SkinPen Microneedling: The Gold Standard for Skin Renewal

When It Comes To Rejuvenating Your Skin And Restoring That Smooth, Luminous Texture, Few Treatments Are As Effective As SkinPen Microneedling.

It’s one of our most loved procedures at Clio Skin & Body, and for good reason. This clinically proven collagen-induction treatment works with your skins natural healing process to reveal fresher, firmer, and more radiant skin at any age.

What Makes A High Quality Microneedling Pen Different?

Not all microneedling devices are created equal. The SkinPen is a FDA-cleared medical grade device, engineered for precision, safety and consistency.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Sterile, single use needle cartridges – ensuring maximum hygiene with no risk of cross-contamination.
Adjustable needle depth – allows for precise customisation depending on the skins needs (from superficial glow treatments to deeper collagen stimulation).
Smooth, controlled motor – delivers consistent microchannels without dragging or tearing the skin (a common issue with copycat pens).
Proven clinical results – SkinPen has published studies showing significant improvements in fine lines, texture and acne scarring.

Choosing a high quality device means better results, less trauma and a faster recovery time for your skin.

Downtime: What To Expect

After treatment, you’ll look a little pink – like a mild sunburn for around 24 to 48 hours.

Some clients experience light flaking or dryness for a few days as new skin cells regenerate. Makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours and by day three most redness has completely settled.

It’s a minimal downtime treatment that delivers long term collagen stimulation – perfect for those with busy schedules.

The Benefits Of SkinPen Microneedling:

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin

  • Refines pores and texture

  • Softens fine lines and wrinkles

  • Improves the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation

  • Boosts overall luminosity and skin health

It’s an intelligent, performance based treatment that strengthens the skins architecture from within.

Your skin’s natural rebuild – no filters needed.

Suitable For All Ages And Skin Types

Whether you’re in your 20s looking to boost glow and prevent early signs of ageing, or in your 50s wanting to firm and revitalise your skin – SkinPen delivers results at every age.

Because it’s minimally invasive and customisable in depth, it’s safe for nearly all skin tones and concerns, from early prevention to corrective work.

Add-Ons That Elevate Your Results

At Clio Skin & Body, we take results a step further bt pairing SkinPen with advanced regenerative therapies.

During microneedling, thousands of precise micro-injuries are created in the skin. These channels leave your skin perfectly primed to absorb active ingredients at a dermal level, allowing advanced formulations to work deeper – where true collagen and cell renewal occur.

Calecim® – a powerful stem-cell derived serum rich in growth factors. It accelerates healing, reduces redness and enhances collagen renewal, making your recovery faster and your glow stronger.

BioRePeel – a no downtime peel that can be combined in a series for enhanced resurfacing, improving texture, tone and hydration alongside microneedling.

Laser Genesis – a gentle, non invasive laser treatment that works so well alongside microneedling to boost collagen, clam redness, refine texture and pigmentation. When performed as part of a course, it enhances tone and elasticity for a smoother, more even complexion.

These treatments can also be strategically stacked – for example, one treatment could contain micro needling, Laser Genesis, Calecim & BioRePeel – performed in a sequence or series – to amplify results, targeting multiple layers of the skin for a complete rejuvenation approach.

Stacking treatments like SkinPen, Laser Genesis, and Calecim harnesses the skin’s natural healing rhythm- building collagen, strength, and luminosity from the inside out.

These targeted add-ons work synergistically to amplify the transformation process and maximise long-term skin health.

Does It Hurt?

Surprisingly, not much! It definitely looks worse than it is. Before the treatment, we apply a medical-grade numbing cream to keep you comfortable.

Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or vibration rather than pain. Afterward, skin may feel warm or tight, but this quickly subsides.

The best part? You’re left with a fresh, radiant glow – and collagen that keeps building for weeks to come.

“Looks intense, feels mild, delivers major results.”

In Summary

SkinPen micro needling is more than a treatment – it’s a regenerative experience for your skin.

With minimal downtime, clinically proven results, and custom options like Calecim, BioRePeel, or Laser Genesis, it’s one of the most effective ways to build long-term skin resilience and radiance.

At Clio Skin & Body, every micro needling treatment is fully tailored- because no two skins are the same, and neither are their journeys to renewal.
