FDA-approved SkinPen microneedling in Newtownabbey to stimulate collagen and support smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin.
FDA-approved collagen induction therapy
At The Aesthetics Guy NI, I offer microneedling treatments using the FDA-approved SkinPen device, a leading choice for safety and effectiveness in collagen induction therapy.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny punctures on the skin’s surface using a handheld device. This process, also known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates your body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful-looking.
Benefits of microneedling
- Improves skin texture: Smooths uneven skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduces acne scars: Minimises the depth and visibility of acne scars, promoting smoother skin.
- Brightens complexion: Helps fade hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
- Minimises pore size: Improves the appearance of large pores for a refined look.
- Enhances firmness and elasticity: Stimulates collagen and elastin for tighter, plumper skin.
- Addresses stretch marks: Can improve the appearance of stretch marks on the body.
- Improves product absorption: Boosts the effectiveness of topical skincare products by enhancing their penetration.
- Minimal downtime: Experience only mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days.
- Safe and precise: Using SkinPen, I ensure the highest safety standards and precision for optimal results.
What areas can be treated?
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body to address a range of concerns.
Frequently Asked
Your Microneedling Questions Answered
Does microneedling hurt?
A numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or scratching rather than pain.
How many sessions will I need?
Most treatment plans involve a course of 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, though this depends on what you're treating and how your skin responds.
What's the downtime?
Expect redness similar to mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Most clients are comfortable returning to normal activities the next day, with make-up usually fine after 24 hours.
Can microneedling treat acne scarring?
Yes, it's one of the most effective non-surgical options for acne scarring, working by triggering the skin's own collagen remodelling process over a course of treatments.
How much does SkinPen microneedling cost?
SkinPen Microneedling is £170 for a single session, or £450 for a course of three — the option most clients choose for the best results.
