SkinPen Microneedling
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation & Microneedling in Plymouth
SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, improving texture, tone and overall skin quality. By creating thousands of precise micro-channels within the skin, SkinPen encourages the production of collagen and elastin for healthier, firmer, more radiant skin.
Suitable for most skin types, SkinPen Microneedling can help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture and overall skin rejuvenation. Every treatment is tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and discuss your concerns. A topical numbing cream is applied before the SkinPen device is gently passed across the treatment area to create controlled micro-channels within the skin.
Treatments take anything between 60 and 180 minutes depending on the area being treated. Following your appointment, your skin may appear pink or slightly flushed, similar to mild sunburn, before gradually settling over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared medical microneedling device that creates thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels within the skin. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production to improve the overall appearance and health of your skin.
What skin concerns can SkinPen treat?
Chemical Peels can improve a wide range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and dull skin. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the most suitable peel for your skin.
Is SkinPen suitable for all skin types?
Yes. SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones and can be safely tailored to your individual skin concerns.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients find the treatment very comfortable. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimise discomfort throughout the procedure.
How long does treatment take?
Appointments usually take anything from 60 to 180 minutes depending on the area being treated, including consultation, skin preparation and treatment.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients experience redness and mild sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Your skin may feel slightly tight or warm during this time before returning to normal.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week. As new collagen develops, improvements continue over the following 6 to 12 weeks, with optimal results achieved through a course of treatments.
How many treatments will I need?
While many clients notice improvement after one treatment, we generally recommend a course of three to six treatments, spaced approximately four to six weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and desired results.
Can SkinPen help with acne scars?
Yes. SkinPen is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for improving the appearance of acne scarring by stimulating collagen production beneath the skin’s surface.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid excessive sun exposure, retinol products, strong exfoliants and chemical peels for several days before treatment. Arrive with clean skin free from makeup if possible.
What aftercare should I follow?
You’ll be provided with full aftercare instructions. Generally, you should keep your skin hydrated, avoid makeup for 24 hours, protect your skin with SPF and avoid strenuous exercise, swimming and excessive heat for the first 24 to 48 hours.
