Takroni Clinic recommends medical microneedling with SkinPen if a thorough consultation with one of our experienced clinicians or therapists determines that you are suitable. We will explain how the treatment is carried out, how it works to improve the quality of your skin, and the results you can expect to achieve. We may also carry out a skin scan prior to treatment to assess the deeper layers of your skin using our Observ520x device to visualise collagen levels and pigmentation. This technology can also be used to monitor your progress throughout treatment.
We begin the treatment by applying a topical anaesthetic to the treatment area before the SkinPen device is moved over the skin’s surface. At Takroni Clinic we treat the full face, eyes and neck area for a full rejuvenating effect. This treatment can also be used on the body to help improve the appearance of stretch marks or to generally rejuvenate the skin such as on the decolletage. The patented microneedle tip creates 98000 microchannels in the skin per minute at specific depths as it is passed along the skin. We refer to this process as causing controlled trauma which benefits the complexion by triggering a response that works to repair and replenish the skin with collagen and elastin. The overall functioning of the complexion improves as circulation increases, new skin cells are produced, and collagen levels are elevated. After your treatment a mask will be applied, and you will be placed under our Dermalux LED device for accelerated healing time and maximum results.
Extra care will be needed in the few days that follow the treatment as the skin will be feeling more sensitive than usual. We often describe the sensation as being similar to sun burn for the first couple of days. Gentle motions will need to be used when washing the skin and active products should be avoided for 5 days. Takroni Clinic highly recommends daily use of an appropriate SPF 24 hours following treatment. You will also be provided a recovery balm to be used from 24 hours post treatment to help maximise results and reduce healing time.
Medical microneedling with the SkinPen is both a patient and therapist favourite treatment thanks to the amazing results it can produce. The skin’s replenishment often takes around 3 – 6 months to fully develop after a course of treatments when a softer, smoother, brighter, more youthful appearance transpires. Conditions such as lines and wrinkles and acne scarring become softer looking due to the remodelled tissues in the dermis.

Medical microneedling with the SkinPen device is suitable for most patients over 18 who are looking to improve acne scarring, pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks or even pigmentation with a minimally invasive process. It is even great for those that just want to preserve their collagen levels with otherwise great skin as a method to prevent signs of premature skin ageing. Over time, as your skin ages, you may start to notice a dullness, larger pores, pigmentation and lines and wrinkles particularly around the eye area then other areas of the face. This treatment helps to remodel your skin, replenishing the collagen and elastin which otherwise reduces annually by around 1.5 %.
Microneedling with SkinPen is a minimally invasive procedure which is considered to be a safe and effective solution for improving the overall appearance of the skin. Takroni Clinic takes your well-being very seriously and we heavily research the devices that we offer at the clinic to ensure you are always getting the best available on the market. The SkinPen device has unrivalled safety and technology for you to obtain the best possible results with medical microneedling.
A powerful numbing cream is applied prior to your treatment. This helps to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. Post treatment it is normal for your skin to feel a little sunburnt and your senior therapist will be able to guide you on how to best protect your skin post treatment.
You may find that for 24-48 hours after the treatment your skin will look red and a little swollen, and some slight bruising/scabs may also appear. The skin could also feel sensitive for a couple of days, which may feel similar to a mild case of sunburn. At around day 2-3 you may notice some dryness and light flaking of your skin. Your experienced therapist will ensure they provide you with suitable aftercare advice to aid your healing.
