The technique

The body's own response, triggered precisely.

SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared class II medical grade microneedling device. SkinPen's precision-engineered handpiece creates consistent, controlled micro-channels at an exact depth. The body responds by laying down new collagen and elastin during the healing cycle that follows. Over a course of treatments the skin remodels itself, texture refines, tone evens, fine lines soften, scarring fades. When you choose SkinPen at Maison Montclair, you're choosing the device trusted by dermatologists and clinicians worldwide.

SkinPen® Precision Microneedling · FAQ
What does it feel like?

Pain tolerance varies, but most patients report only minimal discomfort, often described as a light pricking or tingling sensation. Numbing cream can be applied for anyone who’d prefer extra comfort, particularly for deeper settings or more sensitive areas.

How many sessions will I need?

Depending on your individual assessment, most patients see best results from a course of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about a month apart.

How long is the downtime?

Minimal. Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 1–2 days, with some dryness or light flaking over the following few days as your skin heals.

When will I see results?

Early improvements in texture and tone appear within 2–4 weeks, with the deepest, most dramatic results visible at 3 to 6 months as new collagen fully matures after your full course.

Is SkinPen® suitable for all skin types and tones?

Yes, SkinPen® is clinically proven to be safe and effective for all skin types and skin tones. Because it relies on precise, mechanical microneedles rather than heat or light—which can cause pigmentation issues in deeper skin—it carries a very low risk of hyperpigmentation.

For darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick Types IV–VI), prepping for SkinPen® two weeks prior focuses on stabilising melanin production and minimising the risk of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Two weeks prior, start a tyrosinase inhibitor (like a Tranexamic Acid or Vitamin C serum, or Ultraceuticals brightening serum) and strictly avoid sun exposure.

What other protocols can be combined with SkinPen® microneedling?

Introducing advanced topicals during or immediately after SkinPen® microneedling, or utilising specific peel protocols beforehand can significantly maximise your outcomes

  • Synthetic or plant-derived exosomes (such as the Ultraceuticals youth boost DNA) is highly popular. They contain billions of signaling micro-vesicles that function as biological messengers. They instantly communicate with tired or structurally damaged skin cells, instructing them to rapidly regenerate, repair, and behave like young, healthy cells.
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or the "Vampire Facial," applies the patient’s own concentrated growth factors accelerates cellular turnover, improves acne scarring, and significantly shortens overall downtime.
  • Performing a chemical peel directly prior to microneedling using the Ultraceuticals power peel range is highly effective for targeting stubborn pigmentation, sun damage, and advanced aging.
  • PDRN (Salmon DNA) booster aids in deep structural hydration, wound recovery, and evening out compromised skin textures, as PDRN is over 97% identical to human DNA structure.
