Skin Pen Microneedling

Skin Pen microneedling is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, this technique promotes collagen production, enhances skin texture, and targets concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, and uneven tone.

Before and After Skin Pen Microneedling

What to Expect:

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

Patients report progressive improvements in their skin’s quality over 4–6 weeks as collagen synthesis continues. For acne scars, multiple sessions often yield a visible reduction in depth and size.

Example Timeline:

Day 1–3: Mild redness resembling a light sunburn, sometimes accompanied by tightness or slight swelling.
Day 4–7: Subtle peeling or dryness as the skin regenerates.
Week 2 onwards: Noticeable radiance and smoother texture.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Skin Pen microneedling can enhance collagen density by up to 400% within six months when performed in a series.

What is Skin Pen Microneedling?

Skin Pen microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a precision-engineered device to create microscopic punctures in the dermis. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating fibroblasts and promoting the production of type I collagen and elastin.

Key Indications:

Acne and surgical scars.
Fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Stretch marks.
Enlarged pores.

The Skin Pen device is FDA-cleared, ensuring safety and efficacy. Unlike older techniques, it utilises a disposable cartridge system to eliminate cross-contamination risks and precisely control depth settings for personalised treatments.

Skin Pen Microneedling Process: Step by Step

Consultation and Preparation:
A thorough skin assessment determines candidacy for microneedling. Contraindications, such as active infections or certain medical conditions, are carefully ruled out. On the day of treatment, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort.
Microneedling Procedure:
The Skin Pen’s sterile cartridge creates microchannels at a customised depth, depending on the target area and condition. The treatment typically lasts 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. Mineral-based SPF and gentle cleansers are recommended to support healing.
Follow-Up:
Depending on the skin’s condition, sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For optimal results, a minimum of 3 treatments is often suggested, with visible improvements noted after the first session.

Benefits of Skin Pen Microneedling

Skin Pen microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for improving skin health and addressing specific dermatological concerns. The procedure is supported by clinical evidence and is highly regarded for its safety and effectiveness.

Key advantages include:

Collagen Stimulation: The process activates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin elasticity and firmness.
Reduction of Scars: Particularly effective for acne and surgical scars, it diminishes their depth and visibility over time.
Improved Skin Texture: Fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture are visibly reduced, leaving the skin smoother and more refined.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment: Helps to even out skin tone by promoting cellular turnover, addressing pigmentation irregularities like melasma or sun damage.
Minimally Invasive: With no need for surgical intervention, the procedure involves minimal downtime while delivering significant results.
Customisation: Depth and technique can be tailored to individual skin types and conditions, ensuring optimal results for every patient.

These benefits make Skin Pen microneedling a versatile option for patients seeking targeted skin rejuvenation or an overall improvement in complexion.

“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.”

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 Skin Pen microneedling?
While some patients report a mild prickling sensation during the procedure, discomfort is minimised through the application of topical anaesthetic. Most describe the experience as tolerable, with sensations varying depending on individual pain thresholds and the treatment area.

How many sessions of Skin Pen microneedling do you need?
The number of sessions required depends on the skin condition being treated. For general rejuvenation, 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are often sufficient. More complex issues, such as deep acne scars or advanced signs of ageing, may necessitate 6 or more treatments for optimal results.

Can you do Skin Pen microneedling yourself?
Microneedling with professional-grade devices like the Skin Pen should always be performed by a trained practitioner in a clinical setting. Attempting the procedure at home risks infection, improper technique, and suboptimal results due to the lack of sterile equipment and professional expertise.
