Dermapen - Complete Skin Needling

A non-surgical treatment that may support skin texture and tone. Performed by trained clinicians, this procedure involves the use of a precision-controlled device to initiate the skin’s natural healing process.

Skin Needling Treatment

At Complete Skin Specialists, skin needling is performed by trained cosmetic nurses and dermal therapists under clinical supervision. This procedure uses a precision-controlled device to create microchannels in the skin, which may help stimulate a natural healing response.

Skin needling may be considered for individuals seeking to support the appearance of uneven skin tone, fine lines, or mild acne scarring. Suitability depends on individual skin type, concerns, and medical history.

About Complete Skin Needling

Complete Skin Needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical treatment that uses a precision-controlled Dermapen® device to create tiny microchannels in the skin. These microscopic punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, supporting the production of collagen and elastin—two proteins that help maintain skin strength and elasticity.

By triggering this renewal process, Complete Skin Needling is designed to support skin rejuvenation and may help improve overall tone and texture over time.

Areas that can be treated:

Full face
Full face and neck
Skin Needling can be combined with Enzyme Peels – ask our team for more information!

Frequently asked questions

How does Complete Skin Needling work?

The treatment is performed by our trained cosmetic professionals using the latest Dermapen® technology. During the procedure:

A specialised microneedling device gently glides across the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
These micro-injuries stimulate collagen production, helping to repair and regenerate the skin from within.
The process helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration, resulting in a naturally smoother, plumper appearance.
The microchannels created during the treatment also allow for better absorption of targeted serums, further supporting results.

What may be the benefits?

Complete Skin Needling offers a range of benefits for various skin concerns, which may include:

Improved skin texture – Reduces roughness and unevenness for a softer, more refined complexion.
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles – Stimulates collagen for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Minimised pores – Helps refine enlarged pores and smooth skin texture.
Mild scar and acne scar reduction – Improves the appearance of scars by promoting new collagen formation.
Even skin tone – Reduces pigmentation, sun damage, and redness for a more balanced complexion.
Stretch mark improvement – Helps restore elasticity and smooth the appearance of stretch marks.
Enhanced product absorption – Boosts the efficacy of active ingredients by increasing skin permeability.

Please note that the effectiveness and suitability of these treatments may vary from person to person. A consultation with our qualified practitioners is necessary to determine the best treatment options for you.

Aftercare and recovery

To achieve the best possible results, we recommend the following pre-treatment guidelines:

Avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinol, exfoliating acids, or Vitamin C for 5 days before treatment.
Stay out of direct sun exposure and avoid self-tanning products.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment.
If you have a history of cold sores, let your clinician know as preventative medication may be advised.

Post-treatment care

Your skin may feel warm, red, and slightly sensitive immediately after your session—this is normal and typically subsides within 24–48 hours. To support optimal healing:

Apply a hydrating, soothing serum recommended by your clinician.
Avoid active ingredients (retinol, exfoliating acids, Vitamin C) for 5–7 days.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen daily to protect your results.
Avoid heat-based activities such as saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
Do not pick or scratch the skin as it heals.

Results develop progressively over several weeks, with further improvements visible after multiple sessions. Your clinician will recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your skin goals.
