Boost collagen, smooth texture, and reveal radiant skin
SkinPen® is an advanced microneedling treatment clinically proven to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and boost collagen production. Using fine, medical-grade needles, SkinPen® creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface – triggering a regenerative response that helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
Unlike traditional microneedling devices, SkinPen® delivers precision-controlled results with minimal downtime. It’s safe for all skin tones and ideal for those seeking a smoother, firmer, more luminous complexion, naturally.
Treatments are quick, effective, and best delivered in as a course of 3 – 6 for long-lasting, visible improvement.

Treatment FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can I wear makeup after SkinPen®?
It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup, to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
Does SkinPen® microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild or tolerable.
How long do the results last?
Results can last several months, especially when maintained with regular skincare and sun protection. Collagen continues to build for up to 3–6 months post-treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for best results. Maintenance treatments can be done every 6–12 months.
How soon will I see results?
Some clients notice a healthy glow within a few days. Collagen regeneration and visible skin improvements typically develop over 2–6 weeks, with optimal results after a course of treatments.
Is SkinPen® safe for all skin types?
SkinPen® is clinically proven to be safe and effective for many skin types, including darker skin tones.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, mild swelling, and skin sensitivity for 24–48 hours post-treatment – similar to a light sunburn. Most clients return to normal activities within a day or two.
What aftercare is required?
You’ll be given specific aftercare instructions, but generally:
- Avoid sun exposure, heat, and exercise for 24–48 hours
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare
- Avoid active ingredients (retinol, acids) for several days
What concerns can SkinPen® help with?
SkinPen® is ideal for treating:
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull or ageing skin
- Skin laxity (mild)
What is SkinPen® microneedling?
SkinPen® is a medical-grade microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. It’s FDA-cleared and clinically proven to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and pores.
