Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy.
Microneedling may help with issues like:
-
Acne
-
Hair loss (also called alopecia)
-
Dark spots or patches on your skin (hyperpigmentation)
-
Large pores
-
Reduced skin elasticity
-
Scars
-
Stretch marks
-
Sun damage
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
Microneedling is less expensive than laser treatments, which can cost about four times as much. Microneedling may work better for people with darker skin tones because it doesn’t involve heat the way laser treatments do, which can affect your skin’s pigmentation, or color. Ask your dermatologist what’s best for your skin -- and your budget.

Microneedling Benefits
Dermapen
​
The Dermapen is a small microneedling tool which is used for very precise treatment of skin problems.
The Dermapen device contains a number of tiny ‘micro needles’ which penetrate the skin’s outer layers. This stimulates the skin’s own healing and rejuvenation processes and also allows serums or products to access deeper layers of the skin than would normally be achieved.
Dermapen is a small and precise microneedling device, but can achieve the best results through targeting specific problem areas, like around the eyes, specific lines, scarring, acne scarring. It has become a very successful treatment option for rejuvenating the skin, acne scarring and multiple other indications. Dermapen treatment can be used on its own or alongside other treatments.
This treatment is available at Clinicbe in Knightsbridge, London.
