What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as medical needling or collagen induction therapy, is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation technique backed by over 90 independent validation studies.
How Mirconeedling Works
Using the FDA-cleared, CE marked SkinPen Precision device, we create thousands of controlled micro-injuries (microchannels) in your skin using fine sterile needles. These microchannels penetrate both the upper (epidermis) and lower (dermis) layers, triggering your skin's natural healing cascade. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin - the essential proteins that form your skin's scaffolding, providing support, strength, and elasticity.
Why Your Skin Needs This
As we age, and through lifestyle choices and sun damage, our collagen and elastin break down. This leads to fine lines, wrinkles, textural issues, and enlarged pores. Microneedling reverses this process by prompting your skin to remodel itself over the coming months.
What Makes SkinPen Different:
Unlike cosmetic needling rollers for home use, SkinPen Precision controls needle depth with great precision. This ensures scarless wound healing and stimulates the production of the correct type of collagen. SkinPen was the first FDA cleared microneedling device and is suitable for all skin tones and types, all year round.
Who is This For?
Microneedling is clinically indicated to treat:
Fine lines and wrinkles (face and neck - clinically significant improvement proven)
Enlarged pores and textural issues
Acne scarring (in adults aged 22 years or older)
Surgical scars
Stretch marks (pink and white)
Pigmentation disorders including melasma, vitiligo, and solar lentigines (sun spots)
General skin rejuvenation for a healthier, more youthful appearance
Suitable for all skin types and tones. Perfect if you're looking for proven, effective skin transformation without invasive procedures.

Mirconeedling FAQ’s
-
A: We apply topical anaesthetic cream for 30 minutes before treatment, making the procedure comfortable for most clients.
As one client said: "I was pleasantly surprised it did not hurt at all" - Olivia, Truro
-
A: Expect pink skin for 2-3 days, though many clients find redness barely lasts 24 hours. You can typically return to normal activities quickly, making this an ideal lunchtime treatment.
-
A: Your skin begins remodelling immediately, but visible improvements develop over weeks and months as new collagen forms. Many clients notice improvements after just one session, with optimal results after a course of treatments.
-
A: Yes! Microneedling is suitable for all skin tones and types and can be performed year-round, unlike some treatments that require avoiding sun exposure.
-
Q: How is this different from at-home derma rollers?
A: Home rollers offer very shallow penetration designed only to help serums absorb. Medical microneedling with SkinPen Precision penetrates at controlled depths to actually stimulate collagen production and skin remodelling - completely different results.
-
A: Nina has 15 years NHS background as an Occupational Therapist with a Master of Science degree in Health Care from Exeter University, plus 18 years experience in the beauty/skincare industry. As a non-medic, she has completed additional training to be certified to purchase and apply prescription-only topical anaesthetic cream. You're welcome to view her SkinPen training certification.
-
A: Absolutely. SkinPen Precision is backed by more than 90 independent validation studies and was the first FDA cleared microneedling device. It's CE marked and proven safe and effective.
What Our Customers Say
"I have had four sessions with the Skin Pen so far, Nina was brilliant and went through all the information about the treatment and what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised it did not hurt at all, and the redness barely lasted 24 hours. I have seen a considerable difference in my skin and I'm really pleased with the results so far. The treatment has improved the texture of my skin as well as fading the scars. I would recommend this treatment for anyone wanting to improve the appearance of their skin."
Olivia - Truro

Steph - Newquay
