Clinically Proven Microneedling for Healthier, Smoother Skin
SkinPen works by creating thousands of precise microchannels in the skin which triggers your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to restore healthier, firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Suitable for all skin types, SkinPen delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What Can SkinPen Treat?
SkinPen is an effective treatment for a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Surgical scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Sun-damaged skin
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Mild skin laxity
- Stretch marks (selected cases)
- Overall skin rejuvenation
How Does SkinPen Work?
SkinPen uses sterile, single-use microneedles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries within the skin. These tiny channels stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process through three phases:
Inflammation
The skin begins its repair process by increasing blood flow and releasing natural growth factors.
Proliferation
New collagen, elastin and blood vessels are formed, strengthening the skin’s structure.
Remodelling
Fresh collagen matures over the following weeks and months, improving firmness, texture and skin quality.
Because SkinPen works by encouraging your own natural healing response, results continue to develop long after your treatment. For optimal results, we usually recommend:
- Skin rejuvenation: 3 treatments, approximately 4 weeks apart
- Acne scarring: 3-6 treatments depending on severity
- Fine lines and texture: 3 treatments with maintenance every 6-12 months

What Happens During Treatment?
- Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation and skin assessment.
- A topical numbing cream is applied to maximise comfort before treatment.
- The SkinPen device is then passed across the treatment area using a precise technique to create controlled microchannels in the skin.
- Most treatments take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
- After treatment, your skin may appear pink or red, similar to mild sunburn, for 24-48 hours.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients experience these effects, which are temporary and usually settle within a few days:
- Mild redness
- Tightness
- Slight swelling
- Dryness or flaking
Following treatment we recommend:
- Avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours
- Avoiding vigorous exercise for 24 hours
- Protecting your skin with SPF 30–50 daily

- Using only the skincare products recommended by your practitioner during the initial healing period
Detailed aftercare advice will be provided at your appointment.
