SkinPen® microneedling – My go-to treatment for smoother, healthier skin

As we age, our skin naturally loses some of its firmness, smoothness, and evenness. Fine lines appear, texture becomes less refined, and the skin can start to look tired or lacklustre.

Recently, I introduced SkinPen® microneedling into the clinic, and it has very quickly become one of my favourite treatments for clients who want smoother, healthier, more radiant-looking skin. I chose SkinPen® because it's medical-grade, clinically proven, and delivers consistently natural results.

Here’s why I’m so excited to offer it.

The gold standard in microneedling

SkinPen® is the first and only FDA-cleared and CE-marked microneedling device, which means it has undergone rigorous, independent testing for safety and effectiveness.

Unlike cheaper or cosmetic-grade pens, SkinPen® creates precise, controlled micro-channels in the skin. These trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin– the two proteins that keep skin firm, smooth and youthful.

This process is known as collagen induction therapy, and it works beautifully for improving overall skin quality.

What SkinPen® can help with

SkinPen® is a versatile treatment that can improve a wide range of concerns, including:‍

Acne scars

Helps smooth and soften pitted or textured scarring.

Fine lines & early wrinkles

Encourages firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Uneven texture & enlarged pores

Refines the surface of the skin for a smoother complexion.

General dullness

Boosts radiance by stimulating healthy skin renewal.

It’s suitable for the face, neck and décolletage – and it’s safe for all skin tones.

Why I love SkinPen®

Natural results

I’m often asked for treatments that improve the skin without changing facial shape or adding volume. SkinPen® is ideal for that.

Because it works with your own biology, results develop gradually over the following weeks and months. Your skin becomes smoother, brighter and healthier, without looking over-treated.

There’s no “inflated” or artificial look. Just your own skin, functioning and regenerating better.

Minimal downtime, maximum impact

SkinPen® is a quick, minimally invasive treatment. You may notice some redness immediately after your sessio, similar to a sun-kissed flush, which usually settles within 24 hours. Makeup can typically be worn the next day.

Despite the minimal downtime, clients are often surprised by how much their skin improves, especially with a recommended course of sessions.

The clinical evidence

SkinPen® is one of the most researched microneedling devices available. Studies show:

• 94% of patients saw improvement in acne scars after two treatments
• Results continue to build for 3–6 months as collagen develops
• Proven safe for all skintypes

This level of evidence was a major factor in choosing to bring SkinPen® into the clinic – it’s reliable, safe, and delivers results you can genuinely see and feel.

Your treatment plan

Every client’s skin is unique, and we’ll discuss your goals during your consultation. A typical SkinPen® plan might look like:

• 3 sessions: spaced 4 weeks apart, for general skin rejuvenation
• 4–6 sessions: or acne scarring or deeper texture concerns
• Maintenance: every 6–9 months to keep skin smooth and radiant

We can also combine SkinPen® with treatments like skin boosters or medical-grade skincare to enhance results further.

Is SkinPen® right for you?

SkinPen® may be an excellent choice if you’re noticing:

• Rough or uneven texture
• Early fine lines
• Large pores
• Scarring from past breakouts
• Dull, tired, or lacklustre skin

It’s a powerful treatment for improving the foundations of your skin — gently, safely, and naturally.
