Advanced SkinPen Microneedling

Why SkinPen® Microneedling Works

At Ethereal Aesthetics, we use SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, to safely and effectively rejuvenate your skin. This treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to smooth texture, soften fine lines, reduce acne scars, and restore a healthy, radiant glow.
  • Clinically proven to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, often with noticeable results after just one treatment.
  • Creates precise micro-injuries to trigger your skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.
  • Works with your body’s natural processes to restore skin health from within - 100% natural, with no heat, chemicals, or toxins.
  • Safe and effective for all skin tones, with minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Customisable treatment depth for targeted results.

How the Treatment Works

  1. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities.
  2. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
  3. The SkinPen device creates thousands of tiny, precise micro-channels in the skin.
  4. These micro-channels trigger your body’s healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production.
  5. This process boosts cell turnover, improves texture, and evens out skin tone.
  6. The micro-channels allow serums and active ingredients to penetrate more deeply for maximum benefit.
  7. Over time, your skin appears smoother, firmer, and more radiant — naturally.

What to Expect Post-Treatment

  1. Immediately After: Skin may feel warm, tight, or appear slightly flushed (similar to a mild sunburn) for 24–48 hours.
  2. First Few Days: Many clients notice a subtle glow as the skin begins its natural renewal process. Your skin will also be more receptive to nourishing serums and active skincare during this time.
  3. Within the First Week: Some clients experience light peeling as dead skin cells shed, revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath.
  4. Over the Following Weeks: Collagen and elastin production increases, leading to smoother texture, softer fine lines, and a more even skin tone.
  5. For best results: We recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

Aftercare Recommendations

  • Keep hands away from your face to prevent introducing bacteria.
  • Skip Makeup for 24 Hours - Allow your skin to breathe and recover.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours and wear SPF daily.
  • Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, acids, and alcohol-based products for 3–5 days.
  • Skip the gym, saunas, and hot yoga for 24 hours to prevent irritation.
  • Apply any recommended post-treatment serums to enhance results.

Microneedling FAQ's

What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It creates thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and overall skin health.
What skin concerns does it treat?
SkinPen can help with:
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne Scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone or texture
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Loss of firmness
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as mild or tolerable.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice a fresh glow within a few days. Full results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases.
Can SkinPen be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with regenerative treatments like PRP/PRF or targeted serums for enhanced results. We’ll recommend the best combination for your skin goals during your consultation.
How does it work?
The device uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body’s healing response, boosting collagen and elastin — the proteins that keep your skin smooth, firm, and youthful.
Is it safe?
Yes. SkinPen® is FDA-cleared, clinically proven, and safe for all skin tones. It does not use heat, chemicals, or toxins, making it a 100% natural approach to skin rejuvenation.
What is the downtime?
You may experience mild redness, warmth, or tightness — similar to a light sunburn — for 24–48 hours. Some clients also have light flaking or peeling within the first week.
How many treatments will I need?
For best results, we recommend a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
How do I prepare for the treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, active skincare (retinol, acids), and any blood-thinning medications for a few days before your session. We’ll provide full pre-treatment instructions in advance.
