For years, Dermapen was a treatment our clients loved, and it gave beautiful results. So when we decided to change to SkinPen, it wasn't a decision we made lightly. We spent time researching, training and asking ourselves one simple question: what is the very best we can offer the skin we care for?
The answer was SkinPen. Here's why.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is a medical grade microneedling device that creates thousands of tiny micro channels in the skin. This gently triggers your body's natural healing response, encouraging fresh collagen and elastin to rebuild firmer, smoother and healthier skin from within. It's often called collagen induction therapy, and it's one of the most effective ways to renew your skin naturally, without heat, lasers or chemicals.
The First FDA Cleared Microneedling Device
One of the biggest reasons we chose SkinPen is the level of testing behind it. SkinPen was the first microneedling device in the world to be cleared by the FDA. To earn that clearance, everything was put under the microscope, from the device itself to the needle cartridge that touches your skin.
For us, that matters deeply. When you lie on our treatment bed, you're trusting us with your skin and your wellbeing. Knowing the device we use has been through such careful scrutiny gives us complete confidence, and we want you to feel that confidence too.
Clinically Proven Results
SkinPen has clinical evidence behind it for improving the appearance of acne scarring and neck wrinkles, two of the concerns we're asked about most often in clinic. It also works beautifully for fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentation, uneven texture and tired, dull skin.
What we love most is that the results are real and they're truly yours. Your skin does the rebuilding, so everything looks natural, and the improvements keep developing for weeks after each treatment.
Safety and Hygiene You Can Feel Good About
Every SkinPen treatment uses a brand new, sterile, single use cartridge, designed to prevent any cross contamination. It's one less thing you ever need to wonder about, and it reflects the standard of care we believe every client deserves.
SkinPen also suits a wide range of skin types and tones, and it can even be enjoyed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Before your first treatment, we always take the time to understand your skin and your health, so every treatment is completely right for you.
Consistency Treatment After Treatment
SkinPen delivers precise, even microneedling across the skin. That consistency means smoother healing, a more comfortable experience and results you can count on, whether it's your first session or your sixth.
Most people describe the sensation as a bit like velcro brushed across the skin. It feels scratchy rather than painful, and it's over before you know it. Afterwards your skin will look a little flushed, much like a mild sunburn, which usually settles within a day or two.
What This Means for You
If you've had Dermapen with us before, you'll find SkinPen familiar in all the best ways, with the same focus on renewing your skin from within, now backed by an even higher standard of testing and safety. If you're new to microneedling, there's never been a better time to experience what it can do.
For lasting results, we generally recommend a course of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, paired with the right homecare to help your skin thrive between sessions.
