Microneedling with SkinPen® in London

London Dental & Aesthetic Clinic

Microneedling City of London

Reveal smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with SkinPen® Microneedling —
the first FDA-cleared microneedling device trusted by clinicians worldwide.
At SmileHub Spitalfields, we use SkinPen to safely stimulate your skin’s natural
collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and overall skin health with
minimal downtime.

The Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling

Microneedling with SkinPen rejuvenates your skin from within by triggering your body’s natural healing process. The result? Smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Key benefits include:

  • Smoother skin texture and improved firmness
  • Reduction in acne scars and stretch marks
  • Diminished fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduced pore size and uneven texture
  • More even skin tone and luminosity

SkinPen delivers visible, long-lasting results with minimal discomfort — perfect for anyone looking to refresh and restore their complexion naturally.

Conditions Treated with Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling effectively targets a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Large pores and uneven texture
  • Stretch marks
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Loss of elasticity and dullness

Because SkinPen offers precise needle-depth control, it can safely treat both facial
and body areas, adjusting intensity for each patient’s individual skin needs.

Why Choose SkinPen® Over Other Microneedling Devices?

Unlike traditional microneedling rollers or pens, SkinPen® uses advanced
oscillating magnetic technology, ensuring controlled, consistent needle depth
for safer and more predictable results.
This precision allows a wider range of skin concerns to be effectively treated — from
fine surface lines to deep acne scars — all while maintaining your skin’s integrity.
As an FDA-cleared device, SkinPen meets the highest global standards for safety
and efficacy, backed by scientific research and trusted by medical professionals
worldwide.

How Many Microneedling Sessions Are Recommended?

For optimal results, we recommend a course of three SkinPen microneedling
sessions, spaced around four weeks apart.
This allows your skin to rebuild collagen naturally between treatments.
You’ll see visible improvement after your first session, with results continuing to
enhance over time as new collagen develops, giving your skin a smoother and firmer
texture.

How to Prepare for Your Microneedling Treatment

To ensure the best outcome from your SkinPen treatment:

  • Avoid retinols, AHAs, and BHAs for 3–5 days before your appointment.
  • Pause any exfoliating or laser treatments at least a week prior.
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your session.
  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning for 48 hours before treatment.

Your practitioner will carry out a full skin assessment and design a bespoke
treatment plan tailored to your skin goals.

What to Expect During Your SkinPen Treatment

Your microneedling appointment typically lasts 30 minutes, depending on the area
treated.

  • Your skin is cleansed and numbed to ensure comfort.
  • The SkinPen device gently glides across your skin, creating microchannels
  • that trigger collagen production. While the microchannels are open we apply
  • Sunekos to further enhance collagen and elastin production.
  • You may feel a light vibration or mild prickling sensation.

The process is precise, comfortable, and designed to deliver consistent, glowing
results with minimal downtime.

Aftercare: What to Expect After Microneedling

Following treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed, similar to mild
sunburn. This typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
You may also experience slight tightness or sensitivity as your skin begins to heal.

Aftercare advice:

  • Avoid touching your skin or wearing makeup for 24 hours.
  • Use only the post-treatment serum provided by your clinician.
  • Avoid exercise, saunas, and direct sunlight for 48 hours.
  • Apply SPF daily and keep skin hydrated.

Within days, your skin will feel smoother and more radiant, and collagen production
will continue to improve your complexion over the following weeks.

How long will I be numb?

We use a topical local anaesthetic cream (Emla) – the effects typically last no longer than 60 mins

How long will the redness last?

Redness can be expected to be most prominent a few hours after the treatment is complete. Some residual redness is expected for the next 2 days. Some peeling is of the skin is also expected up to day 4.

Will I need to avoid make-up?

We ask that you don’t wear make up on the day of treatment and for 24 hours after the treatment. After the first 24 hours you can resume
light makeup wear, the peeling may mean your make-up doesn’t sit as it usually does until the dryness has resolved.

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment typically lasts 45 minutes, with the initial 15 minutes being application of the numbing cream. The in chair time is usually no longer than 30 mins.

What should I avoid post treatment?

Avoid hot water or steam for 24 hours. Avoid sun exposure. SPF use is critical after 24h. You can wash your face gently the next morning. Please ensure you sleep on clean pillows. Avoid excessive touching the
face for the first 24 hours. Avoid Tretinoin for 6 months.

When will I see an improvement?

Initial results can be seen by the end of the first week with the best results visible by 4 weeks as your body has consistently built collagen by this point.

Why are 3 sessions recommended?

Clinical trials have shown the best results to be achieved over a course of 3 treatments with slight improvement in each session. Once 3 sessions have been completed, one session every 6 months is recommended to maintain
results.
