Overview …
SkinPen®, also known as collagen induction therapy, is designed to improve the quality and resilience of the skin. It works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries within the skin using fine, medical-grade needles. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer, smoother and more even in tone and texture. This makes SkinPen® particularly effective for addressing concerns linked to ageing and skin damage, including fine lines, uneven texture and areas of scarring.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, SkinPen® works with the skin’s natural regenerative processes without causing significant disruption. It is therefore well suited to those looking for visible improvement with a controlled and clinically guided approach.

SkinPen® at Mirabel
At Mirabel Clinic, SkinPen® is used as a clinically controlled microneedling treatment to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and improve overall skin quality.
The device creates thousands of precise microchannels in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production without damaging the surface layer. Treatment depth and intensity are adjusted according to the area and concern being treated, allowing a tailored approach for each patient.
A course of treatments is typically recommended, particularly for concerns such as scarring or more established skin changes.
What concerns can SkinPen® treat?
SkinPen® is used for a range of concerns related to skin texture, tone and structural quality.
This includes:
• Acne scarring and certain other superficial scars
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Stretch marks
• General loss of skin firmness and resilience
It is often selected where the aim is to improve the overall condition of the skin through collagen stimulation.
What does the treatment feel like?
A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment to ensure comfort.
During the procedure, patients typically experience a vibrating or scratching sensation as the device moves across the skin. The treatment is generally well tolerated, with intensity varying depending on the depth required.
After treatment, the skin usually appears red and may feel warm, similar to moderate sun exposure. This typically settles within a few days, although some sensitivity may persist slightly longer.
What results can be expected?
Results develop gradually as the skin repairs and collagen production increases.
Initial improvements may be seen in skin texture and tone, with further enhancement over a course of treatments. Scarring and more established concerns will usually require multiple sessions to achieve the best outcome.
The result is smoother, firmer and more even-looking skin, with improvements that continue over time as the skin remodels.
