MICRONEEDLING WITH SKINPEN
We are pleased to announce that our beauty studio now offers the innovative SkinPen® microneedling treatment! SkinPen® is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion.
This treatment is ideal for improving acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and for overall skin rejuvenation. SkinPen® works without the use of heat or chemicals and is suitable for all skin types.
The treatment process is divided into three phases
1. Inflammation Phase – Fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin, increasing blood flow and initiating the healing process.
2. Proliferation Phase – New skin cells emerge, while collagen and elastin fibers are formed, strengthening the skin and making it more elastic.
3. Remodeling Phase – The new collagen matures, integrates into the skin’s structure, and improves its firmness and appearance.
The SkinPen® is the first microneedling device to receive European CE and US FDA certification as a medical device. It has been laboratory tested and validated to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MICRONEEDLING
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling with the Skinpen is a relatively painless treatment because the needles move very quickly. Most of our clients experience a slight tingling sensation, but this is well tolerated.
FOR WHICH SKIN PROBLEMS IS MICRONEEDLING SUITABLE?
Microneedling has a wide range of uses. It is suitable for skin tightening and reducing fine to medium-depth wrinkles. It can also refine enlarged pores and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Microneedling can also lead to improvements in sun-damaged skin with pigmentation. After microneedling, the skin appears fresher and more radiant.
MICRONEEDLING SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE?
Slight redness may occur immediately after microneedling, which usually subsides after 1-2 days. However, there is generally no downtime.
CONSIDER MICRONEEDLING?
On the 1st to 3rd day after treatment, you should avoid the following:
- Direct sun exposure, tanning beds, or saunas
- Hair removal on the treated areas
- Exfoliants or skincare products with irritating ingredients
- A high sun protection factor should be used during and after the needling treatment to prevent unwanted pigmentation.
The advantages of Microneedling:
- Clinically tested and FDA approved
- Minimally invasive & virtually painless
