About the treatment

SkinPen is not your average microneedling treatment. It is the only mechanical microneedling device to hold all 4 certifications: FDA-approved, CE Mark, ISO certified & British Standards Institute certified. SkinPen harnesses the skin’s own healing response to boost collagen and naturally treat wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, enlarged pores and stretch marks.

Microneedling is also known as collagen-induction therapy because it can increase the collagen in your skin by 400% and continues to boost collagen and elastin for months after your treatment.

Microneedling is a procedure which creates temporary microscopic channels in the skin. This microtrauma activates the body’s natural skin-healing process to increase collagen and elastin. Your skin returns to a healthier, smoother and tighter appearance with softer lines and less discoloration.  This process is called skin-remodelling.

SkinPen is a great treatment if you want to improve the appearance, architecture and health of your skin. It is perfect if you want a tangible improvement but you’re not ready for other injectable aesthetic treatments.  If you are already having treatments such as botulinum toxin or dermal fillers, it is a great accompanying treatment because a combination approach is likely to give you a much better overall result.

What can SkinPen treat?

SkinPen microneedling is effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scarring
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Pigmentation and sun damage
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

It is suitable for most skin types and can be used on the face and other areas of the body.
