Before and After SkinPen Treatment

What to Expect:

Before: The skin may appear dull, with visible scars, enlarged pores, or appearance of fine lines
After: A more even complexion with smoother skin texture, reduced pore size, and improved appearance of fine lines becomes apparent over time

Patients report progressive improvements in their skin’s quality over 4–6 weeks as the production of collagen and elastin continues. For reducing the appearance of acne scars, multiple sessions often yield visible improvements in the treated area.

Example Timeline:

Day 1–3: Mild redness resembling a light sunburn in the treated area, sometimes accompanied by tightness or slight swelling
Day 4–7: Subtle peeling or dryness as new tissue regenerates on the surface of the skin
Week 2 onwards: Noticeable radiant skin and smoother skin texture with improved blood flow

Clinical studies have demonstrated that microneedling with SkinPen can enhance collagen and elastin production by up to 400% within six months when performed in a series.

What is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses the SkinPen device to create microscopic punctures in the dermis. This micro-needling device triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating growth factors and promoting the production of collagen for healthy skin rejuvenation.

Key Indications:

Appearance of acne scars and surgical scars
Appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation and melasma
Stretch marks on various areas of the body
Enlarged pores and uneven skin appearance

The SkinPen device is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, ensuring SkinPen is safe and effective. Unlike older techniques, this microneedling device utilises a disposable cartridge system to eliminate cross-contamination risks and precisely control treatment depth for personalised skincare treatments.

SkinPen Microneedling Process: Step by Step

Consultation and Preparation:

A thorough skin assessment determines candidacy for microneedling with SkinPen. Contraindications, such as active infections or certain medical conditions, are carefully ruled out. Prior to your treatment, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort and protect the skin.

Microneedling Procedure:

The SkinPen device creates microchannels at a customised treatment depth, depending on the target area and specific skin concerns. Device creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the healing response, typically lasting 30–60 minutes, with particular attention to problem areas such as the cheeks, forehead, or jawline.

Post-Treatment Care:

A soothing serum or hyaluronic acid is applied immediately post-procedure to calm the skin and promote hydration. Patients are advised to avoid makeup and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours after treatment. Mineral-based SPF and gentle cleansers are recommended to protect the skin and maintain skin health during the healing response.

Follow-Up:

Depending on the skin’s condition, sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For optimal results and to achieve the best possible outcomes, a minimum of 3 treatments is often suggested, with visible improvements in skin appearance noted after the first session.

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen treatment offers a wide range of benefits for improving skin health and addressing specific skin concerns. The procedure is supported by clinical evidence and is highly regarded for its safety and effectiveness in skincare rejuvenation.

Key advantages include:

Collagen and Elastin Production: The process activates skin triggers to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin elasticity and firmness
Reduce the Appearance of Scars: Particularly effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars, diminishing their depth and visibility over time
Improve the Appearance of Fine Lines: Fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture are visibly reduced, leaving smoother skin that’s more refined
Enhanced Skin Appearance: Helps to even out skin tone by promoting cellular turnover on the surface of the skin, addressing pigmentation irregularities
Minimally Invasive Skincare: With no need for surgical intervention, the procedure involves minimal downtime while delivering significant results for healthy skin
Customisation: Treatment depth and technique can be tailored to individual skin types and specific skin concerns, ensuring optimal results to rejuvenate your skin

These benefits make microneedling with SkinPen a versatile option for patients seeking targeted skin rejuvenation or an overall improvement in skin appearance.

“I was starting to feel self-conscious about the dark circles under my eyes, and they were making me look much older than I felt. After doing some research, I decided to go for tear trough filler treatment. I was a bit nervous at first, but the procedure was quick and painless, and the results were amazing! The dark circles are almost completely gone, and my eyes look brighter and more refreshed. I’m so glad I went ahead with it.”

“I’ve had tear trough filler twice now, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s made a huge difference to my appearance, and I feel so much more confident. The first time I had it done, I was a bit worried about looking overfilled, but the practitioner was very skilled and used just the right amount of filler. I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone who is considering it.”

“I was hesitant about having any kind of facial injections, but I decided to give tear trough filler a try after seeing such positive results on my friends. I’m so glad I did! The procedure was quick and easy, and I was back to my normal routine within a few hours. The dark circles under my eyes are much less noticeable, and my overall complexion looks more even. I’m really happy with the results.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is SkinPen microneedling?

While some patients report a mild prickling sensation during SkinPen treatment, discomfort is minimised through the application of topical anaesthetic prior to your treatment. Most describe the experience as tolerable, with sensations varying depending on individual pain thresholds and the treated area. SkinPen is safe and designed for patient comfort.

How many sessions of SkinPen microneedling do you need?

The number of sessions required depends on the specific skin concerns being treated. For general skincare rejuvenation and to improve the appearance of fine lines, 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are often sufficient to achieve the best results. More complex issues, such as reducing the appearance of acne scars or advanced signs of ageing, may necessitate 6 or more treatments for optimal skin appearance improvements.

Can you do SkinPen microneedling yourself?

Microneedling with professional-grade devices like the SkinPen should always be performed by a trained practitioner in a clinical setting. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen precision requires professional expertise to ensure proper treatment depth and technique. Attempting the procedure at home risks infection, improper technique, and suboptimal results for your skincare goals, as it lacks the sterile equipment and professional knowledge needed to safely rejuvenate your skin and achieve the best possible results.
