Everything You Need to Know About SkinPen®
~ written by Demi Hayes, Advanced Skincare Specialist
Whether you're dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, or just want to boost your skin’s glow and firmness — SkinPen® microneedling is one of the most advanced, effective, and safe treatments available. At Elegance Aesthetics and Skincare, we’ve helped countless clients transform their skin and confidence using this incredible device.
Here’s everything you need to know about SkinPen, and why it’s a priceless addition to your skin health journey.
What is SkinPen®?
SkinPen® is the first and only FDA-cleared microneedling device, which means it has gone through rigorous testing to prove it’s both safe and effective.
Unlike traditional microneedling pens or rollers, SkinPen® uses sterile, single-use cartridges and advanced precision technology to deliver smoother, more consistent results.
SkinPen® works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process — which in turn kickstarts collagen and elastin production.
🧬 Why is that important? Because collagen is the protein that keeps your skin plump, smooth, and youthful. After just one SkinPen® session, studies show collagen production can increase by up to 400%!
Why SkinPen® Over Cheaper Alternatives?
You might have seen microneedling treatments advertised for much less — so why is SkinPen® priced at £200?
Because quality matters. Here’s what sets it apart:
✅ FDA-cleared – meaning it’s backed by science, safety, and clinical results
✅ No dragging or tearing – its needles penetrate vertically, adapting to your skin texture (even over scars)
✅ Single-use sterile cartridges – for maximum hygiene and zero cross-contamination
✅ Consistent depth and precision – unlike cheaper pens that can snag or scratch the skin
We always say: It’s not just microneedling — it’s SkinPen®. And the results are priceless.
What Can SkinPen® Help With?
This treatment is incredibly versatile and ideal for a wide range of skin concerns:
Acne scars (old or new)
Surgical or trauma scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone and texture
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Stretch marks
General skin rejuvenation
Whether you’ve had breast surgery, a mastectomy, or you’re managing acne scarring, SkinPen® can dramatically improve the look and feel of your skin — safely and gently.
Is There Downtime?
SkinPen® has minimal downtime. You may experience some redness, tightness, or slight swelling for 24–48 hours — similar to a light sunburn. We’ll give you full aftercare advice, including which products to use (and which to avoid) to get the best out of your treatment.
SkinPen® + Skin Boosters
Looking to take your glow to the next level?
Combining SkinPen® with Skin Boosters gives your skin a double dose of rejuvenation. While SkinPen® stimulates collagen from deep within, skin boosters hydrate and nourish from the surface, helping to:
Plump fine lines
Improve elasticity
Brighten dull, tired skin
Accelerate healing and hydration post-treatment
It’s a dream duo we recommend for anyone serious about long-term skin health and luminosity.
Why We Love It — And Why You'll Love It Too!
At Elegance Aesthetics & Skincare, we don’t offer just any treatment — we offer treatments that work. SkinPen® is one of our most loved facials for a reason:
It’s medically backed
It’s suitable for nearly every skin type
It delivers real, lasting results
It restores confidence, not just skin
For us and our clients, SkinPen® has proven time and time again to be a priceless part of a healthy skin journey.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
We recommend a course of 4 SkinPen® treatments for optimal results — especially when targeting scars or deeper skin concerns. When booking a full course, clients save 10%, and we tailor each session to your skin’s progress.
Results continue to improve over time, with collagen production peaking around 4–6 weeks post-treatment.
Bridal Client Journey
We recently worked with a beautiful bride-to-be who came to us looking for smoother, more radiant skin ahead of her wedding day. She had struggled with acne scarring for years, and after a course of SkinPen treatments, her skin looked absolutely incredible on the big day — glowing, smooth, and confident.
SkinPen gave her the results she dreamed of — without makeup doing all the work. We’ll be sharing her full bridal skin journey on the blog next week, so keep your eyes peeled for a more in-depth look at how we prepped her skin for her wedding.
