Microneedling
How does it work?
As the only FDA and BSI approved microneedling device available today, SkinPen is unlike any other devices in its offering of the next generation of derma or skin needling.
The SkinPen system is considered a highly beneficial, safe, and natural choice for the resolution of various skin concerns, involving no heat, toxins, or chemicals to remove layers of the skin.
With all the benefits of disposable microneedling pen systems, SkinPen’s ‘ingress protection’ prevents fluids from passing through the cartridge into the pen. This makes the system both contamination and risk-free.
After the application of a topical anaesthetic approximately 30 minutes before treatment, the medical-grade microneedling tool is used on targeted areas of the face or body.
These tiny punctures, often referred to as ‘micro-injuries,’ stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing ability, promoting the production of collagen and healthy new tissue while minimising cellular damage and preserving the skin’s structure.
SkinPen is versatile and can enhance the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Acne scars
It can be applied to various body parts, including:
- Face and neck
- Décolletage
- Arms
- Hands
- Legs
- Abdomen
- Back
SkinPen needles can be adjusted to different lengths, allowing your SkinPen provider to tailor the procedure based on your skin’s thickness and specific needs.
SkinPen procedures have minimal side effects and downtime. Slight swelling and redness/pinkness, resembling a mild sunburn, typically last only two to four days, enabling a quick return to work or social activities. The risk of scarring or infections with SkinPen is minimal.
Comprehensive aftercare discussions will take place, addressing all your questions. You will receive written advice as a reminder, including instructions such as:

Frequently Asked Questions
SkinPen is used to perform microneedling, also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy. It utilises small needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-points stimulate the body to initiate a wound-healing response, renewing the skin cells. As the skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is activated, resulting in an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also address other skin concerns such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage, and aging.
After applying a topical anesthetic approximately 30 minutes before treatment, the medical-grade microneedling tool is applied to targeted areas of the face or body.
The treatment is generally described as mildly uncomfortable at most, given the nature of the procedure. It is considered more comfortable than many other micro-needling treatments due to the SkinPen’s high-speed needle motor, ensuring swift skin penetration.
