SkinPen

Do you want to refine your skin, reduce pores, or address acne scars? The SkinPen treatment is a form of microneedling that stimulates the skin from within. Through controlled micro-channels, the skin's natural repair process is activated, increasing collagen and elastin production. This can result in a smoother, firmer, and more even skin texture. During a consultation at Cosmopolitan Clinic, we assess whether SkinPen is suitable for your skin type, condition, and wishes.

What is a SkinPen treatment?

Microneedling with the SkinPen is an intensive treatment that renews and refines the skin from within. Using ultrafine needles, controlled micro-holes are created in the skin. This stimulates the skin's natural repair process and increases the production of collagen and elastin. This contributes to a smoother, firmer, and more even skin texture.


The SkinPen treatment is suitable for various skin types and can be tailored to specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, and an uneven complexion or texture.

How does it work?

The SkinPen uses ultrafine needles that create tiny channels in the skin. This activates the skin's repair mechanism and stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen fibers. The treatment aims to stimulate the skin from within, without altering its natural appearance.


SkinPen microneedling is often chosen for:


  • fine lines
  • large pores
  • acne scars
  • pigmentation
  • dull skin
  • an irregular skin texture

  • The treatment is tailored to the skin and the treatment area.
