At SLA Medical, we offer SkinPen microneedling, a clinically proven, minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural repair process to improve texture, tone, and overall radiance.
Using precision controlled micro-needles, the SkinPen creates thousands of microchannels in the skin, triggering a collagen and elastin response without damaging surrounding tissue.

This treatment is ideal for improving acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and general skin rejuvenation. It is suitable for all skin tones and types and delivers progressive improvements in skin texture, clarity, and radiance with minimal downtime.

All SkinPen microneedling sessions at SLA Medical include Dermalux LED phototherapy to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and maximise the treatment’s results.

How Long Does It Last?

Results from SkinPen microneedling are gradual, with most patients noticing visible improvements in skin texture and clarity 4–6 weeks post-treatment.
Because collagen remodelling continues for several months, optimal results are typically achieved after a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Is There Any Downtime?

SkinPen microneedling involves minimal downtime. Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear pink or red and feel slightly warm, similar to mild sunburn which typically settles within 24–72 hours.

The Dermalux LED session included in your treatment helps to calm inflammation and speed up recovery, allowing you to return to normal activities as soon as the next day.

We advise avoiding makeup, active skincare ingredients, and sun exposure for the first 24 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to heal optimally.
