What is SkinPen Micro-Needling?

SkinPen is a modern beauty treatment, utilising a micro-needling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. This specialist treatment is particularly effective for addressing acne scarring, surgical scars, large pores, pigmentation, sun damage, stretchmarks and signs of ageing.

FAQs

A. SkinPen is a precise micro-mechanical skin remodelling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production and increasing cell turnover. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns. It is particularly effective for addressing acne scarring, surgical scars, large pores, pigmentation, sun damage, stretchmarks and signs of ageing.

A. For optimal results, we recommend a course of 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number will depend on your skin’s condition and the specific issues you want to address. After the initial course, maintenance sessions can help sustain the benefits.

A. Yes, SkinPen micro-needling is suitable for all seasons, though sun protection is crucial after each session.

A. Yes, SkinPen is safe for all skin types and tones and can be used on all parts of the body including the face, neck and decolletage.

A. Microneedling is a very safe treatment that can be done all year round, on all skin types and body areas. Avoid this treatment if:

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have active skin cancer in the treatment area, open wounds, sores, irritated skin in the treatment area or have a poor wound healing response
  • You have an allergy to stainless steel or anaesthetics
  • You are immunosuppressed
  • You have taken oral retinoids/isotretinoin (e.g Roaccutane) in the past 6 months

A. I will begin with a thorough consultation in order to assess your skin and discuss your expectations to create a bespoke treatment plan. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied for around 20 minutes before the procedure to ensure your comfort and following this, steps are taken to clean and prepare the skin.

The procedure itself will take around 30 minutes. Dr Clare will gently glide the SkinPen device over the skin to create microchannels on the skin’s surface.

Post-treatment, your skin will appear reddened, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours.

A. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort. Most clients report feeling only a mild sensation during treatment.

A. Downtime is minimal.

You may experience some redness for 24-48 hours, but most clients resume normal activities immediately. You are able to wear makeup and other skincare products and resume exercise/intense activity after 24 hours.

A. Improvement is gradual and results continue to work up to 4-6 months post-treatment.

  • For 24 hours prior to treatment, please avoid sun exposure, topical retinoids and auto-immune therapies.
  • If prone to cold sores, consider preventative anti-viral treatment prior to SkinPen treatment. Following a cold sore, please wait 2 weeks before having SkinPen treatment.
  • If you are having treatment to the face area, please arrive at your appointment with all makeup removed (including eye makeup).
  • If you are having treatment to the body, please wear loose clothing to your appointment.
  • Inform me if there are any changes in your medical history or medications taken before treatment is undertaken.

A. Post-treatment the skin will be reddened, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. There may be some puffiness and you may feel the treatment area feels tight and mildly tender. The skin may flake in the first few days. Do not pick the flaking skin and instead, allow it to shed naturally.

First 24 hours:

  • Do use the LIFT Hydrogel as needed (provided in your treatment pack) to calm and soothe the skin.
  • Do not apply any other products, including make-up or cleanser on your skin.
  • In lieu of cleansing your skin, you may rinse with cool water as needed.
  • Don’t touch your skin unnecessarily immediately post-treatment to avoid the risk of a post-treatment infection.
  • Strictly avoid the sun as you will not be wearing sunscreen.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive perspiration for 1-3 days post-procedure as excess blood flow and sweat can cause discomfort and irritation to compromised skin.
  • Use a clean pillowcase and clean towels.

24 hours post treatment:

  • Wear a high SPF sun cream. Continue to minimize sun exposure for 72 hours post-procedure.
  • Apply the RESCUE Calming Complex as needed to help soothe and calm the skin. RESCUE was specifically formulated for post-microneedling.
  • Resume normal skincare but avoid using any active skin care topical products, such as retinoids, AHA, BHA, and vitamin C for the first week after the SkinPen Precision procedure to reduce the risk of irritation.
  • Avoid other facial aesthetic treatments for 1-4 weeks following treatment. Speak to Dr Clare for exact advice on how best to combine it with other treatments.
  • Contact me if you have any questions/concerns following the procedure.
