SkinPen Microneedling
£250
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using advanced collagen induction technology, SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin to activate the body’s natural healing response.
This minimally invasive treatment can help improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and overall skin quality while supporting long-term skin rejuvenation.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing procedures, SkinPen works with the skin’s natural healing process rather than relying on heat or chemical treatments, making it suitable for many skin types with minimal downtime.

How Does SkinPen Work?
SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-channels within the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
As collagen develops, the skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother and more even in appearance. This process helps improve:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin quality

Skinpen Microneedling FAQ
What is SkinPen®?
SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device designed to improve the appearance of acne scars and enhance overall skin texture and tone. It works by creating thousands of tiny microchannels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural wound-healing process and encouraging new collagen and elastin production.
What concerns can SkinPen treat?
SkinPen may help improve:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Pigmentation
- Strech marks
- Surgical scars
Your provider will determine if SkinPen is appropriate for your specific concerns.
How does SkinPen work?
SkinPen uses sterile, medical-grade microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny channels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production while preserving the integrity of the surrounding tissue.
Is SkinPen safe?
Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared and has been extensively studied for safety and effectiveness. Treatments are performed using sterile, single-use needle cartridges and follow strict safety protocols.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients tolerate SkinPen very well. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize comfort. During the procedure, you may feel mild pressure, vibration, or a light scratching sensation.
How long does the treatment take?
A typical SkinPen appointment takes approximately 60 minutes, including:
- Consultation and preparation
- Application of numbing cream
- Microneedling treatment
- Post-treatment instructions
The actual microneedling portion usually takes about 30 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your goals and skin condition.
General recommendations include:
- Acne scars: Typically 3 treatments spaced about 30 days apart
- Skin rejuvenation: 3–6 treatments may be recommended
- Maintenance: Periodic treatments may help maintain results
Your provider will develop a customised treatment plan.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week of treatment. Because collagen remodeling takes time, improvements continue to develop over several weeks and months.
Optimal results are often seen after a course of treatment.
What should I expect after treatment?
Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear:
- Red, similar to a mild-to-moderate sunburn
- Warm or tight
- Slightly swollen
These effects are normal and typically resolve within 24–72 hours.

Is there any downtime?
SkinPen involves minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
For best results, follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner.

For the first 24 hours after treatment, avoid:
- Excessive sweating or strenuous exercise

- Make-up (unless approved by your provider)
- Skincare products containing retinoids, acids, or exfoliants
