“Mina is extremely thorough, never ever overdone and never tells you to do more than you need or want. Really really good at her job.”
SkinPen Precision uses collagen induction therapy: precise micro-channels at a controlled depth that kick-start your skin's own repair process, without heat or harsh chemicals.
As we age, the collagen and elastin fibres that give skin its structure start to break down. That is what produces sagging, fine lines, enlarged pores and skin that no longer bounces back. Microneedling reverses part of that by prompting the release of natural growth factors that rebuild collagen and remodel tissue, restoring firmness, tone and smoothness without causing scarring.
The repair happens in three stages. First inflammation, where the micro-injuries trigger your immune system to clear damaged cells and release growth factors. Then proliferation, where the skin builds new tissue using collagen III, glycoproteins and new blood vessels. Finally remodelling, where collagen III is replaced by collagen I, the firm, springy kind that makes skin look younger and healthier.
Because it works with your own healing response rather than against your skin barrier, microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones. At Dermamina every course starts with a skin assessment, and depth, passes and any add-on are matched to your skin rather than run from a preset.

Both put needles into skin. Almost nothing else about them is the same.
| Aspect | SkinPen Precision | Dermaroller and other devices |
|---|---|---|
| Regulation | FDA-cleared and medically licensed. | Not FDA-cleared, not medically licensed. |
| Licensed to treat | Acne scarring, hyperpigmentation including melasma, vitiligo and sun spots, fine lines and wrinkles. | Not approved for treating the skin conditions commonly claimed. |
| Speed and coverage | Over 1,600 microchannels per second. | Needs around 15 passes over the same area for a comparable effect. |
| Depth control | Controlled, consistent depth for even results. | Manual pressure means uneven penetration. |
| Needle entry | 90 degree vertical entry with a sharp needle, and a smooth glide that reduces damage. | Rolling entry can cause micro-tears, streaking and scarring. |
| Hygiene | Single-use sterile needles every time. | Often reused, so bacterial risk remains. |
| Consistency | Stays sharp for up to 80 minutes of use. | Blunts quickly, which inflames the skin. |
Microneedling opens thousands of micro-channels, and for a short window those channels let anything applied afterwards absorb far deeper than it otherwise could. That is why we so often pair it. With PRP, a small blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate your own platelets and growth factors, which are then applied straight into those channels.
The combination does more than either step alone: faster recovery, because PRP delivers the growth factors that drive natural repair, and better long-term improvement in texture and tone. Exosomes work on the same principle with a higher, more consistent concentration of growth factors. Which one suits you is a conversation at your consultation, not a package decision.
Book nowWe assess your skin properly first: your concerns, skin type and tone, history and anything you are already using at home. From that we agree a course and tell you honestly what microneedling will and will not fix.
The skin is cleansed thoroughly and numbing cream is applied so you are comfortable throughout. This is also when depth and passes are confirmed for your skin on the day.
The SkinPen device creates precise micro-channels across the treatment area, stimulating collagen and your natural healing response. If you have added PRP, exosomes or mesotherapy, it goes on immediately afterwards while absorption is at its highest.
Expect an immediate glow, with skin looking pink or sun-kissed for anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Most redness and light flaking settles by the second day. After 24 hours you can wear makeup and SPF again, and you leave with written aftercare and product recommendations.
Microneedling suits nearly everyone looking to improve texture, tone and radiance without harsh lasers or chemicals. It is safe for all skin types and tones.
It is not right for everyone. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or active severe acne in the area, a history of keloid scarring, or you are currently on isotretinoin, we will ask you to wait or suggest something else. We also advise waiting six to eight weeks after giving birth or stopping breastfeeding.
Courses of six are 10% off the single-session price. Final pricing is confirmed at your free consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
Every treatment is carried out in our Save Face accredited clinic on New Cavendish Street, five minutes from Oxford Street, by a medically qualified team.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure in which tiny sterile needles form micro-channels in the skin. This enhances the body's natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production, improving texture and reducing the visibility of scars, wrinkles and other skin flaws.
Most sessions run 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Discomfort is minimal. Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area beforehand, and most people find the treatment very manageable.
At Dermamina, SkinPen microneedling starts at £250 for one area. Two areas are £350 and three areas £450. A course of six is discounted by 10%, bringing one area to £225 per session. Add-ons start at £80.
Minimal. Skin may look pink or sun-kissed for anywhere between 30 minutes and 24 hours depending on your sensitivity. Most redness and light flaking settles by the second day.
Yes, microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones. Your practitioner will still assess your skin and medical history to confirm it is the right treatment for you.
The most common are redness, mild swelling and sensitivity in the treated area, which usually settle within a few days. More serious effects such as infection or scarring are extremely rare and are minimised by choosing a qualified, experienced practitioner.
Yes, and it often is. It pairs particularly well with PRP, exosomes, mesotherapy and chemical peels, because the micro-channels dramatically increase how much your skin absorbs.
Results can last from several months to a year or more. Maintenance sessions keep them going.
Wait at least 24 hours after your treatment before applying makeup or sunscreen.
Yes. Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids for several days before and after treatment. You will be given specific guidance at your appointment.
Yes. It can be used on the neck, chest, hands and back as well as the face.
Usually yes. Microneedling can be both safe and effective for sensitive skin, but your practitioner will assess your skin and medical history first.
We advise waiting at least six to eight weeks after giving birth or stopping breastfeeding. Your practitioner will give precise guidance based on your skin.
