SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Precision microneedling in Soho, central London, a clinically studied treatment that stimulates your skin's natural renewal processes to improve acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged pores and overall skin quality.
The short answer
What is SkinPen microneedling?
Microneedling with the SkinPen Precision device creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, switching on your body's own healing response so it builds fresh collagen and elastin. Over a course of sessions, that response gradually softens acne scarring, refines uneven texture and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
Every treatment is performed by an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner after a face-to-face consultation, with needle depth adjusted to the area, the concern and your overall skin health. The results build quietly over the months that follow, as new collagen continues to form.

Patient journey
What to expect from microneedling
Consultation & preparation
Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids and self-tan on the area for around 3 days before treatment, and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Do not book microneedling over sunburn or an active breakout: tell us and we will re-time your session.
During treatment
Aftercare
Redness settles over 24 to 48 hours. Avoid makeup, direct sun, swimming and heavy exercise for the first 24 to 48 hours, then reintroduce your skincare as we advise, with daily SPF throughout your course. We remain contactable after every treatment if you have any concerns.

FAQ

FAQs
How much does SkinPen microneedling cost?
Pricing depends on the areas treated and whether you have a single session or a course, and the full menu is in the pricing section above. Klarna and Clearpay are available for eligible treatments, and your nurse confirms the total with you at your consultation before anything is booked.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
That is decided with you rather than fixed in advance. It depends on the concern, how established it is and how your skin responds: general texture and pore concerns need far less than established acne or surgical scarring. We map out an honest session plan at your consultation before you commit to anything.
Does microneedling hurt?
Not much. Most patients describe the sensation as a light vibration with minimal discomfort. Sensitive areas, such as around the hairline or the bony parts of the face, can feel scratchier for a few seconds. Your nurse checks your comfort throughout and adjusts the approach where needed.
What is the downtime after SkinPen microneedling?
Expect redness and mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours, and skin that feels tight or sensitive for a few days. Most patients are comfortable being back at work the next day. Avoid direct sun, heavy exercise and makeup at first: we provide full aftercare guidance at your appointment.
When will I see results from microneedling?
Gradually. Collagen remodelling takes time, so texture, tone and fine lines improve over several weeks after each session, with the full picture emerging around 3 to 6 months into a course. Scar programmes build more slowly again. Individual results vary, which is why we review progress between sessions and adjust your plan.
