WHAT IS SKIN PEN?

SkinPen is a medical micro-needling device.

It is used as a collagen induction therapy, which stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response.

This promotes the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

​

SkinPen can be used in combination with PRP.

WHAT IS SKINPEN USED FOR?

SkinPen is used to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This is a rejuvenating skin treatment for multiple skin concerns:

​

• Fine lines and anti ageing

• Minimise pores

• Acne scarring

• Improve skin texture and tone

• Improve appearance of pigmentation

• Improve appearance of stretch marks

• Assist to improve appearance of rosacea

• Thicken and tighten crepey skin

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?

Once the consent process is completed, the treatment generally takes 45-60 minutes. 

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST?

SkinPen requires a course of treatments.

It is recommended to have at least 3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. .

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?

SkinPen does not require any downtime, however it is important to note that swelling and redness may be present for 48-72 hours post treatment.
