At Illume Cosmetic Clinic, we use the award-winning SkinPen® Precision device — the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling system and TGA-approved for treating acne scars. SkinPen® is designed to safely and effectively trigger your skin’s natural healing process to improve tone, texture, and overall luminosity.

This minimally invasive procedure uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to rejuvenate and refine the complexion from within — revealing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

SkinPen® Microneedling Information

What is SkinPen® Microneedling and how does it work?

SkinPen® Microneedling is an advanced, medical-grade skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural wound-healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

What skin concerns can SkinPen® help improve?

SkinPen® can help address a wide range of concerns including acne scarring, fine lines, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, sun damage, and overall skin texture. It’s suitable for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas of the body.

Is there any downtime after SkinPen® Microneedling?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most clients return to their normal activities the next day, following post-treatment skincare instructions provided by our team.

How many SkinPen® sessions will I need?

For optimal results, a series of treatments is usually recommended. Your nurse will create a personalised plan based on your skin goals and concern severity, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
