Inside Skin Laine
About this treatment
SkinPen Microneedling is one of Skin Laine’s flagship skin-health treatments in Ballina, Co. Mayo. The medical microneedling device creates precise, controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin’s natural repair and collagen remodelling — making it a trusted option for acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and fine lines when results are planned over a course rather than a single visit. Every treatment begins with consultation: your clinician maps concern areas, sets needle depth, and agrees session count and intervals. That personalised planning is what makes SkinPen effective for clients who want measurable, gradual improvement without overpromising overnight change. For laxity or scarring where deeper energy delivery may help, Skin Laine also offers Gentlo RF Microneedling — microneedling combined with radiofrequency for energy-assisted remodelling. Your consultation will clarify whether SkinPen alone, Gentlo, or a staged combination best matches your skin and goals. You can expect redness similar to sun exposure for one to three days. Most clients resume routine activity quickly with hydration-first aftercare and strict SPF 50. Microneedling is not advised with active acne infection, open lesions, or recent injectable and laser procedures in the same area — suitability is confirmed before treatment.

Aftercare
- Avoid makeup, heat, and intense exercise for 24 hours.
- Pause retinoids, acids, and vitamin C for 5 to 7 days.

Is SkinPen suitable for all skin tones?
