    What does the treatment do?

    During SkinPen® treatment, the device creates many controlled, tiny micro-injuries on the skin. These injuries help to kick-start the body’s natural repair process, providing a boost to collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is produced by the body to heal the skin and keep it looking taut, smooth, and youthful. As we age, our skin becomes less capable of producing collagen, contributing to the effects of ageing. When scarring occurs, this is a result of irregular collagen formations during the healing process. By creating micro-injuries, and generating more collagen within the skin, both ageing and scarring concerns can be treated with SkinPen®.

    SkinPen® takes a three-phase approach to rejuvenating the skin. The first phase, known as the inflammation stage, is the treatment itself, involving piercing the skin to trigger collagen production. During this stage, wounds are disinfected, any debris or dirt build up on the skin is removed, and new tissue is created.

    Second phase

    The second phase, or the proliferation stage, occurs when the wound is rebuilt using new cells, and a new network of blood vessels develop. Finally, phase three, or the remodelling stage, takes place, and the wound is replaced with new, healthy tissue.

    Prior to all SkinPen® treatments, it is important to attend an in-depth consultation with Dr Hiba Injibar, Dermasurge’s founder and experienced consultant dermatologist. Dr Injibar will thoroughly assess the skin and formulate a bespoke treatment plan for the best possible results.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many Treatments will I need?

    How many treatments that are necessary will depend on your unique skin concerns. With SkinPen®, most patients can expect to see an improvement in just three treatments, spaced 30 days apart. During your consultation, Dr Injibar will be able to provide you with a more precise treatment plan.

    How Soon will I see results?

    Microneedling stimulates the production of Collagen within the skin. As collagen reserves need time to rebuild and repair in the skin, patients should expect to see results six months after their final treatment.

    Am I suitable for SkinPen®?

    SkinPen® is suitable for all skin types, however, there are some contraindications. During your consultation, Dr Injibar will assess your medical history to ensure that SkinPen® is safe for you, and able to achieve the desired results.

    What is the downtime?

    There is no downtime associated with SkinPen® treatment. As long as Dr Injibar’s aftercare advice is followed, patients can return to their usual routines without delay and still experience outstanding results. The skin may appear pink or red for 2 to 3 days immediately after treatment, though this is most like a mild sunburn, and should subside fairly swiftly. Dryness, tightness, itching, and inflammation are also common side effects that should resolve themselves over time.

    Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

    Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

    Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

    We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

    I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

    I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

    My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

    Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

    The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
