We’re proud to now offer SkinPen® Precision Microneedling – the gold standard in skin rejuvenation. Clinically proven, minimally invasive, and suitable for all skin tones, SkinPen creates real results with minimal downtime.
Whether you're looking to reduce fine lines, fade acne scars, tighten pores or improve overall skin texture, SkinPen is a trusted, medical-grade treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production – restoring a smoother, firmer and more youthful glow.
What Is SkinPen?
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is widely regarded as the safest and most effective form of collagen induction therapy. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin.
The result? A brighter, smoother, and more even complexion – completely naturally.
SkinPen Treats:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scarring and enlarged pores
Stretch marks
Pigmentation and sun damage
Uneven skin tone and texture
Dull, tired or ageing skin
It’s suitable for both men and women and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and body.

Clean Skin: Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face on the day of the treatment.
Post-Treatment Care
Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results and ensuring your skin heals safely:
Sun Protection: Use a high-SPF sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
Avoid Makeup: Do not apply makeup for 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation.
Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, non-fragranced cleanser and lukewarm water to clean your face.
Hydration is Key: Apply a hydrating serum or cream to soothe and nourish the skin.

SkinPen Microneedling FAQ
Is SkinPen safe?
Yes. SkinPen is a medical-grade device used by trained professionals. It’s minimally invasive with little downtime and is safe for all skin types and tones. It has been rigorously tested for safety and effectiveness.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients describe it as a slight prickling or scratching sensation. Discomfort is minimal and very well tolerated.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your skin goals. For general skin rejuvenation, 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typical. For acne scarring or deeper skin concerns, you may need 4-6 treatments. Your practitioner will recommend a personalised plan during your consultation.
What can I expect after the treatment?
You may experience some redness, tightness, or sensitivity (like a mild sunburn) for 24–72 hours after your treatment. Most clients notice glowing, smoother skin within a few days, with continued improvement over the next few weeks as collagen production increases.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You can usually return to normal activities the following day, but we recommend avoiding makeup, excessive sweating, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours after treatment.
When will I see results?
You may notice a glow within a few days, but collagen and elastin production continue over time. Most clients see noticeable improvement in their skin's texture and tone after a few weeks, with optimal results visible after completing the full course.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours to allow your skin to heal. After that, you can return to your usual routine—though we always recommend mineral-based makeup for post-treatment skin.
Is SkinPen suitable for all skin tones?
Yes. SkinPen is clinically proven to be safe and effective on all skin types and tones, with no risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring when performed correctly.
How do I prepare for my SkinPen treatment?
Avoid retinol, exfoliants, and sun exposure for at least 48 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Your therapist will give you tailored pre- and post-treatment advice.
