SkinPen® microneedling – natural collagen stimulation and skin renewal

The skin has a remarkable capacity for regeneration — when given the right stimulus.

SkinPen® microneedling is built on precisely this capacity, through a process known as percutaneous collagen induction (CIT – Collagen Induction Therapy).

Notably, SkinPen® was one of the first devices of its kind to receive FDA clearance for medical use, a testament to its safety and efficacy.

The treatment uses controlled microneedles to create precise microchannels in the skin, activating the body’s natural processes:

  • neocollagenesis
  • neoelastogenesis
  • renewal of the dermal structure

The result is never artificial — rather, it is biologically driven, natural and progressive.

The skin becomes:

  • smoother
  • firmer
  • more even
  • visibly improved in quality

How is the treatment performed?

The treatment begins with preparing the skin and applying a topical anaesthetic cream for maximum comfort.

The SkinPen device is then used to:

  • create microchannels in the epidermis and dermis
  • stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen
  • activate the body’s regenerative processes

During the treatment, additional active therapies (serums) may be used, as they are absorbed more effectively through the microchannels.

The treatment delivers:

→ improved skin texture
→ reduced pore size
→ skin regeneration

For optimal results, it is often combined with:

  • exosomes for advanced regeneration
  • PRP and Angel PRP (Arthrex) for biostimulation
  • polynucleotides for dermal renewal
  • CO2 Smaxel (Soft Glow) for more intensive regeneration
  • Candela Frax for skin texture and scars

Who is the treatment for?

SkinPen® microneedling is ideally suited for:

  • uneven skin texture
  • enlarged pores
  • fine lines
  • acne scars
  • dull, lacklustre skin

It is particularly suited to those who wish to:

  • take a natural approach to ageing
  • improve skin quality without adding volume
  • achieve gradual, long-lasting results

Our approach

At our clinic, microneedling is far from a routine treatment.

It is delivered as a controlled, precise skin therapy, with:

  • an individual assessment of treatment depth
  • a tailored selection of active ingredients
  • combination with advanced technologies

The treatment is carried out by a trained medical team under dermatological supervision, and what sets us apart is:

  • safety
  • precision
  • a natural-looking result

Preparing for the treatment

Before the treatment:

  • avoid retinol and acids for several days beforehand
  • do not attend with irritated skin
  • the skin must be clean

An anaesthetic cream is applied prior to the treatment.


Recovery and precautions

Following the treatment, you may experience:

  • redness (24–48 hours)
  • a sensation of warmth and tightness

We recommend:

  • SPF protection
  • avoiding sun exposure
  • avoiding active skincare for several days
  • gentle skincare

When are results visible?

The first effects can be seen within a few days:

  • a fresher-looking complexion

The full result develops through:

  • a period of several weeks
  • the processes of neocollagenesis
