What Makes It Different
Microneedling is one of the most trusted and well-researched treatments in aesthetic medicine. At Skiin we use SkinPen — an FDA-cleared medical-grade device — to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These microscopic injuries trigger your body's natural collagen and elastin production, the same process that heals a scrape but channelled precisely for skin improvement.
The redness and pinpoint bleeding you may notice during treatment are completely intentional — these are known as clinical endpoints, a sign we've reached the optimal depth to activate true regeneration, flooding the skin with oxygen and nutrients that accelerate repair. Over a course of treatments, fine lines soften, pores refine, acne scarring flattens and overall texture becomes smoother and more luminous. Because the result is your own collagen — not a filler or laser resurfacing — the change looks entirely natural and continues to improve for months after treatment.
Microneedling also has a famous variation we offer alongside it: the Vampire Facial — standard microneedling combined with the topical application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood, absorbed through the freshly created micro-channels to accelerate healing and glow. It pairs powerfully with skin boosters for hydration or LaseMD for pigmentation — together they form a complete skin-quality programme.
The Result
Microneedling triggers your skin's own repair. The change builds gradually and reads as healthy, not treated.

Day 1–2
Settle
Redness like a mild sunburn fades within 24–48 hours. Mineral SPF supports healthy renewal.
Month 1–3
Sessions build
A course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Collagen production is underway and texture refines.
Month 3–6
Full result
Scars flatten and skin looks smoother and more luminous. Maintain with a session every 6–12 months.

Combine microneedling with skin boosters for hydration or RF microneedling for deeper tightening and remodelling.
FAQs
The vampire facial is microneedling taken one step further: after the SkinPen creates thousands of micro-channels, a small amount of your own blood is drawn, spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and then worked into the skin through those channels. The growth factors in your plasma supercharge the collagen renewal microneedling already triggers — a favourite for glow, texture and scarring. It's offered at Skiin from £314 per session — read more on our dedicated Vampire Facial in Manchester page.
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — uses a medical-grade device (SkinPen at Skiin) to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This triggers your body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother texture, refined pores, softened fine lines and a more even tone over a series of treatments.
For general skin rejuvenation, 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are typically recommended. Acne scarring or deeper texture concerns may require 4–6 sessions. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain results.
Microneedling at Skiin is priced per session or as a course. Cost depends on the areas treated and whether it's combined with active serums or topical anaesthetic. All pricing is discussed transparently during your consultation.
Yes. Standard microneedling (SkinPen) uses fine mechanical needles to resurface the upper-to-mid dermis — ideal for texture, pores, fine lines and superficial scarring. RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy through insulated needles deep into the dermis, adding skin tightening and remodelling — better for laxity and deeper scarring. Your doctor recommends the right option.
A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment, making microneedling very tolerable — most patients describe a mild prickling sensation. Treatment takes 20–30 minutes depending on the area.
Microneedling suits anyone noticing fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, mild acne scarring or a general loss of skin smoothness. It's suitable for most skin types and is an excellent foundation treatment for overall skin quality.
