Microneedling in Seaford, East Sussex SkinPen Precision microneedling in Seaford

If you're serious about the quality of your skin, SkinPen is the treatment I believe in most. Fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture. Results that develop over weeks, not an overnight fix.

What it is

What is SkinPen?

SkinPen Precision is a professional microneedling device. It creates thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Those trigger your body's own healing response, which means new collagen and elastin.

The aim isn't to make the surface look better for a week. We're asking the skin to do some work. Over the weeks after treatment, that renewal carries on.

Not all microneedling is the same.

You'll see microneedling offered at very different prices on very different devices. When someone is deliberately making channels in your skin, the device shouldn't be an afterthought.

When someone is making channels in your skin, the device shouldn't be an afterthought.

  • The first microneedling device cleared by the US FDA. US clearance, not a UK approval, but a serious bar to pass.
  • Clinically studied, including assessment by blinded dermatologists.
  • 90% of trial subjects said they'd recommend it to friends and family.
  • Sterile, single-use cartridges and a design that stops fluid getting into the device.

There are plenty of devices that can make channels in skin. I wanted one with the safety, evidence and reputation to match the treatment I want to give. So when you book microneedling with me, it's SkinPen.

Does microneedling hurt?

Most clients find it comfortable rather than painful. A numbing cream goes on first, and I check in with you the whole way through. You'll feel it, and some areas feel different to others, but it's nowhere near as daunting as people expect.

In fact, I've never had a client tell me they found SkinPen uncomfortable. I have clients who enjoy having it done.

Your SkinPen journey

From your first appointment to the two-week WOW.

SkinPen isn't an overnight fix. Your skin needs time to go through its renewal process, so the results develop after you've left. Here's what happens, and when.

The results develop after you've left. Here's what happens, and when.

  1. Your appointment

    We check, prep and numb

    We check your skin first and make sure SkinPen is right for you. Your skin is prepped and numbing cream goes on. Then I work methodically across the area at carefully chosen depths, checking in as I go.

    Afterwards we go through your aftercare and you take home the products you need for the first few days.

  2. The first 24 hours

    What you’ll look like afterwards

    Straight after, your skin will be red. That settles through pink to a flushed look, usually within 24 hours. By the next day most clients look a bit flushed and get on with their day. Occasionally redness lasts longer, but it's not common.

    • No makeup for at least 24 hours
    • Only the aftercare products you took home
    • No gym, sauna, swimming or hot baths for 24 to 48 hours

  3. The first week

    Aftercare for the first week

    No retinol, acids, vitamin C or scrubs until I say. SPF every day, and avoid direct sun for the first week. I'll tell you exactly what to use and when.

  4. Around two weeks

    The two-week WOW

    There's a point I see again and again. I call it the two-week WOW. That moment when you've almost forgotten you had SkinPen and suddenly think: my skin looks incredible.

    It doesn't stop there either. SkinPen stimulates processes in the skin that carry on well beyond that first glow.

    You've almost forgotten you had SkinPen, and suddenly think: my skin looks incredible. And it keeps going.

  5. Months one to three

    Three treatments, a month apart

    For a noticeable change, I'll usually recommend three treatments, about a month apart. It gives us consistency instead of asking one treatment to do all the work.

  6. After that

    Your plan changes as your skin does

    We reassess. Maintenance every 8 to 12 weeks, a boost every six months, or something different like Liquid Microneedling.

Prices

For a noticeable change, I usually recommend three.

You can have a one-off SkinPen treatment. Even an occasional one gives your collagen a boost.

But if you've come to me because you want a noticeable change, I'll usually recommend three treatments, about a month apart. It gives us consistency instead of asking one treatment to do all the work.

A one-off still boosts your collagen. For a noticeable change, I usually recommend three, about a month apart.

“I booked a course of 3 SkinPen and after just 1 session I can see the difference already, so I am really excited about my end result. It was a very comfortable treatment with no pain at all. Emma is lovely and explained in detail the whole process and gave me a box of after-treatment products to take home.”

SkinPen questions.

How much downtime will I need?

Around 24 hours of visible redness, settling to pink or flushed. Some clients see redness for longer, but it's unusual.

Can I wear makeup afterwards?

Not for at least 24 hours.

Do I have to book three?

No. A single treatment is still a good collagen boost. For longer-term change, I'd recommend a course.

Is SkinPen the same as Liquid Microneedling?

No. SkinPen uses precision needles to make controlled channels. Liquid Microneedling (Lira Clinical Green Power) uses naturally derived spicules and no needles. Both have a place at Pearl, at different stages.

I'm not sure SkinPen is right for me.

You don't need to guess. Start with the Skin Journey Starter and I'll give you my honest opinion on whether SkinPen should be part of your plan. Or just message me.
