SkinPen® Microneedling Treatments
Why Choose SkinPen® Microneedling Treatments?

Here’s why it stands out:
Clinically Proven
Backed by studies showing significant improvement in skin texture, fine lines, and acne scarring.
Safe & Sterile
Single-use, sterile needle cartridges minimise risk of infection and cross-contamination.
Customisable
Adjustable depth settings allow precise treatment for different areas and skin concerns.

Redness usually settles within 24–48 hours, meaning you can get back to normal life quickly.
Natural Results
Stimulates your own collagen and elastin for gradual, long-lasting improvement — no artificial look.
SkinPen® is the gold standard for microneedling, making it a safe and effective option for all skin types and tones.
Pre- & Post-Treatment Care for SkinPen® Microneedling Treatments
Before Your Treatment
-
Avoid retinol, glycolic acid, or strong exfoliants for at least 5 days before your appointment.
-
Stop using tanning products and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 week prior.
-
Do not have Botox, fillers, or other facial treatments in the area for 2 weeks before your session.
-
Arrive with clean skin — free from makeup, creams, or SPF.
-
Stay hydrated — healthy, hydrated skin responds best.
After Your Treatment
-
Expect mild redness and a “sunburn” feeling for 24–48 hours — this is normal.
-
Avoid touching your face unnecessarily to keep the area clean.
-
Skip makeup for at least 24 hours; use only gentle, recommended products.
-
Avoid direct sun, saunas, hot tubs, swimming, or intense exercise for 48 hours.
-
Apply SPF daily and avoid tanning for 1–2 weeks to protect new skin.
-
Do not use exfoliants, retinoids, or active skincare for 5–7 days post-treatment.
-
Results build gradually — allow 4–6 weeks between sessions for collagen to remodel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SkinPen® microneedling hurt?
Most people describe it as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. We use a topical numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable throughout the session.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice a fresher glow within a few days, but the real magic happens over the next 4–6 weeks as your skin produces new collagen. Results continue to improve with each session.
How many sessions will I need?
For best results, we usually recommend a course of 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help prolong results.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately, though swelling may take a few days to settle to reveal the final look.
Is SkinPen® microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. SkinPen® is clinically proven safe for all skin tones and types, with minimal risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Can SkinPen® microneedling be done all year round?
Yes. SkinPen® microneedling is safe to perform throughout the year. You’ll be advised on sun avoidance and SPF use after treatment, and your practitioner will guide you if scheduling needs to be adjusted around holidays.
Will there be downtime?
You may experience redness, mild swelling, or tightness for 24–48 hours — similar to a light sunburn. Most people return to normal activities the next day.
