SkinPen® Microneedling
Dr Hiba Injibar's Dermasurge clinic situated on the prestigious Harley Street in Central London offers the SkinPen® Microneedling procedure. This procedure utilises advanced microneedling technology to stimulate collagen production in the skin, addressing the natural loss of collagen that occurs with age. This procedure aims to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin folds, contributing to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
What is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® is a form of microneedling, a cosmetic technique employing a device equipped with fine needles to create punctures in the skin. This process aims to stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin texture and tone.
Throughout the SkinPen® treatment, the device is employed to generate numerous controlled, minute, micro-injuries on the skin. These injuries play a crucial role in initiating the body's natural repair mechanism, giving a boost to collagen production.
Collagen, a protein vital for skin healing, is responsible for maintaining a tight, smooth, and youthful appearance. As we age, the skin's ability to produce collagen diminishes, contributing to the signs of ageing.
Scarring, a consequence of irregular collagen formations during the healing process, can be addressed by inducing new wounds and promoting increased collagen within the skin through the SkinPen® procedure.

What should I expect from the SkinPen® microneedling procedure?
If you decide to go ahead with the SkinPen procedure, you can expect the following from your appointment:
- Initial assessment: You will undergo an initial assessment with a qualified healthcare professional such as a dermatologist or licensed aesthetician. The provider will carefully review your medical history, allergies, and any current medications you are using. Together, you will discuss your specific concerns and set goals for the treatment.
- Preparation: Before the SkinPen treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and to minimise potential discomfort, a numbing cream or gel may be applied to the treatment area.
- SkinPen procedure: The SkinPen device will be ,pved over the designated area, creating minuscule microneedles that penetrate the skin. This process is designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, ultimately enhancing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. The duration of the treatment typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, dependent on the size of the treatment area.
Aftercare following the SkinPen procedure
Following the procedure, the skin might display a red or swollen appearance, similar to a mild sunburn. It is recommended to steer clear of sun exposure and consider applying a soothing lotion or skincare products. Typically, any swelling and redness should diminish within a few days.
What results can be expected from the SkinPen microneedling procedure?
The effects of the SkinPen treatment will develop gradually, and patients will typically see significant improvement around four to six weeks after the procedure. Based on the patient's objectives, multiple SkinPen sessions may be advised, scheduled with intervals ranging from four to six weeks. The results obtained from the SkinPen treatment can last for several months a year.
