Stimulate collagen, smooth skin texture and improve overall skin quality with medical-grade microneedling, performed by experienced clinicians using the SkinPen precision device.
Microneedling is suitable for treating a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scarring and post-acne marks, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and early signs of ageing. It also helps improve dull, tired-looking skin, mild pigmentation and sun damage, while enhancing overall skin quality and firmness. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking visible, natural-looking improvement with minimal downtime.
Microneedling is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone and overall quality by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response. Using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin to trigger collagen and elastin production.
At Cannelle Skin Clinic, we use the SkinPen microneedling system, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, to deliver precise, consistent and safe results for a wide range of skin concerns.
Dr Mattia oversees microneedling protocols at Cannelle to ensure each patient receives a tailored plan based on their skin condition and goals. Whether you want to brighten dull skin, soften scars, improve texture or enhance elasticity, microneedling offers a natural, progressive and long lasting improvement.
At Cannelle Skin Clinic, we use SkinPen®, an advanced medical-grade microneedling device trusted by leading aesthetic clinics worldwide.
Why SkinPen® matters:
Medical-grade, precision-controlled technology

By choosing SkinPen, we ensure your microneedling treatment is safe, effective and results-driven, whether performed by Dr Mattia or one of our experienced aesthetic therapists.
Microneedling offers a natural and effective way to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production from within. It improves texture, refines pores, softens fine lines and enhances overall skin quality without altering facial features. Using the SkinPen® system allows for controlled, precise treatment with minimal downtime, making microneedling a popular choice for patients seeking visible results with a conservative, skin-first approach.
Many patients visit Cannelle Skin Clinic seeking smoother texture, improved skin tone or visible reduction in acne scarring and fine lines. During your consultation, your clinician will assess your skin concerns, skin type and treatment goals to determine whether microneedling is the most appropriate option for you.
Using the SkinPen® device, treatment depth and technique are customised to your skin’s needs. This tailored approach allows us to safely target problem areas while supporting natural collagen production and long-term skin health.
Results develop gradually as the skin repairs and renews itself, with many patients noticing improvements in texture, clarity and radiance within a few weeks.
Your microneedling appointment begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment to ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin type and concerns. This allows your clinician to tailor the procedure to address issues such as fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, acne scarring or loss of firmness.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximise comfort. This is left on the skin for a short period so that the procedure remains well tolerated, even on more sensitive areas of the face.
Once the skin is prepared, the SkinPen microneedling device is gently passed over the treatment area. The device creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the level of customisation required. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration rather than pain. Throughout the procedure, your clinician carefully adjusts depth and technique based on your skin and treatment goals to ensure safety, precision and optimal results.
Immediately after microneedling, the skin may appear pink or lightly flushed and feel warm or tight, similar to mild sun exposure. This is a normal response and usually settles within 24 to 72 hours.
Most patients can return to normal daily activities the same day, following the aftercare guidance provided. In the first few days, mild redness and sensitivity are common as the skin begins its repair process. As healing progresses, the skin often feels smoother and more refined. Over the following weeks, collagen production increases, leading to gradual improvements in texture, tone and firmness. For optimal results, a course of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns.
Aftercare is an important part of achieving the best outcome. Makeup should be avoided for at least 24 hours, and daily SPF is essential to protect the newly treated skin. Active skincare ingredients should be paused for several days, while gentle hydration is encouraged to support healing. Your clinician may also advise professional skincare products, such as ZO Skin Health, to enhance and maintain your results.
Choosing microneedling at Cannelle Skin Clinic means receiving care within a doctor led environment where precision, safety and results are prioritised.

I had two waxings and a biofacial today. Holly was excellent, knowledgeable, and impeccable in her attention. The products also felt really lovely – the hot wax was painless and the facial products felt luxurious. The whole experience was the best I’ve ever had. Will come back.
I go to Cannelle for facials, manicures and pedicures. They are professional, skilled, and attentive to my needs. It’s a lovely and relaxing environment. Mursal gives such wonderful treatments. She is very knowledgable about skin care and very gentle in the application of the products. I see her every 6 weeks for a facial and my skin has never looked better.
