What is SkinPen Precision microneedling and how does it work?

SkinPen Precision is an FDA-cleared, medical-grade microneedling device. It creates thousands of controlled, microscopic channels in the skin to trigger the natural wound-healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production without heat or chemicals.

What is the difference between SkinPen Precision and the SkinPen Precision Elite?

The SkinPen Precision Elite is the next-generation, FDA-cleared upgrade featuring ActiSine active needle retraction technology. This actively pulls needles back to prevent dragging or scratching, offering a smoother, quieter, and faster collagen-boosting treatment.

Is SkinPen microneedling painful?

Client comfort is a priority. A medical-grade topical numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure. Most patients describe the treatment as a mild vibrating or scratching sensation rather than pain.

What is the downtime after a SkinPen treatment?

Downtime is minimal. Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours, and sterile aftercare products are provided to support rapid healing.

Is the SkinPen Precision Elite safe for all skin tones?

Yes. Because SkinPen Precision Elite is a mechanical, heat-free medical device, it avoids the risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation associated with lasers, making it completely safe for all skin colors and tones (Fitzpatrick types I-VI).

How many SkinPen sessions will I need, and when will I see results?

Initial radiance appears within days, but structural collagen remodeling takes time. A course of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is ideal for general rejuvenation, while deeper acne scarring or surgical scars may require up to 6 sessions.

What skin concerns can SkinPen treat?

SkinPen effectively targets fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, surgical scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and overall rough or uneven skin texture.

Some patients experience mild, minimal discomfort. We ensure this is reduced with a numbing cream, which is applied before the treatment.
For the first 8/10 hours your skin may look quite pink. Within 24 hours your skin should feel back to normal.
The SkinPen Precision and the SkinPen Precision Elite are both medical-grade, FDA-cleared microneedling devices. They share the same core clinical mechanism—using sterile, vertical needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin to trigger natural collagen and elastin production.
However, the SkinPen Precision Elite is the next-generation upgrade designed to improve treatment performance, practitioner control, and patient comfort. We are delighted to have the most advanced technology of SkinPen Precision Elite at Naturally Flawless Aesthetics in Derby.
Yes, absolutely. SkinPen Precision Elite is a non-thermal (heat-free) medical treatment that relies entirely on mechanical micro-injuries to kickstart your body’s natural wound-healing response. Because it does not generate heat like some cosmetic lasers or chemical peels, it carries virtually zero risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This makes it 100% safe and highly effective for all skin colors and tones (Fitzpatrick types I through VI).
Naturally Flawless Aesthetics in Derby are the first aesthetics clinic in Derby to have the latest SkinPen Elite device.
Whilst we are located just outside of Derby city centre, you will find the accessibility of parking much easier than being in a city centre clinic. We offer the highest level of service and clinical excellence throughout all of our aesthetics treatments, including SkinPen Elite.
You will notice a fresh, hydrated glow within just a few days as the initial post-treatment healing takes place. However, true structural collagen remodeling takes time. For general skin rejuvenation, fine lines, and pore refining, we usually recommend a course of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. If we are targeting deeper structural concerns like stubborn acne scarring or surgical scars, a tailored series of up to 6 sessions may be recommended for maximum transformation.
