Dermapen Microneedling

at Omniya Clinic in London

If you’re looking for smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin without surgery or downtime, Dermapen microneedling offers one of the most advanced and effective ways to rejuvenate your complexion. At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, London, we use the latest Dermapen technology, an industry-leading microneedling device, to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response.

Using ultra-fine, precisely controlled needles, Dermapen creates microscopic punctures in the skin, prompting your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin. This natural repair process helps refine pores, soften fine lines, tighten loose or sagging skin, and visibly reduce acne scarring and stretch marks. Over time, the result is firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin that looks refreshed from within.

Treatment prices start from £300 per session, with package options available for optimal results.

What is Dermapen? How the Microneedling Pen Works

Dermapen is a medical-grade microneedling device that makes thousands of tiny, precisely controlled channels in the skin’s surface. When these micro-channels are created, the outermost layer of the skin – known as the stratum corneum – is gently pierced. This triggers the release of natural growth factors, which play an important role in repairing and rejuvenating the skin.

As part of the healing process, blood flow to the area increases and specialised cells called fibroblasts start producing fresh collagen and elastin. Over the next few weeks, this surge in cellular activity strengthens and thickens the skin while encouraging natural repair and new tissue growth. The result is a gradual remodelling of the deeper dermal layer, which can:

  • Soften fine lines and wrinkles

  • Refine enlarged pores and improve texture

  • Smooth acne scarring and other superficial scars

  • Reduce the look of stretch marks

  • Support a more even tone if you struggle with sun damage or mild pigmentation

What are the Benefits of Dermapen Microneedling?

There are many benefits associated with micro-needling, which is why it has become such a popular treatment.

  • Microneedling can be personalised with ease by going deeper into some parts of the skin whereby the damage will require an approach that is more aggressive.
  • Microneedling is more affordable when compared with other treatments, such as laser resurfacing, and it does not have the associated risks. You will find it is generally sufficient to have six to ten sessions at a gap of a month at a time.
  • Micro-needling results in regenerative healing, rather than cicatricial healing.
  • We can combine Dermapen with a number of other acne scar treatments, for example, fractional resurfacing, microdermabrasion, chemical peeling, and subcision, giving optimal benefits.
  • We can perform the treatment on most areas of the body, as well as all skin-types.
  • The treatment creates microchannels that will enhance the rate at which serums are absorbed, increasing their efficacy overall. Medical studies have proven that the serum absorption rate can be increased by as much as 1,000 times with microneedling.

Conditions we Treat with Dermapen Microneedling

Microneedling is a cornerstone treatment for post-acne marks and pitted texture. We vary depth for boxcar, rolling or mixed scarring and may combine with a targeted peel or PRP to enhance remodelling.
By stimulating collagen around the pore wall, pores look tighter and the surface appears more refined. Good homecare and SPF help maintain results.
Fresh collagen supports smoother, springier skin. Areas like crow’s feet and lipstick lines respond particularly well to a planned course.
Microneedling can support a brighter, more even appearance when pigmentation is superficial. For complex pigmentation we may add a gentle chemical peel. Your practitioner will advise.
We often treat the stomach, hips and thighs. A course is usually required and results vary by age and depth of the marks.
Microneedling can be a helpful tool for mild laxity on the face and body, improving firmness and the look of crepiness.

What to Expect: Your Dermapen Appointment

We take a thorough medical history, assess your skin and discuss what you want to achieve. We will advise on session number, spacing and any combination therapies that could enhance your results.
Your skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied for around 20–30 minutes to improve comfort.
The microneedling pen is passed across the skin in a precise pattern. On the face this usually takes 30–45 minutes; larger body areas, such as stretch marks, can take longer. Most clients describe the sensation as a light vibration or gentle scratching.
We apply hydrating serums or a cooling mask to calm and nourish. Because the micro-channels remain open briefly, professional serums can penetrate more effectively following treatment.
You will receive written instructions tailored to your skin. Redness typically settles within 24-48 hours. Most people return to normal activities on the same day.

Results, Recovery and the Timeline you can Expect

Initial glow: within a week many clients notice smoother texture and a subtle radiance as cell turnover increases.

Collagen remodelling: over 4-6 weeks, new collagen and elastin strengthen the dermis, improving firmness and softening uneven areas.

Course approach: for general rejuvenation we usually recommend 3-4 sessions; for acne scarring or stretch marks we may suggest 4-6+ sessions, depending on depth and area. Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart for the face and 6-8 weeks for certain body zones.

Longevity: rejuvenation benefits can last 9-12 months. Improvements to acne scars or stretch marks are typically long-lasting.

Downtime: most clients have a light sunburn-like redness for 24-48 hours, possibly with mild tightness or flaking for a few days. With good skincare and SPF, recovery is straightforward.

Dermapen Before and After: How Improvement Builds

  • Day 0-2: pinkness or redness, mild swelling, warmth. Keep things simple: gentle cleanser, bland moisturiser, high-protection SPF 50.

  • Days 3-7: subtle flaking or dryness can occur as the skin renews. Avoid picking or scrubbing.

  • Week 1-2: texture looks smoother, makeup applies more evenly, pores appear refined.

  • Weeks 4-6: collagen remodelling becomes more visible. Fine lines, scars and overall firmness continue to improve.

  • After a course: best results are generally seen after 3-6 treatments. We can schedule maintenance sessions a couple of times per year if desired.

If you would like to see Dermapen before and after examples relevant to your concern, we can share case studies during consultation.

  • Hydration: use a simple, bland moisturiser to support barrier repair.

  • SPF: apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning.

  • Exercise/heat: avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga and swimming for 48 hours.

Professional Treatment vs at-Home Microneedling Devices

DIY or at-home microneedle pens are widely marketed, but we do not recommend them. Professional treatments differ in several ways:

  • Sterility and hygiene: clinical protocols and single-use cartridges reduce infection risk

  • Depth control: precise, zone-by-zone adjustment for safety and efficacy

  • Technique: consistent passes and patterns to avoid over-treating or missing areas

  • Aftercare: guided plan to protect the barrier and prevent pigmentation

If you are thinking about microneedling at home, we suggest you first book a consultation. You will receive more predictable results with far lower risk.

Dermapen Microneedling FAQs

What is the Dermapen?

A professional microneedling pen that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, healthier skin.

The Dermapen differentiates itself from older dermaroller tools thanks to its vertical stamping action and precise, adjustable depth. Vertical entry reduces trauma and tearing compared with angled roller punctures. Electronic depth control allows us to safely customise treatment for different facial zones and body areas. The result is a more comfortable procedure with more consistent results and less downtime.

How does Dermapen work?

Vertical micro-channels from sterile, single-use needles trigger a natural healing response. Growth factors rise and fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin. Over several weeks, texture and firmness improve.

What should I avoid before my treatment?

We recommend that you avoid self tanning products (up to 48 hours beforehand). We also advise that you avoid sun exposure, vitamin A or retinol for 24 hours prior to treatment.

How much will it cost?

We will undertake a consultation whereupon our specialist practitioners will assess your needs to come up with the most appropriate treatment plan. We will advise on the number of sessions required; which depends on the treatment area, and the treatment prices, which start from £300.

Can it be bad for your skin

We consider microneedling to be a safe treatment, with most skin types tolerating the treatment well, but choose a practitioner with care. Our medically trained practitioners have the experience and knowledge to achieve fantastic results with Dermapen.

Does microneedling hurt?

Our patients have not found Dermapen treatments to be overbearingly painful. However, if you have concerns, we can apply topical numbing cream before the treatment is carried out, if you wish.

How does microneedling work?

The treatment entails the use of very small needles, which create tiny punctures in your skin. These punctures trigger the wound healing response in your body, which renews skin cells. As part of this process, elastin and collagen are produced, to plump the skin almost immediately.

Are microneedling results permanent?

Unfortunately not. Whilst it is a very good treatment, the results are not permanent. For optimum results, we recommend a course of treatments on a regular basis.

How long before I see the results of micro needling ?

You ought to see the plumping effect almost immediately afterwards. However, the treatment is a process (natural healing process), and this takes some time before you will see the best results – typically anywhere from 3-6 weeks.

How long does micro needling last?

As your skin is undergoing the natural healing process, and collagen and elastin is regenerated, the results take time to produce, but also last several months. For optimum results, we recommend a course of treatments.

Can micro needling help acne?

Yes, it can help to improve the appearance of acne, acne scars and a variety of other skin concerns and conditions.

Can micro needling get rid of fine lines and wrinkles?

The treatment rejuvenates skin, and helps to combat the signs of early ageing, which includes reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It does this through the collagen production process.

What other Dermapen microneedling treatments does Omniya Clinic offer?

We specifically offer a treatment that combines Dermapen Microneedling with the ÜBER Pro Peel. This effective combination is tailored to maximise skin rejuvenation by simultaneously utilising the regenerative benefits of microneedling and the exfoliative power of a chemical peel. This method is particularly effective for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of scars, and enhancing overall skin health. For more information on this treatment, please visit here.

Does Dermapen hurt?

A topical anaesthetic is applied. Most clients feel light vibration or a mild scratching sensation, not pain.

How long does a Dermapen session take?

The face typically takes 30-45 minutes. Larger body areas can take up to 90 minutes, depending on size.

Does Dermapen tighten skin and reduce pore size?

Yes. By stimulating collagen, the look of pores is refined and mild laxity can be improved over a course.
