At HAVA Aesthetics in Esher, Surrey, we specialise in microneedling treatments using the advanced SkinPen® Precision device. Performed by Dr Hadeel Nimaa, this dermatological treatment is designed to improve skin health, skin texture, and elasticity while addressing a wide range of skin concerns. Whether you are looking to smooth fine lines, target acne scars, or restore a more even skin tone, microneedling offers a scientifically proven path to skin rejuvenation.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy or medical skin needling, involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s dermal layer using ultrathin sterilized needles. This triggers a natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen production and elastin fibres for firmer, healthier skin.
While traditional dermal rollers and dermarollers have been used in the past, SkinPen® Precision provides far greater accuracy and consistency. This professional microneedling approach ensures safe treatment of sensitive skin tissue while minimising the risk of damage.
At HAVA Aesthetics, we exclusively use SkinPen® Precision, an FDA-cleared automated device that creates precise microchannels in the skin. These microchannels enhance the absorption of topical treatments, such as hyaluronic acid serums or growth factors, for maximum impact on your skin tissue and overall skin quality.
Key Benefits of SkinPen® Precision Microneedling
1. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By boosting collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps smooth fine lines and soften wrinkles, supporting a more youthful appearance without invasive surgery.
2. Improves Acne Scars and Scar Tissue
Microneedling effectively breaks down scar tissue and stimulates new skin growth, making it a leading choice for scar reduction in patients with acne scars, surgical marks, or other types of scarring.
3. Enhances Skin Tone and Texture
Skin needling promotes an even skin tone, smoothing rough texture and reducing the appearance of Dark Spots caused by sun damage, melanin imbalance, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
4. Targets Stretch Marks and Body Scarring
The same wound-healing response that improves facial skin can also fade stretch marks and restore skin elasticity in areas like the stomach, thighs, and arms.
5. Addresses Multiple Skin Concerns
From enlarged pores and UV damage to active acne and hair loss (when combined with platelet-rich plasma), microneedling offers versatile solutions for a wide range of skin conditions and skin care needs.
The Procedure and What to Expect
Your microneedling session begins with a full dermatology-led consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine the correct needle length for your treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.
Dr Hadeel Nimaa then uses the SkinPen® Precision device to create thousands of micro-injuries at a controlled depth, stimulating the dermis and supporting skin remodelling. This process works deep within the skin’s dermal layer, improving blood flow and supporting skin repair.
While the technique differs from dermal rolling, both approaches work to stimulate collagen production. However, automated devices like SkinPen® Precision provide a more precise puncturing pattern than manual dermarollers or a derma pen, which means safer results for patients.
Depending on your goals, we may also apply targeted serums, hyaluronic acid, or growth factors immediately after treatment to accelerate skin healing and maximise results.
Combining Microneedling with Other Treatments
Microneedling can be safely combined with chemical peels, laser treatments, or platelet-rich plasma for enhanced results. These complementary treatments work alongside skin needling to improve stubborn pigmentation, address UV damage, and refine pores for a smoother surface.
Safety and Side Effects
When performed by a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist, microneedling is a safe and effective cosmetic treatment with minimal downtime. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight skin irritation are common side effects that usually subside within 24-48 hours.
Strict sterilisation protocols and the use of automated devices like SkinPen® Precision minimise the risk of skin infections and ensure consistent needle penetration. The precision of ultrathin needles also helps reduce trauma to the skin while promoting an optimal healing response.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
While some patients notice improvements after a single session, a course of three to six treatments spaced several weeks apart often delivers the most effective results. The number of sessions depends on your skin condition, the severity of concerns such as scarring or pigmentation, and your individual skin-healing response.
