What is the SkinPen® in microneedling?

The SkinPen® is the first – and to date the only – microneedling device and microneedling procedure approved by the FDA (the US authority responsible for, among other things, the approval of medical devices), and it is the world's leading medical device for skin remodelling. In the United States, the SkinPen is also known as "The blue one".

The SkinPen® needling treatment activates the skin's natural self-healing powers. The skin's collagen production is stimulated and its elastin content increased. This restores firmness and elasticity to your skin; scars are smoothed, pores refined, and pigmentation irregularities improved.

Microneedling – effects and information

Microneedling with radiofrequency

Microneedling with radiofrequency is an innovative treatment method that enhances the efficacy of microneedling by integrating radiofrequency technology. Whereas conventional microneedling stimulates the skin with tiny needles to promote collagen production and improve skin texture, our microneedling with radiofrequency additionally harnesses the thermal energy of radiofrequency to reach deeper skin layers. This results in enhanced collagen production and firmer skin. This microneedling treatment is effective in reducing wrinkles, tightens the skin and additionally improves the appearance of scars. Microneedling with radiofrequency therefore offers an advanced solution for skin rejuvenation and is particularly well suited to reducing fine lines, lax skin and skin irregularities.

Microneedling treatment

Our microneedling in Düsseldorf is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment aimed at improving skin texture and addressing a variety of skin concerns. The treatment uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, stimulating the skin's natural regeneration and collagen production. Through this stimulation, various skin concerns such as scars, wrinkles, pigmentation disorders and stretch marks can be reduced. Microneedling is an effective treatment for those seeking an improved skin texture and a more radiant complexion. The microneedling treatment can be performed directly at our plastic and aesthetic surgery practice in Düsseldorf and requires no recovery time. Only mild redness and slight swelling may occur for a few hours.

Microneedling for the face

Facial microneedling is a targeted treatment method to improve and rejuvenate the skin of the face. Microscopically small controlled injuries are created in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. Microneedling addresses fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation irregularities on the face, while simultaneously refining skin texture. Facial microneedling is a popular option when injections or a
face lift
are not desired.

Microneedling for stretch marks

Microneedling for stretch marks is a promising treatment option to diminish their appearance. This method stimulates the skin's natural regeneration and collagen production, allowing stretch marks to fade sustainably. Through this stimulation, skin texture can also be improved. Our microneedling is a non-invasive and effective solution for stretch marks of all kinds and on a wide variety of body areas, offering an ideal alternative to invasive procedures. It is suitable for various skin types.

Microneedling for cellulite

Approximately 80% of women are affected by cellulite, a common skin condition that manifests as dimpling of the skin. Cellulite occurs particularly on the thighs, upper arms, buttocks and abdomen. Microneedling is a promising treatment option for reducing cellulite. This non-invasive method stimulates natural collagen production and improves skin texture in the long term. By stimulating the tissue, it helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite by making the skin firmer and smoother. Over time, the dimples can decrease and the skin appears more even. It is a gentle treatment method that requires no extended downtime and is suitable for both men and women.

Microneedling for
dark circles

Microneedling is a promising treatment option for
dark circles under the eyes
. Through needle stimulation, the appearance of dark circles can be reduced and skin texture improved. Microneedling for
dark circles
is a non-invasive and effective solution to firm and brighten the eye area. Microneedling can also be used in combination with other treatment methods for optimal results.

Microneedling for acne scars

Microneedling has proved particularly promising in the treatment of acne scars. Acne scars are permanent skin changes that can result from inflammatory acne and are often visible as indentations or irregularities in the skin. Microneedling works in several ways to treat acne scars:

1. Collagen stimulation: By using fine needles, microneedling creates microscopically small injuries in the skin. This triggers a natural healing process in which new collagen is produced. The newly formed collagen helps to improve the skin's structure and fill in the indentations caused by acne scars.

2. Skin renewal: Microneedling also promotes cell renewal of the skin. By stimulating the upper skin layer, dead skin cells are removed, resulting in a smoother and more even skin texture. This can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate the skin overall.

3. Improved absorption of active ingredients: During the microneedling process, skincare active ingredients such as
hyaluronic acid
or vitamin C can penetrate the skin more effectively. This allows these active ingredients to reach the area of the acne scars directly and exert their repairing and brightening effect there.

4. Minimal risk and short downtime: Compared to some other aesthetic treatment methods for acne scars, microneedling is gentle and generally involves no downtime. Following the treatment, the skin may be temporarily reddened, but most people can resume their daily activities immediately.

Microneedling for wrinkles

This technique uses tiny, delicate needles to renew and regenerate skin cells, thereby addressing skin concerns such as wrinkles. By penetrating deeper layers of the skin, professionally performed microneedling can successfully treat wrinkles and is also effective for pigmentation disorders and other skin concerns. As a minimally invasive procedure in aesthetic dermatology and cosmetics, microneedling is a popular choice for improving the complexion. It is nonetheless advisable to ensure that high-quality products are used. For this reason, we use only original devices.

Microneedling works through the application of our SkinPen, which uses needles with high precision and performance. These needles typically penetrate 0.1 to two millimetres deep into the skin and stimulate the epidermis, the outermost skin layer, to regenerate. This process triggers the release of messenger substances and growth factors that stimulate natural wound healing and increase the production of
hyaluronic acid
, elastin and collagen.

The SkinPen is an innovative device offering the highest level of precision. As the first FDA-approved microneedling device on the market, the SkinPen can create up to 98,000 microchannels per minute and allows flexible adjustment of needle depth from 0.25 to 2.5 mm. This makes it highly effective in treating wrinkles, scars and even melasma.

The treatment duration is approximately 30 minutes, with a topical anaesthetic applied beforehand to minimise discomfort. Healing time varies, but mild swelling and redness are normal and can be quickly soothed with our dermatological skincare range. A minimum of three treatments at intervals of approximately four weeks is recommended to achieve optimal results.

UV exposure and intensive physical activity should be avoided for the next 72 hours so as not to disrupt the healing process. Our wrinkle microneedling with the SkinPen offers an effective solution and prevention – with rapid results.

Microneedling for pigmentation spots

The treatment of pigmentation spots is of great importance, as they represent a widespread skin concern affecting both men and women. Pigmentation spots can appear in various colours and are often classified as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Regardless of their colour, they can be perceived as an aesthetic concern and tend to appear on areas frequently exposed to sunlight. These include, among others:

Face
Neck
Décolletage
Shoulders
Backs of the hands
Arms

The causes of pigmentation spots are varied, but they are often triggered by overstimulation of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin colour. This overstimulation can be promoted by prolonged UV exposure or genetic predisposition. To prevent pigmentation spots, consistent sun protection is essential to shield the skin from UV damage.

Microneedling is an effective method for treating pigmentation spots while simultaneously improving skin texture. This technique uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin and stimulate the skin's natural regeneration processes. Through the formation of new collagen and the stimulation of cell renewal, pigmentation spots can be reduced and the complexion rejuvenated.

The length of the needles used in microneedling is crucial in achieving the desired results. To treat pigmentation spots effectively, the needles must reach a depth of at least 0.5 millimetres in order to stimulate the dermis, where skin cell regeneration takes place. In addition to microneedling, there are further treatment options for pigmentation spots, such as our HydraFacial™ treatment. Each method has its own advantages and can be tailored to the individual skin condition and needs of the patient. We also offer you a complimentary skin analysis to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

Frequently asked questions

What costs should you expect for microneedling?

The cost of cosmetic microneedling can vary depending on the location, the facility or the specialist performing the treatment. The number of sessions required to achieve the desired result can also influence the overall cost. At our practice, we offer medical microneedling from €200. In combination with autologous blood therapy (PRP), this costs €250.

Who is suitable for SkinPen® microneedling?

When should pen microneedling not be used?

Microneedling is a conservative and minimally invasive treatment. It is generally safe for women and men with a variety of skin types. However, SkinPen microneedling is not recommended if you have an active acne breakout or flare-up, or a chronic skin condition. If you are prone to keloid scars or abnormal scar formation, you should raise this before the microneedling treatment. Microneedling is not advisable during pregnancy.

What are the side effects of the microneedling treatment?

The side effects of the SkinPen® microneedling treatment are mild and typically resolve within a few days. Most patients experience a reaction that looks and feels like mild sunburn. Redness, swelling, irritation, dryness and possibly bruising may also occur. These side effects show a marked improvement within the first 48 hours following the microneedling treatment.

How long do the results of microneedling last?

How long the results of a microneedling treatment with the SkinPen® last depends on the areas treated and how your body responds. Scar treatment with the SkinPen should deliver a lasting result. For fine lines, crepe-like wrinkles and concerns related to skin tone and texture, additional follow-up treatments are likely to be required.

How does microneedling work?

The fine needles stimulate specific receptors in the skin, prompting the increased release of growth factors. These stimulate the new production of collagen and elastic fibres as well as hyaluronic acid. Following treatment, the skin is therefore far more receptive to subsequent skincare products that can additionally stimulate collagen formation and support the microneedling effect. We therefore optionally offer a Sculptra treatment following the SkinPen microneedling treatment in order to optimally promote the skin's self-healing powers and new collagen formation. This dual-booster treatment optimally smooths the skin, refines the complexion and minimises cheek lines, nasolabial folds and crepe-like wrinkles.

How often can microneedling be performed?

Microneedling can be repeated as often as desired. Compared to other anti-ageing treatments for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening, such as laser or dermabrasion, microneedling can be performed at any time of year.

When does microneedling make sense?

Microneedling has proved highly effective for: – wrinkles and furrows on the face – general signs of skin ageing, tired, lax connective tissue – acne scars, burn scars, surgical scars, other scars – striae, pregnancy marks, stretch marks – pigmentation disorders, melasma, hyperpigmentation – scalp concerns, trichodynia, hair loss. The face, neck, décolletage, hair and scalp are the preferred treatment areas. However, stretch marks on the thighs, buttocks or chest can also be treated very effectively with SkinPen® microneedling.

What are the costs of medical microneedling?

The cost of microneedling depends on various factors. The key cost determinants are the area of application of the needling treatment – for example, acne treatment, wrinkle treatment or treatment of stretch marks – and the number of microneedling sessions required to achieve the desired effect. We would be happy to prepare an individual cost plan for your microneedling treatment with the SkinPen® needling roller following a personal consultation at our private practice in Düsseldorf.

What can be done about acne scars?

There are various approaches to treating acne scars, which may vary depending on the type and severity of the scars. Pen microneedling uses small needles to stimulate the skin and promote the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to an improvement and plumping of the acne scars.
