SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones and can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne scarring — clinically proven to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in all skin types
- Fine lines and wrinkles — stimulating collagen to smooth expression lines and age-related wrinkles
- Skin texture and enlarged pores — refining the skin’s surface for a smoother, more even complexion
- Pigmentation and uneven skin tone — supporting skin renewal and a more uniform complexion
- Sun damage and photo-ageing — addressing the visible effects of cumulative UV exposure
- Skin laxity and loss of firmness — improving elasticity and skin density
- Dull, tired skin — restoring radiance and a healthy, youthful glow
- Neck wrinkles — FDA-cleared for improving wrinkles on the neck
- Stretch marks and superficial scarring — supporting skin remodelling and regeneration
How it works
The microneedles create micro-channels in the skin, which are like tiny furrows. The body responds to these micro-channels by increasing the collagen produced in order to heal the treatment area. During this response, the body goes through three phases of repair and healing:
- The immune system is activated to cleanse the area and increase blood flow to create new tissue
- New granulation cells rebuild the area, and a new network of blood vessels develops to carry vital nutrients to the area
- The area is refashioned with fresh dermal tissues that look bright, fresh, and taut
Micro-needles create tiny channels in the skin, prompting the body to heal in three phases:
- Immune response — cleanses the area and boosts blood flow
- Rebuilding — new tissue and blood vessels form
- Renewal — fresh dermal tissue leaves skin bright and taut
Unlike rollers, SkinPen’s needles insert vertically with adjustable depth — reducing trauma and allowing precise, even treatment.
The result is skin that is progressively firmer, smoother, and more radiant — with improvements continuing to develop for months after treatment as new collagen matures.
What it feels like
Every treatment at Eye and Face Clinic starts with a professional-grade topical anaesthetic, formulated to make procedures virtually pain-free. It is applied and fully removed before the SkinPen device is used, for maximum comfort.
Once numb, Gillian passes the device over the treatment area — most patients feel only light pressure and a mild buzzing sensation.
Treatment itself takes 25–30 minutes; with prep and numbing, expect a 45-minute appointment.
How many treatments will I need?
A key aspect of microneedling is getting the treatment done in a series. While one session can help improve collagen stimulation, a series of 3 to 6 sessions can truly revolutionise your skin. These are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Overall skin health and appearance can continue to show improvement up to 6 months after your final session.
Gillian will advise on the optimal number of treatments during your consultation, based on your individual skin concerns and goals. Many patients choose to continue with maintenance treatments once or twice a year to sustain and build on their results over time.
DAY 1
Skin looks flushed and feels warm or tight, similar to mild sunburn. Numbing wears off within a few hours, with mild sensitivity following.
DAY 2-3
Redness fades and skin may feel dry or slightly rough. Light flaking or a "sandpaper" texture is common as the skin renews itself.
DAY 4-7
Any flaking tapers off, texture starts to feel smoother, and skin generally looks back to normal by the end of the week. First signs of improved tone and texture often appear here.
WEEK 2-12
Collagen and elastin continue rebuilding, giving skin a smoother, brighter, more even appearance. Full results typically show within 1–3 months, especially with a full course of 3–6 sessions.

Aftercare & review
After your microneedling session, you can expect to feel some warmth and tightness in your skin, and see mild redness — similar to a minor sunburn — and visible pinkness for 24 to 48 hours. Most patients feel comfortable returning to their normal activities the following day. Gillian will provide you with full aftercare guidance at your appointment.
