How many sessions do I need?

A course of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is the standard recommendation. Maintenance sessions every six to twelve months help sustain results.

Microneedling

SkinPen Precision — the world's first FDA-cleared microneedling device for collagen induction and skin renewal.

Book a Consultation

Microneedling uses a device fitted with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-channels trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. At Skintap, Nurse Heather uses the SkinPen Precision — the world's first FDA-cleared microneedling device — for safe, effective, and clinically proven results.

SkinPen Precision

SkinPen Precision is the only FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world, with a robust clinical evidence base for acne scarring, fine lines and overall skin quality. Its adjustable needle depth (0.25–2.5mm) allows precise treatment of different skin concerns and anatomical areas, from delicate under-eye skin to deeper acne scars.

Combination Treatments

Microneedling at Skintap is frequently combined with PRP, exosomes, or skinbooster application for enhanced results. The micro-channels created by SkinPen allow topical actives to penetrate far more deeply than they would through intact skin, amplifying the treatment effect.
