​
What is Microneedling?
​
Microneedling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to work without chemicals or heat to stimulate the skin's natural healing process. It involves the use of a specialised pen device equipped with tiny needles that create controlled microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger a cascade of beneficial responses within the skin, leading to remarkable improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance.
​
​
The Science Behind Microneedling
Microneedling works by harnessing the body's innate healing mechanisms. When the needles of the SkinPen penetrate the skin, they create microchannels that stimulate the release of growth factors and promote the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein responsible for providing structure and firmness to the skin, while elastin contributes to its elasticity and ability to bounce back to normal after pulling a facial expression.

​
​What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
​
Enhanced Collagen and Elastin Production
​
Microneedling with SkinPen stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin elasticity, firmness, and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
​
Improved Skin Texture and Tone
​
Microneedling helps to generate new skin cells, promoting a more even skin texture and tone. It can effectively address rough skin, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, providing a rejuvenated appearance.
94% of patients noticed an improvement in how their fine lines and wrinkles looked at 1 month post treatment.
​
Reduction of Scarring and Acne Marks
​
By promoting the remodelling of damaged skin tissue, microneedling can help minimize the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars and stretchmarks, leading to a smoother complexion.
80% of patients noticed an improvement of acne scars in the treated areas at one month post treatment.
​
Minimized Pore Size
​
SkinPen microneedling treatment can assist in reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, making the skin appear smoother and more refined.
​
​
Increased Absorption of Skincare Products
​
The microchannels created during microneedling enhance the absorption of topical skincare products. This allows for deeper penetration of serums, moisturizers, and other products, maximizing their effectiveness in nourishing and improving the skin.
​
90% of patients said they would recommend SkinPen™ treatments to family and friend at 1 month post treatment.
​
​
Is Microneedling Safe for All Skin Tones?
​
​
Microneedling is suitable for individuals of all Fitzpatrick skin types. Whether you have fair skin (Type I) or dark skin (Type VI), microneedling treatments can be customized to address your specific concerns. The treatment is a versatile option for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation, regardless of their skin type or ethnicity. Our registered nurses at Holme Valley Skin Clinic will carefully assess your skin and tailor your microneedling treatment to ensure safe and optimal results for every Fitzpatrick skin type.
Can Microneedling Help with Hyperpigmentation?
Microneedling has shown promising results in reducing hyperpigmentation by promoting the regeneration of skin cells and improving overall skin tone.
​
The controlled micro-injuries created during the treatment stimulate the skin's healing response, leading to a more even distribution of melanin and a reduction in the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
​
This makes microneedling an effective option for those seeking to achieve a more balanced and radiant complexion. We have seen impressive results in reducing post inflammatory hyperpigmentation following a personalised treatment plan.
​
Why choose SkinPen™ over other microneedling devices?
​
There are multiple microneedling devices currently on the market, ranging from manual at-home derma rollers to microneedling machines. We wanted a device that combined accuracy, safety and efficacy.
After lengthy research we decided that the SkinPen™ stood out above other devices for the following reasons:
​
FDA-Cleared and Medical-Grade
​
SkinPen™ is an FDA-cleared device, ensuring its safety and effectiveness. It is a medical-grade tool that meets stringent quality standards, providing peace of mind for both practitioners and clients.
​
​
Precision and Customisation
​
SkinPen™ offers adjustable needle depths, allowing our skilled practitioners to tailor the treatment to the unique needs and concerns of each individual. This precision ensures optimal results as we can tailor the depth to target specific layers of skin depending on your skin’s thickness and requirements. For example we would use our shallower depths around the delicate eye area when the skin is thinnest. But it also allows us make the depth deep enough to penetrate skin that has been scarred from life events.
​
​
Controlled and Consistent Results
​
SkinPen™'s advanced technology delivers consistent results, ensuring that the microchannels created are uniform and precise across the treated area. This control maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment and enhances the overall outcome.
​
​
Safety and Hygiene
​
SkinPen™ features disposable needle cartridges, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination. This is further reduce by the disposable device cover that protects the device body from coming in to contact with anything, keeping it clean and safe between patients. We follow thorough infection prevention practices and ensure our devices and clinical space are sanitised in between patients. .
