SkinPen Microneedling
What is the SkinPen® Microneedling Treatment at CK Aesthetics?
At CK Aesthetics, our SkinPen® treatment represents the gold standard in medical microneedling. This advanced, FDA-cleared procedure uses sterile, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This deliberate process triggers the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. We enhance this powerful regenerative journey by pairing it with premium, targeted serums tailored to your skin's needs, such as Exosomes/Purasomes NC150 (bio-identical cellular extracts that supercharge repair and hydration) or specialised Nutri-Complexes for deep revitalisation of tired, aged, or dehydrated skin. We can also use it with a PRP ‘Vampire Facial’ treatment.
Treatment Duration & Frequency at Our Clinic: A single treatment, including preparation and serum infusion, takes approximately 60 minutes. For optimal collagen remodelling and addressing specific concerns, we typically recommend a course of 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. To maintain your rejuvenated results and support ongoing skin health, we suggest 1–2 maintenance treatments per year.
How Long do the Results Last: Results are progressive and build over time as your skin generates new collagen. Initial improvements in texture and radiance are often seen within a few weeks. The most significant results in firmness, smoothness, and tone develop over 2–3 months following your course. Since this treatment works by remodelling your skin's foundational structure, results are long-lasting and can be effectively maintained with our follow-up plan.
Downtime & Aftercare: SkinPen® involves a short, planned recovery period. Immediately after treatment, your skin will appear flushed and feel warm, similar to a moderate sunburn, for 24–72 hours. Mild peeling or dryness may follow as the skin rejuvenates. We provide a detailed, supportive aftercare regimen, which includes using gentle, hydrating products and a strict mineral-based sunscreen. Avoiding active ingredients, heat, and strenuous exercise for 5–7 days is crucial for optimal healing and results.
Main Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling
Collagen & Elastin Induction: Directly stimulates the production of new, healthy fibres for firmer, more resilient skin.
Improved Texture & Scar Remodelling: Effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and large pores.
Reduction of Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Plumps and smooths the skin from within, softening the look of ageing.
Enhanced Product Absorption: Creates micro-channels that allow for unparalleled absorption of advanced regenerative serums.
Even Skin Tone: Helps reduce hyperpigmentation and sun damage for a more radiant, unified complexion.
Who is SkinPen® Microneedling For?
SkinPen® is an ideal treatment for anyone seeking significant skin rejuvenation without lasers or surgery. It is perfect for individuals concerned with textural issues like acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, or enlarged pores, and those with dull, sun-damaged, or uneven skin tone. It is also an excellent choice for clients looking to enhance overall skin health and vitality and who are committed to the brief, necessary aftercare period to achieve transformative, natural-looking results.

Exosomes are tiny, "messenger" vesicles that naturally signal your skin cells to repair, regenerate, and produce new collagen. In our clinic, we use Purosomes, a premier brand of exosome that delivers a highly concentrated complex of 20 billion pure exosomes directly to the skin to accelerate healing and reverse signs of ageing. Because Purosomes reprogramme your cells to behave like younger skin, they are the ultimate treatment upgrade for anyone undergoing microneedling or laser therapies who wants to drastically reduce downtime while targeting fine lines, scarring, or a compromised skin barrier. Essentially, if you are looking for the most advanced, medical-grade method to achieve a radiant, youthful complexion with faster recovery, Purosomes are the perfect choice for you.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), famously known as the "Vampire Facial," is a natural regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate intense skin repair and collagen production. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the golden, nutrient-dense plasma, and then reintroducing it into the skin via microneedling or injection.
In our clinic, we use a high-yield PRP system that ensures a superior concentration of platelets to target dark circles, fine lines, and dullness from within. This treatment is the gold standard for clients who prefer a 100% natural, "biocompatible" approach to anti-ageing, as it uses your own biological material to restore a healthy, luminous glow and improve overall skin thickness.

We aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Most patients describe the feeling as a vibrating sensation with a light "scratchiness." We can apply a topical anaesthetic prior to treatment to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the session.

While your skin may look glowing shortly after treatment, the "true" results of collagen induction take time. You will typically see a noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone within 4 weeks, with the most dramatic results appearing 3 to 6 months after your initial course.
