Stimulate natural collagen for smoother, healthier-looking skin

Our SkinPen® microneedling treatment is a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health. By creating thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, SkinPen stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime.

What We Can Treat

SkinPen microneedling can help improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Stretch marks
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

A full skin consultation is carried out prior to treatment to assess your skin concerns and create a personalised treatment plan.

How It Works

SkinPen uses sterile, medical-grade microneedles to create precise micro-injuries within the skin. These tiny channels trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production while encouraging healthy skin renewal. As new collagen develops, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in appearance.

Because the treatment works with your body’s natural regenerative processes, results continue to improve over the weeks following treatment.

What to Expect

Before treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to maximise comfort. During the procedure, the SkinPen device is moved across the skin, creating controlled micro-channels. Most clients describe the sensation as mild vibration or light scratching.

Immediately after treatment, your skin will appear red and may feel warm or tight, similar to mild sunburn. Some mild swelling and sensitivity are also normal and usually settle within 24–72 hours.

Over the following days, your skin may feel slightly dry or rough as the renewal process takes place. Most clients notice an improvement in skin radiance within the first week, with continued improvements in texture and firmness developing over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

You will receive full aftercare advice, including the importance of avoiding excessive sun exposure and using a high-factor SPF to protect your skin while it heals.

Treatment Plan

The number of treatments required will depend on your skin concerns and desired outcome:

  • General skin rejuvenation typically benefits from a course of 3-4 sessions
  • Acne scarring may require 3–6 sessions
  • Deeper scars or stretch marks may require additional treatments

Treatments are usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow sufficient time for collagen remodelling and skin healing.

While many clients notice visible improvements after a single session, a course of treatments delivers the most effective and long-lasting results.

SkinPen Microneedling – FAQs

How long does it take to see results?

Many clients notice brighter, healthier-looking skin within the first week. However, collagen production takes time, so the most significant improvements are typically seen over the following 4–12 weeks.

Does the treatment hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Most clients find the procedure very tolerable and describe it as a mild scratching or vibrating sensation.

What will my skin look like after treatment?

Immediately afterwards, your skin will be red and may feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. This usually settles within 24–72 hours, although some mild dryness or flaking can occur as the skin renews itself.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Most clients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas, and direct sun exposure for the first few days after treatment.

Is SkinPen suitable for all skin types?

SkinPen is suitable for most skin types and tones. During your consultation, we will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and ensure the treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.
