction Therapy featuring SkinPen is a safer and more natural alternative to more invasive treatments such as anti-ageing injections or laser resurfacing . There is little downtime and works on your body’s natural recovery mechanisms.
What will happen during your treatment?
The Skin Pen treatment begins with a professional skin analysis to recommend the best approach for your individual needs, this is carried out during your first appointment which will be a skin consultation.
When we agree that your skin is ready for micro-needling, before your treatment, we will apply a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure, this is left on for around 15-20mins then we will start the treatment.
During treatment, the Skin Pen glides over the skin, creating micro-injuries tailored to your skin type and concerns. This process encourages a healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production.
The entire procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Afterward, you might experience some redness similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically fades within a couple of days. You will also receive a FREE Skin Kit after each SkinPen treatment with the correct aftercare products to use on your skin for the next couple of days to ensure correctly healing of the area.

Using professional grade skincare is crucial when undergoing micro-needling treatments to optimize results and maintain them in the long term.

Post-treatment, these products aid in the healing process and promote skin regeneration, helping to prolong the benefits of micro-needling.
