Thinking about SkinPen microneedling? Here’s what you really want to know: what it does, how it feels, how long it takes, and what your skin will be like after. This guide breaks down every step of your first session, so you know exactly what to expect.

1. Consultation – Personalised Skin Check

Before your treatment, you’ll meet with one of our skin experts. They’ll look at your skin, talk through your concerns (like acne scars, fine lines, or uneven texture), and explain how SkinPen works. You’ll also get clear aftercare advice and have a chance to ask any questions.

2. The Treatment – What Actually Happens

Microneedling is all about slow, controlled movements for the best results. Most clients find the treatment comfortable from start to finish.

Sessions take around 30–60 minutes, depending on the area. We begin by cleansing your skin, then move into the microneedling treatment.

You may feel light prickling or mild discomfort, but it shouldn’t be painful. We check in with you throughout to make sure you’re at ease, you should be able to talk comfortably the entire time. This is never a rushed process.

To finish, we apply a hydrating mask and use LED light therapy to calm the skin and support collagen production.

3. Aftercare – What to Expect After Your Treatment

Right after your SkinPen session, your skin might look a bit red—like a mild sunburn—and feel warm or tight. This is normal and usually settles within 24 to 72 hours.

We apply a calming serum or hydration mist after your treatment to help soothe and protect your skin.

For the first 72 hours:

• Avoid sweating (no intense workouts or saunas)

• Stay out of the sun and skip tanning beds

• Hold off on active products like retinol, exfoliants, or acids

Your skin needs time to heal, and keeping it calm and hydrated is key to getting the best results.

4. Results – When You’ll Start Seeing Changes

You may notice smoother skin within the first few weeks, but real results build over time as collagen and elastin develop. Expect firmer, more even skin to keep improving for up to 6 months.

For best results, we usually recommend 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Each session helps your skin repair, rebuild, and look better over time.

5. Aftercare – How to Get the Best Results

Following aftercare is key to getting the most out of your SkinPen treatment. Stick to gentle skincare, stay hydrated, and wear SPF daily to protect your skin as it heals.

We also recommend:

• Avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours

• Skipping active ingredients (like retinol and exfoliants) for a few days

• Letting your skin breathe, no picking or scrubbing

As your skin regenerates, you’ll notice improved texture, tone, and elasticity. With consistent care, your results will continue to build and last.

In Conclusion – Why SkinPen Is Worth It

SkinPen is a simple, non-invasive way to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall health. Yes, there’s a short recovery window, though the long-term results are worth it: smoother, firmer, more confident skin.

If you’re ready to start your skin reset, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
