SkinPen microneedling is a medical-grade collagen induction treatment that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin.
At L’Atelier Aesthetics, SkinPen microneedling is one of our most requested skin rejuvenation treatments. Patients often search for “microneedling clinic near me”, “SkinPen for acne scars”, or “microneedling cost in London” when they are ready to improve skin texture, reduce scars and restore glow — and this is exactly where medical expertise matters.
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production safely and effectively. Our approach is consultation-led, personalised and always focused on natural-looking, healthy results.
SkinPen microneedling is a medical-grade collagen induction treatment that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin. These tiny channels stimulate your body’s natural repair response, increasing collagen and elastin production over time.
Patients commonly search:
“What is SkinPen microneedling?”
“How does SkinPen work?”
“Is SkinPen better than dermaroller?”
Unlike at-home dermarollers, SkinPen is a regulated, precision-controlled device used in a clinical environment. Depth is adjusted according to your skin type and concern, making it safer and significantly more effective.

Many patients describe the sensation as mild vibration or light scratching. One of the most searched questions is: “Does SkinPen microneedling hurt?” With topical anaesthetic, discomfort is minimal and well tolerated.
SkinPen microneedling is performed with topical anaesthetic cream, making the treatment comfortable. Most patients describe mild vibration or light scratching rather than pain.
SkinPen microneedling usually causes redness similar to mild sunburn for 24–72 hours. Some patients may experience light flaking.
For general skin rejuvenation, 3 sessions are typical. For acne scars, 4–6 SkinPen microneedling treatments may be recommended.
Yes. SkinPen microneedling is suitable for most skin types when performed in a clinical setting following proper assessment.
SkinPen microneedling is particularly effective for atrophic acne scars by stimulating collagen and improving skin texture over time.
Initial glow may appear within 7–10 days, but full SkinPen microneedling results develop gradually over several weeks.
SkinPen microneedling stimulates collagen mechanically, while RF microneedling adds radiofrequency heat energy for deeper tightening.
The cost of SkinPen microneedling depends on the treatment area and number of sessions required. A personalised quote is provided during consultation.
SkinPen microneedling is more precise, safer and more effective than at-home dermarollers due to controlled depth and sterile technique.
After SkinPen microneedling, avoid active skincare ingredients, heavy exercise and direct sun exposure for several days.
At L’Atelier Aesthetics, microneedling treatments can be complemented with advanced exosome therapy to further support skin regeneration and recovery. When applied immediately following SkinPen or RF microneedling, medical-grade exosomes work alongside the skin’s natural repair response, helping to improve texture, resilience and overall skin quality — without adding volume or altering facial features.
This regenerative approach reflects our consultation-led, skin-first philosophy and may be recommended for patients looking to optimise results or support enhanced post-treatment recovery. To learn more about this advanced option, explore our dedicated page.

SkinPen is significantly safer and more effective than at home microneedling devices because it is a medical grade, precision controlled treatment performed by trained professionals. The depth of penetration is carefully adjusted to target specific concerns while maintaining strict hygiene standards, reducing the risk of infection, scarring or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At home rollers cannot reach the same controlled depth or deliver consistent results, meaning collagen stimulation is limited and outcomes are often unpredictable. For patients seeking real improvement in acne scarring, fine lines or skin texture, professional SkinPen treatment delivers clinically proven, reliable results. Read more
