SkinPen® Medical Microneedling

SkinPen® Medical Microneedling is a clinically studied, minimally invasive treatment that supports skin rejuvenation by prompting the skin’s natural repair process. It is CE-marked and was the first microneedling device to be FDA-cleared. Using 14 fine needles, it creates controlled micro-channels in the skin that encourage the production of collagen and elastin – the proteins behind firmness, texture, and tone. Suitable for all skin types, SkinPen® can help address concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture and tone, scarring, and early signs of ageing.

Depending on the required treatment depth and skin goal, your consultation may also compare precision microneedling, EXION FRF Microneedling, or regenerative support with polynucleotides.

How does SkinPen® Medical Microneedling work?

  • SkinPen® uses 14 fine needles to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin, prompting its natural wound-healing response. This supports the production of collagen and elastin, helping the skin look smoother, firmer, and more even over time.

  • The treatment is medically led, minimally invasive, and fully adjustable, so it can be tailored to concerns such as scarring, uneven tone, fine lines, and overall texture. It needs little to no downtime and can form part of a personalised plan.

What Can I Expect?

You’ll begin with a face-to-face consultation to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and confirm whether SkinPen® is suitable for you. If appropriate, a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort before treatment. During the session, the device creates fine micro-channels across the areas being treated. Afterwards, mild redness and swelling – similar to mild sunburn – can last for 24-48 hours. Improvements usually begin to appear within a few weeks, developing further over the following months as collagen remodelling continues.
