SkinPen Microneedling

Revitalize Your Skin with SkinPen Microneedling:

SkinPen microneedling at Harley Street Injectables is a minimally invasive treatment that uses very fine needles to nudge your skin into repairing and renewing itself. It is often chosen to soften acne scars, fine lines and rough texture, with only short‑lived redness afterwards.​

During treatment, the SkinPen handpiece moves across the skin and creates lots of tiny, evenly spaced micro‑channels. These micro‑injuries are small enough not to damage the surrounding tissue but big enough to wake up your skin’s natural healing processes.​

The Science Behind SkinPen Microneedling:

SkinPen is a motorised, FDA‑cleared microneedling device that lets the practitioner control depth and speed, so treatment can be adjusted for different areas and concerns. The controlled punctures trigger a wound‑healing cascade that leads to new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.​

How SkinPen Works

  1. Micro-Injuries Creation:

    • Sterile, single‑use needle cartridges create thousands of microscopic channels in the upper skin layers, laid out in a regular pattern.​

    • These micro-injuries are strategically spaced to trigger a natural healing response without causing significant damage to the surrounding tissue.

  2. Healing Response:

    • Inflammation: Blood flow and growth factors increase in the treated area as the body recognises the tiny injuries.​

    • Proliferation: Fibroblasts move in and start building new collagen and elastin, along with fresh skin cells.

    • Remodeling: Over time, this new tissue is reorganised and strengthened, so the skin surface looks smoother and feels firmer.​

Benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy

Increased Collagen Production:

Microneedling’s main purpose is to encourage fresh collagen and elastin, which support firmness and elasticity in the skin.​

Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone:

As the new tissue forms, many people notice a more even surface and less obvious textural irregularities.​

Reduction in Scarring:

Studies show that SkinPen can reduce the depth and visibility of atrophic acne scars and similar scarring after a short course of treatments.​

Minimally Invasive:

No heat and no deep cutting are involved; most patients experience temporary redness and mild sensitivity, then return to normal routines within a day or so.​

Scientific Evidence and Clinical Studies

Numerous clinical studies support the efficacy and safety of SkinPen microneedling:

  • Collagen induction: Microneedling with devices such as SkinPen has been shown to upregulate collagen types I, III and VII and increase newly synthesized collagen and tropoelastin, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time.​

  • Scar reduction: Clinical studies on atrophic acne scars report statistically significant improvements in scar grading and texture after a course of microneedling sessions, with many patients and clinicians rating scar reduction as good to very good.​

  • Safety profile: SkinPen is FDA‑cleared for facial acne scars, and studies support its use across all skin types and tones with minimal downtime when performed correctly, aided by sterile, single‑use needle cartridges and a non‑ablative technique that preserves the skin’s surface.​

Experience the Science of SkinPen

At Harley Street Injectables, trained clinicians tailor needle depth, pass count and session spacing to your skin’s needs rather than using a one‑setting‑fits‑all approach. This offers a science‑backed, low‑downtime way to work on scars, lines and general skin quality by harnessing the skin’s own repair mechanisms.​

FAQs
