Microneedling with SkinPen®

Designed to work without chemicals, heat, or stress —SkinPen® microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-openings in the skin that naturally remodel the skin. This minimally invasive treatment significantly improves the appearance of acne scars and neck wrinkles.

The Process

Before

We will gently cleanse the skin and apply a topical anaesthesia to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment

During

Once the numbing cream has taken effect, we will gently pass the SkinPen over the treatment area. As the tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, patients typically feel light pressure and a mild buzzing sensation, with minimal discomfort. The treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes.

After

Most patients notice slight redness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. Additional common treatment responses include dryness, tightness, and peeling. This is normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours. Makeup and sunscreen can be applied 24 hours after treatment.

The Results

Some people notice rejuvenated skin after their first SkinPen® microneedling treatment; however, optimal long-term results are best seen after four or more treatments. Ongoing skin improvements will continue for three to six months following the last treatment. Consistent treatments help remodel skin, supporting visible improvements in the appearance of acne scars and neck wrinkles over time.
