A minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the skin's natural repair processes to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality — gradually and naturally.
SkinPen® microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality by stimulating the skin's natural repair processes.
During treatment, a medical microneedling device creates thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.
Over time, this process helps the skin gradually become smoother, firmer, and more even in appearance. Unlike treatments that add volume, microneedling focuses on improving the skin itself.
SkinPen® is commonly used to improve a range of skin texture and skin quality concerns across the face and body.
Microneedling stimulates collagen production which can help soften the appearance of acne scars over time.
Collagen stimulation helps smooth early wrinkles and improve skin firmness across the treated area.
The treatment helps refine rough or uneven skin texture and improve overall skin quality and smoothness.
Improving collagen support around pores can help them appear smaller and more refined over time.
Microneedling can improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating new collagen in the skin.
The skin renewal process can help improve overall tone and brightness across the treated area.
SkinPen® works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the skin's natural repair response and stimulating new collagen production over time.
The medical device passes across the skin creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the treatment area.
These controlled micro-injuries activate the skin's natural healing response and signal the body to begin repair.
As collagen and elastin production increases, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.
Microneedling does not inject substances into the skin. The purpose is natural healing and collagen stimulation that follows.
SkinPen® is minimally invasive, but the skin still needs time to settle and renew afterwards. Most people experience redness for around 24 hours — often similar to mild sunburn.
The skin may also feel warm, tight, dry, or slightly flaky for several days as the outer layer renews itself. Most patients return to normal activities the following day.
Post-treatment advice is provided to help protect the skin and support recovery in the days after treatment.
Early changes in skin texture and overall skin quality may begin to appear as the repair process becomes established.
More noticeable improvement usually develops over the following months as collagen remodelling continues.
Collagen remodelling can continue for many months after treatment, with gradual refinement in texture and firmness.
Rather than competing approaches, microneedling and injectable treatments are often complementary depending on the concern being treated.
In many cases, microneedling and injectable treatments are used together as part of a broader skin treatment plan.
SkinPen® was the first microneedling device to receive FDA clearance and is widely used in medical settings worldwide.

The device allows precise control of needle depth, enabling treatment to be adjusted for different areas of the skin.
Each treatment uses single-use sterile needle cartridges to maintain the highest hygiene and treatment consistency standards.
The controlled mechanical system ensures consistent microneedling depth and even treatment across the full skin surface.
SkinPen® is typically performed as a course of three sessions. Individual suitability and treatment planning always confirmed at consultation.
A course of three SkinPen® sessions spaced several weeks apart, allowing the skin time to respond and renew between treatments.
