HOW IT WORKS
SkinPen is our secret to skin that truly glows. This clever handheld device uses fine, sterile needles moving in a rapid vertical motion to create thousands of tiny micro channels in the skin. The needles move so quickly that most people are surprised by how comfortable it feels, often describing nothing more than a gentle vibration. Behind the scenes, your skin is springing into action, kickstarting its natural healing process and producing fresh collagen and elastin for a firmer, smoother and beautifully youthful complexion.
Then comes the magic. We apply active serums packed with vitamins, antioxidants and ingredients that love to build collagen. These glide through the micro channels into the deeper layers of your skin, where they can work their very best, leaving you with skin that looks radiant, refreshed and wonderfully alive.
Microneedling is a scientifically proven method for inducing collagen production. By using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, this treatment activates your skin’s natural healing process. The result is increased collagen and elastin production, leading to improved texture, tone, and overall appearance. Additionally, microneedling enhances the absorption of skincare products, maximising their effectiveness.
Scarring
The SkinPen creates rejuvenating fractional micro-channels in the skin, which actively break up existing scar tissue, encouraging the production and distribution of new collagen, helping to build healthy, firmer skin in the scarred region, resulting in a smoother and more even tone.
Stretch Marks & Cellulite
Microneedling is a very safe treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing response to fade stretch marks. Combined with weight loss and exercise, this can also reduce the appearance of cellulite as well as sagging, 'crepe' textured skin by building tighter, thicker skin.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
The natural wound-healing responses created by microneedling treatments will kick start the production of fresh, new collagen and elastin production in the skin, for transformative changes in the skin that last. Treatments can commence at the onset or before fine lines take hold.
Acne & Acne Scarring
SkinPen can calm congested skin and soften scarring at any age. It helps refine blackheads and whiteheads, smooth uneven texture and fade the marks left behind by past breakouts, leaving your skin clearer, healthier and glowing with confidence.
Pigmentation
SkinPen microneedling helps fade pigmentation by creating thousands of tiny micro channels in the skin's upper layers. This awakens your skin's natural renewal and helps calm overactive pigment cells, encouraging a more even skin tone and a beautifully radiant glow.
Enlarged Pores
Microneedling can be an effective method for reducing enlarged pores. Each session activates the natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen, in turn plumping and tightening skin, and minimising the appearance of enlarged pores.
Revitalise your face and neck with SkinPen, stimulating fresh collagen for smoother, firmer skin. Softening fine lines, acne scars and more, this treatment brings out the very best of your natural beauty.
The décolletage is often the first place to show the story of sun, time and life, with fine lines, crepiness and uneven tone appearing long before we notice them on the face. This dedicated SkinPen treatment focuses entirely on your chest, encouraging fresh collagen to firm, smooth and renew the skin from within. The result is a softer, brighter décolletage you'll feel proud to show off in your favourite neckline.
Prepaying keeps you on track, takes the thinking out of rebooking, and sets you up for smoother, brighter, healthier skin you'll love seeing in the mirror.
Your décolletage deserves just as much love as your face. This delicate area shows sun damage, crepiness and fine lines early, and SkinPen works beautifully to firm, smooth and refresh it. Add it to your treatment for a seamless, radiant glow from your face right down to your neckline.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is one of the most effective ways to renew your skin naturally. Using SkinPen, a medical grade microneedling device, we create thousands of tiny micro channels in the skin. This gently triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin to rebuild firmer, smoother and healthier skin from within.
Microneedling can soften fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scars, refine enlarged pores, and even out skin texture and tone. It's a wonderful treatment for dull or tired skin, sun damage, and areas like the neck and décolletage that need a little extra care. Because it works with your own skin rather than against it, results look natural and continue to build over the weeks that follow.
If you're looking for microneedling in Christchurch that delivers real, lasting results, SkinPen is a treatment we truly believe in.
It's one of the most common questions we're asked, and the answer usually surprises people. The best way to describe SkinPen microneedling is a bit like having velcro brushed across your skin. It feels scratchy rather than painful, and because the device moves so quickly, it's over before you know it.
Some areas, like the forehead, jawline and around the nose, can feel a little more sensitive than others, but the sensation passes quickly as we move across the skin. We check in with you throughout so you always feel relaxed and looked after.
Afterwards, your skin may feel warm and slightly tender, much like a mild sunburn, which settles within a day or two. For the fresh, smooth and glowing results microneedling delivers, a few minutes of scratchiness is well worth it.
One of the things we love most about SkinPen microneedling is how quickly your skin recovers. Straight after your treatment, your skin will look flushed and feel warm, much like a mild sunburn. This redness usually settles within 24 to 48 hours, and most people feel comfortable returning to their normal routine the next day.
Over the following few days, your skin may feel a little dry or tight, and you might notice some light flaking as it renews. This is a sign your skin is doing exactly what it should. By around a week, your skin will usually feel calm, fresh and noticeably smoother.
While the surface heals quickly, the real magic continues beneath. Collagen keeps building for weeks after each treatment, which is why your results keep improving long after your microneedling recovery is complete. We'll guide you through simple aftercare, including gentle skincare and daily sun protection, so your skin heals beautifully and you get the very best results.
Yes, when it's performed by a trained skin professional using a medical grade device, microneedling is a very safe and well researched treatment. SkinPen was the first microneedling device to be cleared by the FDA, so you can feel confident it has been clinically tested for both safety and results.
Every treatment uses a brand new, sterile, single use needle cartridge, and SkinPen's built in safety design prevents any cross contamination. Hygiene and your wellbeing always come first.
One of the things we love about SkinPen is that it suits almost everyone, and it can even be enjoyed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Before your first treatment, we'll take the time to understand your skin and your health. Some medications, such as blood thinners or certain acne treatments, can affect how your skin responds, and bleeding disorders like haemophilia may mean another treatment is a better fit. This conversation ensures every treatment is completely right for you.
Because SkinPen works with your skin's own healing process, it's gentle on all skin types and tones. Any side effects are usually limited to mild redness and dryness that settle within a few days, leaving you with fresh, healthy skin and the peace of mind that you're in safe, experienced hands.
Dermapen, the original microneedling pen, employs cutting-edge technology to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, stretch marks, and more. Although all microneedling devices are designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production by triggering a healing response in the skin, the results can vary significantly depending on the device and technique used. In-clinic devices, which penetrate deeper into the skin than home rollers, offer distinct advantages, particularly with the Dermapen4.
The Dermapen4 benefits from extensive experience, substantial research investment, and the most advanced technology and design. This results in superior precision, speed, safety, and features with each iteration. The Dermapen4 utilises a greater number of smaller needles oscillating at 110 revolutions per second. This not only reduces discomfort during treatment but also creates additional, finer micro-injuries at adjustable depths, maximising skin rejuvenation outcomes.
