Microneedling (Dermapen)

Dermapen fractional microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and acne scarring. An exfoliating acid or an exosome serum can be combined for added effect, and scalp protocols support hair quality. A short course gives the best results for scarring and texture.

Microneedling with the Dermapen device uses a cluster of fine needles oscillating at high speed to create thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin. These tiny, controlled injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, prompting fresh collagen and elastin production that firms the skin and refines its surface over the following weeks. The micro-channels also allow active serums applied during treatment to penetrate far more effectively. At Skin Spa the skin is cleansed and a numbing cream applied before treatment, which takes around thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the area. Expect redness similar to mild sunburn for a day or two, after which the skin looks fresher and, over a few weeks, smoother and more even. It is well suited to uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and mild-to-moderate acne scarring, and can be used on the face, neck and décolletage. For best results — particularly with scarring — a course of around three sessions spaced about four weeks apart is recommended. The clinic offers combinations with an exfoliating acid and an exosome (EXO SKIN) add-on that layers regenerative signalling factors onto the treatment, as well as scalp protocols for hair. Strict sun protection afterwards is essential. Microneedling is avoided over active acne or infection and in pregnancy; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
