A precision microneedling device with adjustable depth, used to remodel acne scarring, refine texture and open a window for regenerative serums.
SkinPen is a precision microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate its own natural repair processes. Dr Ellie Sateei offers SkinPen microneedling at her London and Sevenoaks clinics for patients wanting to improve texture, scarring and overall skin quality.
Because the device allows precise control over needle depth, treatment can be tailored closely to your specific skin concern and tolerance.
SkinPen uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. This triggers the skin’s natural wound-healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin without the more significant disruption associated with some other resurfacing treatments.
Because the needles create very fine channels, the treatment is often combined with topical serums, such as AnteAGE Biosomes or Calecim Professional, which are applied while the skin’s absorption is at its highest.
SkinPen is commonly used to address acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores and general skin texture. It is a versatile option often chosen because it can be adjusted to suit different skin types and concerns, including deeper skin tones where some resurfacing options carry more risk.
Dr Sateei will assess your skin during consultation to determine the appropriate depth of treatment and any complementary serums that may support your results.
Topical numbing is applied before treatment to improve comfort, and most patients describe a mild scratching sensation during the procedure. Some redness and mild swelling is common for a day or two following treatment, similar in appearance to mild sunburn.
A course of sessions is typically recommended, spaced several weeks apart, with improvements in texture and scarring building progressively as the skin remodels over the following months.
Dr Sateei selects SkinPen for patients where its precision and adjustable depth genuinely suit their skin concerns, drawing on her more than twenty years of experience in dermatology to judge the appropriate settings for your skin type. Her focus remains on a considered, proportionate improvement.
Every course of treatment is tailored to your specific concerns following a thorough skin consultation, at both her London clinic near Harley Street and her Sevenoaks clinic in Kent.
