What Is SkinPen® Precision Elite Microneedling?
SkinPen® Precision Elite is a medical-grade microneedling device designed to create thousands of controlled microscopic channels in the skin.
These controlled micro-injuries activate the skin’s normal wound-healing response. During this process, cellular activity increases and new collagen and elastin fibres begin to form as the skin remodels.
Unlike injectable treatments, SkinPen® does not work by adding volume beneath the skin. It also does not rely on heat or laser energy.
Instead, the treatment works with the skin’s own repair processes.
That makes microneedling particularly relevant for people who want to focus on skin quality, texture and natural rejuvenation rather than changing the shape or proportions of their face.
SkinPen® Precision Elite is described by Crown Aesthetics as a Class IIa medical-grade device in the UK, and the SkinPen® technology was the first microneedling system to receive FDA clearance in the United States.
You can read more about the technology directly from the official SkinPen® UK website.
What Can SkinPen® Microneedling Help Improve?
Microneedling is primarily a skin remodelling treatment.
Rather than focusing on one wrinkle or facial feature, treatment is designed to improve the overall condition and appearance of the skin.
SkinPen® has recognised indications relating to concerns including facial acne scarring and wrinkles on the neck. Its UK and European indications have also expanded to include concerns such as enlarged pores, surgical scars and stretch marks.
Depending on your individual assessment, people commonly explore microneedling when concerned about:
- uneven skin texture
- visible pores
- acne scarring
- fine lines
- early signs of skin ageing
- reduced skin firmness
- areas of scarring
- general skin quality
The important distinction is that SkinPen® is designed for skin remodelling, rather than replacing lost facial volume.
If your main concern is deeper volume loss or structural ageing, a different treatment may be more appropriate.
Why SkinPen® Appeals To Clients Who Want Natural Rejuvenation
Many clients at Coull Aesthetics do not want to look dramatically different.
They simply want their skin to look healthier, fresher and better supported.
SkinPen® fits naturally with that philosophy because treatment stimulates the body’s own repair response rather than introducing filler into the face. It is particularly useful when the concern is primarily the skin itself, rather than facial shape.
Looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks or uneven skin tone? SkinPen® microneedling might be the answer. It’s easy, effective and clinically proven to stimulate collagen production and get smoother skin.
SkinPen® Microneedling Vs Sculptra
Both treatments may form part of a collagen-focused approach, but they work very differently.
SkinPen® Precision Elite creates controlled microchannels within the skin to initiate a natural wound-healing and remodelling response.
Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator placed deeper within the tissues to gradually support collagen production and facial structure.
Someone concerned about texture, pores, fine lines or acne scarring may be more interested in SkinPen®.
Someone experiencing bigger structural or volume-related changes may benefit from discussing Sculptra treatment.
Neither treatment is automatically better.
The right approach depends on what has actually changed in your skin and what you would like to improve.
What Happens During A SkinPen® Treatment?
Every treatment at Coull Aesthetics begins with an assessment rather than assuming microneedling is automatically the right option.
Skin Assessment & Consultation
Orla will discuss your skin concerns, medical history, previous treatments and expectations.
Your skin will be assessed to determine whether SkinPen® microneedling is appropriate and whether another option might better address your concerns.
Preparing & Cleansing The Skin
The treatment area is thoroughly prepared and cleansed before microneedling begins.
A topical numbing product may be used where appropriate to improve comfort during treatment. Crown Aesthetics describes most patients as experiencing sensations such as light pressure or mild buzzing.
Controlled Microneedling Treatment
The SkinPen® device is passed systematically across the treatment area at settings selected for the individual treatment.
SkinPen® Precision Elite uses a sterile single-use cartridge containing 14 surgical-grade stainless-steel needles, with built-in features intended to support controlled depth and reduce cross-contamination risk.
Aftercare & Skin Recovery
Your skin is likely to look red following treatment, similar to the appearance of mild sunburn.
This typically settles over the following day or two, with most redness reduced after the first 24 hours. Makeup can typically be worn the next day. Despite the minimal downtime, patients are often surprised by how much their skin improves, especially with a recommended course of sessions.
Orla will provide personalised aftercare guidance based on your skin and treatment.
How Many SkinPen® Treatments Will I Need?
Microneedling is usually approached as a course rather than expecting one appointment to completely remodel the skin.
Your SkinPen® Treatment Plan:
Every patient’s skin is unique, so your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals during your consultation. A typical SkinPen® treatment plan may include:
- 3 sessions: Spaced approximately 4 weeks apart for overall skin rejuvenation.
- 4–6 sessions: Recommended for acne scarring or more advanced skin texture concerns.
- Maintenance: A treatment every 6–9 months to help maintain smoother, healthier-looking, radiant skin.
Is SkinPen® Suitable For Mature Skin?
Microneedling can be particularly interesting for clients who are noticing changes in skin quality with age but do not necessarily want additional facial volume.
As skin ages, concerns may include fine lines, rougher texture, visible pores, scarring and reduced firmness.
SkinPen® works through controlled skin remodelling, which means it can form part of a broader approach to maintaining healthier-looking mature skin.
However, significant skin laxity or facial volume loss cannot be treated in the same way as surface skin quality.
Where appropriate, Orla may discuss other options including Sculptra, chemical peels or personalised medical-grade skincare.
The aim is not to sell you every treatment.
It is to identify which approach makes sense for your skin.
Why Treatment Quality & Device Choice Matter
Not every microneedling treatment uses the same technology.
SkinPen® Precision Elite is supplied to Coull Aesthetics directly through Crown Aesthetics, with genuine treatment consumables supplied through the same authorised route.
Each treatment uses a dedicated single-use cartridge designed to minimise contamination between treatments. The device incorporates features including controlled needle depth, fluid ingress protection and a validated single-use lockout system.
Orla’s SkinPen® onboarding also includes CPD-accredited device training and access to ongoing education through Revance Academy. Crown Aesthetics confirms that its UK Precision Elite education programme includes CPD-accredited training covering areas such as anatomy, wound healing, treatment protocols, contraindications and precautions.
Medical devices supplied in Great Britain are subject to UK medical-device regulation overseen by the MHRA. You can find further information through the government’s guidance on medical device regulation in the UK.
Orla’s Independent Nurse Prescriber qualification also sits within professional standards established by the Nursing & Midwifery Council.
Frequently Asked Questions
A topical numbing product may be used before treatment to make the procedure more comfortable. SkinPen® describes the typical treatment sensation as light pressure or a mild buzzing feeling. Individual comfort levels will vary.
Redness and a sensation similar to mild sunburn can occur after microneedling. This usually settles within one to two days, although recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the depth of treatment used to address specific skin concerns.
Microneedling works by encouraging the skin’s natural repair and remodelling processes, so results develop gradually rather than appearing immediately.
A course of three treatments is often recommended, and many patients begin to notice more visible improvements after their second session. Results can continue to develop over time as the skin remodels.
Improvements may include:
- Smoother skin texture
- Brighter, fresher-looking skin
- Softer-looking acne scars
- More refined pores
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved overall skin quality
- A healthier-looking complexion
No. SkinPen® Precision Elite is a powered, medical-grade microneedling device with adjustable treatment depths and sterile, single-use needle cartridges.
Its technology, precision and professional treatment protocols are very different from at-home dermarollers, allowing for a more controlled and effective treatment tailored to your individual skin concerns.
Microneedling is not appropriate for everybody. Medical history, active skin conditions, medications, and healing considerations need to be reviewed before treatment. SkinPen® professional education specifically includes contraindications and precautions, which is why a proper consultation is an important part of treatment planning.
