SkinPen® Microneedling
Discover the benefits of professional microneedling with SkinPen® Precision at The Aesthetics Nurse Clinic in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire.
SkinPen® is a professional microneedling device designed to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. By creating thousands of controlled microchannels within the skin, the treatment encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality.
SkinPen® microneedling is an excellent option for clients who want to improve their skin naturally, without adding volume or significantly changing their appearance.

- Acne scarring
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Loss of firmness
- General skin quality
- Scarring

How Does SkinPen® Work?
During treatment, the SkinPen® device creates precise, controlled microchannels within the skin.
These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, encouraging the production and remodelling of collagen and elastin.
As the skin renews itself, clients may notice improvements in texture, smoothness and firmness, with results continuing to develop in the weeks following treatment.
What Happens During Your SkinPen® Treatment?
Your treatment begins with a consultation and assessment of your skin. We will discuss your concerns, medical history and treatment goals before creating a personalised treatment plan.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before the SkinPen® device is passed systematically across the treatment area.
The depth of treatment can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and your individual skin concerns.
Following treatment, the skin commonly appears pink or red, similar to mild sunburn. You may also experience some warmth, tightness, dryness or mild sensitivity. This usually settles as the skin begins its natural recovery process.
When Will I See Results?
SkinPen® works by encouraging a biological process rather than providing an artificial or instant result.
Some clients notice their skin beginning to look fresher as it recovers, while improvements in texture and skin quality develop gradually as new collagen is produced and remodelled.
For concerns such as acne scarring or more significant textural changes, a course of treatments may be recommended.
At your consultation, we can advise on the most appropriate treatment frequency and number of sessions based on your skin and individual goals.
SkinPen® for Acne Scarring
Microneedling can be particularly beneficial for suitable clients concerned about the appearance of acne scars and uneven skin texture.
The controlled microchannels created during treatment stimulate the skin’s repair and remodelling processes, helping to improve the appearance and texture of certain types of acne scarring over a course of treatments.
A consultation is important before treatment, as not every type of acne or acne scarring should be treated in the same way.
Combine SkinPen® with Professional Skin Analysis
For clients who are unsure which treatment their skin needs, we can combine your consultation with our Visage Skin Pro+ advanced skin analysis.
Our skin analysis technology allows us to assess different aspects of your skin in greater detail and helps us create a personalised treatment and homecare plan based on your individual concerns.
This can be particularly useful when planning a course of SkinPen® treatments alongside professional skincare, chemical peels or other skin treatments.
Is There Downtime After SkinPen®?
SkinPen® is minimally invasive, although some temporary downtime should be expected.
Immediately following treatment, your skin may look red or flushed and can feel warm, tight or sensitive. The level of redness varies between clients and according to the intensity of treatment.
Your practitioner will provide you with appropriate aftercare instructions following your appointment.
It is particularly important to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure and follow the recommended post-treatment skincare while the skin barrier recovers.
