Microneedling with a SkinPen is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. During the treatment, the SkinPen device, equipped with fine, sterile needles, creates tiny punctures in the skin’s top layer. This controlled skin injury triggers the body’s natural healing process, promoting the growth of new collagen and elastin, which can improve the skin’s texture, firmness, and appearance.
The sensation of microneedling can vary from person to person, but it’s often described as a light prickling or scratching feeling, and discomfort is usually minimal thanks to the application of a topical numbing cream prior to the procedure.
After treatment, patients can expect some redness and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. The skin may also feel tighter and may flake as it heals. Microneedling results can include a more even skin tone, reduced appearance of scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores, though multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal outcomes.
A course of treatments is highly recommended for optimal results, ranging from 3-6 treatments.
Microneedling is also effective on stretch marks and cellulite and so we can also offer courses in trouble areas too.
