Microneedling with Skinpen
Microneedling using Skinpen device in Brattleby, Lincoln
This is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that enhances overall skin texture. The handheld device uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. In response to this, the skin will repair and generate new collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (skin hydrators) such as hyaluronic acid. The result is smooth, hydrated, bright skin, improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, refinement of pores, and stretch marks.
Microneedling can be combined with exosomes. Due to the creation of tiny channels, the exosomes are able to penetrate much deeper into the skin. The exosomes applied are ethically sourced from bovine colostrum but also have the added benefit of containing essential growth factors, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, plant-derived stem cells, antioxidants, peptides, vitamins, and/or coenzymes. They boost the skin’s ability to heal and repair itself. Benefits include their ability to reset cellular activity, stimulate collagen production, maintain skin firmness and elasticity, accelerate skin repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance skin texture and tone.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is a controlled microneedling device that is FDA approved and uses tiny, sterile needles to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural repair process, increasing collagen and elastin production without causing significant damage to the skin’s surface.
This process helps reduce the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other textural irregularities
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven tone and dullness
By restoring structural support and promoting skin regeneration, SkinPen helps rejuvenate your complexion from within.

How It Works
During the treatment, a trained clinician gently glides the SkinPen device over targeted areas. The sterile micro-needles create precise micro-channels that stimulate healing while preserving the outer layer of skin.
As your skin responds, new collagen and elastin fibres are produced, helping improve firmness, elasticity and smoothness. Results develop gradually as the skin remodels itself over the following weeks.
Treatment Areas
SkinPen microneedling can be tailored for multiple areas, including:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage (upper chest)
- Hands
- Abdomen
Each area is carefully assessed to deliver the best possible outcomes based on individual skin condition and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation & Preparation
Your clinician will begin with a personalised consultation to understand your concerns, assess your skin and explain the treatment plan.
Procedure
Topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The SkinPen device is then gently moved over the skin’s surface in a series of passes using a gliding gel.
A typical session usually takes 45 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Results & Timeline
Visible improvements are often noticed after just one session, with optimal results usually seen after a series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. As collagen continues to rebuild, skin becomes smoother, firmer and more radiant over time.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
Enhances skin texture and tone
Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars
Minimises the look of enlarged pores
Supports a more youthful, refreshed complexion
Uses a fully regulated, medical-grade device
Unlike many invasive procedures, microneedling stimulates your skin’s own regenerative ability without significant downtime — making it a versatile option for many skin-concerns.
Aftercare
SkinPen is designed with safety and precision in mind. All treatments use sterile, single-use cartridges to help prevent contamination and ensure consistent performance.
After your microneedling session, mild redness or warmth is common and typically resolves within a day or two as your skin begins its healing process.
Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare guidance, including:
- Gentle cleansing and moisturisation
- Daily SPF30+ protection
- Temporary avoidance of abrasive skincare products
With proper care, results continue to improve as your skin settles and remodels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SkinPen safe?
Yes. SkinPen is FDA-cleared and CE marked therefore it is proven a safe and effective treatment. It is a medical-grade device, and the treatment is carried out in a clinical environment by an experienced clinican using sterile single-use cartridges.
Does microneedling hurt?
Corium Clinic routinely uses topical numbing cream before the procedure to minimise discomfort. Most patients find it very manageable and describe the sensation as light pressure or tingling.
When will I see results?
Most appointments last 15-30 minutes, making this an ideal treatment to perform during a lunchbreak or after work.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice a healthier glow within the first 7 days. Improvements in texture and firmness continue to build over the following weeks as collagen levels increase.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your specific skin concerns and based on your initial consultation. For acne scarring or deeper lines, a course of several treatments is usually recommended, up to 6 sessions, 4 weeks apart. We will advise on the best plan during your consultation.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling can be combined with treatments like muscle relaxing injections, skin boosters and/or biostimulators like polynucleotides to further enhance results. It is also an excellent way to prepare the skin for other treatments.
