Better skin with SkinPen

SkinPen is the first microneedling device to be FDA approved and is clinically proven to treat facial acne scarring and boost collagen production safely and effectively. The technology uses patented single use sterile needle cartridges which makes the treatment extremely safe and hygienic. Only SkinPen offers patients this level of safety.

What do our patients love?

Patients love the improved skin texture, elasticity, complexion and reduced scarring. SkinPen produces natural results by relying on the skin’s ability to heal and repair itself.

Who is it for?

SkinPen is appropriate for the majority of patients with a relatively short post-treatment downtime and easily managed aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions can SkinPen help with?

Microneedling is designed to improve texture, elasticity, complexion and scarring. This is achieved by using the body’s natural healing ability. SkinPen has adjustable depth setting which allows us to treat on all areas of the face and body.
SkinPen can treat a variety of skincare needs including:

Fine line and wrinkles
Stretch marks
Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
Acne and chicken pox scars and other scarring such as trauma and surgical

How does SkinPen work?

Microneedling works by using controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process while minimising cellular damage. These micro-injuries stimulate the fibroblasts which are found in cells and are responsible for producing collagen.

There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

Phase 1: Inflammation – By piercing the skin, the body’s immune system is triggered to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase 2: Proliferation – The new granulation cells which are part of the extracellular matrix rebuild the wound.
Phase 3: Remodelling – The new wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

Is the SkinPen treatment right for me?

Microneedling is suitable and safe to treat on all skin types. This is because it doesn’t use heat and is totally mechanical. The treatment is great for anyone looking to treat acne scarring as well as improving the texture and complexion of their skin. It is important to make sure that prior to SkinPen treatments that patients do not have any inflammation or infected areas on their skin. Any wounds and inflammation (including cystic acne) will have to clear before commencing with treatment

How long does the SkinPen treatment take?

30 minutes prior to the treatment a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treated area. The treatment time varies depending on the size of the area treated and can vary between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

What does the SkinPen treatment feel like?

Prior to the treatment a topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to the treated area to improve the patients comfort. Patients typically experience a mild ‘pin prick’ sensation and gentle vibrations from the pen.

How many sessions will I need?

The amount of treatments needed is dependent on the individual and their skin condition. Usually a course of 3 treatments will be recommended at 4 to 6 week intervals for optimal results.

What do I need to do before a treatment with M22 laser treatment?

Prior to treatment, patients are advised to avoid excessive sun exposure at least 2 weeks prior to course of treatment.
Patients are advised to avoid deep depth chemical peels and laser resurfacing 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. Superficial/medium depth peels should be completed 2 weeks prior to SkinPen.
Patients are advised to follow a skincare routine recommended by their practitioner to achieve best treatment results.
Patients should avoid the use of Retinols, AHA’s and BHA’s at least 48hrs prior to treatment.

Is the SkinPen treatment safe?

Yes SkinPen is a safe device, it has received a CE mark medical grade registration in Europe as well as FDA clearance in the USA which provides practices with a safe and effective device compliant and certified to ISO and BSI standards. It has also been clinically tested and validated to prevent the risk of cross contamination during treatment

Is there any downtime?

Minimal downtime is present after the treatment. You will experience a sunburn type redness and mild swelling for up to 48hrs after the treatment. Dry skin and flaking may be noticed which may also be followed by tiny scabs in the areas treated, but this will subside within a few days. Your practitioner will recommend an after-care skin routine to help with any downtime.

Are there any side effects?

Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience severe redness and mild swelling; this is completely normal and will subside within 48hours after the treatment.
There is a very low risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation post treatment. All of these risks will be addressed during consultation and your therapist will advise you how to minimise these risks by providing you with essential aftercare, this includes: how to cleanse the skin, which skincare to use, limiting sun exposure and avoiding touching the skin to avoid bacteria entering the skin.

When can I expect to see results?

Best visible results are seen when a course of 3 to 6 treatments has been completed, spaced out 4-6 weeks apart. However, some patients see a significant improvement even after the first session. Micro- needling is a continuous and progressive treatment which requires maintenance treatment to boost the skin every 3-6 months.

What aftercare is advised?

Patients are advised to avoid application of make-up for at least 24hours after the treatment. It is also not advisable to use retinol or any creams which are too active for a week. Patient will be given a growth factor serum to use before bed and the next morning to hydrate and soothe the skin.
Other after care includes:

Avoiding direct sun exposure,
A broad spectrum sunscreen should be worn on a daily basis.
Hot treatment such as saunas/steam rooms should be avoided for 48 hours.

I 100% recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to get any form of aesthetic treatment but is sceptical. I had my reservations about getting treatment but this place was recommended to me by a couple of friends and did not disappoint. I was treated by Dr Paris; she is very friendly and easy to talk and so, it makes it easy to ask her any questions you may have. She is very knowledgeable and suggests the best treatment options for you, while your safety and best outcomes are her main priority.

I've been coming to Berkshire Aesthetics for years now for my HyrdaFacials and I would never go anywhere else. I always leave feeling refreshed and way less congested. I'd like to personally thank Barbara for yesterday's facial, she took an obvious interest in my lifestyle, therefore making it easy for her to adapt the treatment to best suit me and also, recommend any changes I should consider to improve my skin.

I would like to say thank you for my enjoyable visit to you yesterday. Your clinic is truly perfect in every way, the best, most professional and caring clinic I have ever visited. Everything about my visit made me feel like I was thought and cared about. I was thrilled to see my pictures of before and after of Ultherapy, although I knew it had made such a difference, seeing the photos was amazing and I can stop wearing polo neck jumpers in order to cover up my neck. Thank you to Doctor Langdon for her amazing work with the fillers I felt very reassured and completely confident I was in good hands. This is the first time I have ever had fillers and not have bruises on my face! I cannot put into words just how perfect this clinic is, I am so blessed to have found it..

I have now been to Berkshire Aesthetics twice- I originally went on reading the reviews, so want to leave one to encourage anyone who is considering them to go. The clinic is actually quite out of the way for me but I returned because it was just faultless. From the second you enter you are made to feel welcome, safe and calm. This was my first experience in a clinic like this and it was just a 5 star service. I felt looked after and very safe during Covid, you get given a mask and protective apron and hand sanitiser before you even step into the door, and Dr Langdon is just the most friendly, easy to talk to, lovely surgeon in the world- she is so knowledgable and put me completely at ease, answering any questions I had without judgement and very kindly. The receptionists are also always the sweetest and most helpful ladies- apologies for not knowing names as I think in my two times I’ve met three different ladies but you’re all amazing! The actual procedures I’ve had done as well have been 10/10 - Will definitely be coming back, thank you so much!

I felt quite anxious yesterday going for my ultherapy appointment in this current environment. My overall experience for all the staff I met is that I was treated in the most professional and kind way by everyone. Barbara who delivered my treatment was amazing and make me feel so relaxed, thank you so much Barbara, Lisa in reception and the lady next to her, who could see I was in a rush and quickly emailed me my next appointment. Selena also gave me some assuring and kind words. Berkshire Aesthetics is the nicest, cleanest and most professional clinic I have ever visited or experienced. Thank you so much, all of you!....Sue from Camberley

I couldn't recommend Berkshire Aesthetics more highly. The clinic is welcoming and so professionally run, from reception to your consultation and ultimately your treatment. At your consultation options are discussed to suit your needs and your pocket! With Dr Langdon her "less is more" approach is perfect because it can be "topped up" at your follow-up appointment. The treatments available are top of the range - and work! FYI the clinic itself, during these difficult times, is run to the highest medical standards and totally safe. I have had various treatments by nearly all members of staff and they are all 5 star!

Like other reviewers I was very impressed with Berkshire Aesthetics. Dr Langdon explained everything very clearly and in great detail, and there was definitely no pressure to book a treatment after the initial appointment. The atmosphere was very relaxed but still professional, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. After my Coolsculpting treatment I was given comprehensive after-care advice and I felt completely at ease. This is an excellent clinic and I highly recommend it.

Highest quality service and treatments, all staff are very professional and very skilled and highly trained in the treatments they offer,can’t recommend enough ,as your in very safe hands when you have a treatment ,I had many treatment over pass 14 years ,but no other clinic in past 14 years even come close to skill set of the staff at Berkshire aesthetics and that is very important to results You end up with after a treatment,as moor skilled the person is in a treatment in turn means you end up with better results after treatments to some one who not as skilled or trained as well you would end up with lesser result after the treatment,but at the same time some who had the highest training makes it safer also when having the treatment done.also Dr Langdon is very skilled in her field,it took me seven consultations at other clinics till I find DR Langdon who had the knowledge and training to be able to do deep chemical peels and to perform a liquid face lift on me over the past year,I even had people think I had plastic surgery and had a face lift and eye lid surgery,I have to explain to people that I have not had plastic surgery and that Dr Langdon had done a liquids face lift on me over a year,it took me over two years and many consultations at other clinics were doctors were not as skilled or trained to level of Dr Langdon who could do treatments to perform a liquid face lift,

I have visited Berkshire Aesthetics a number of times with my mother for her treatments. I have found Selena to be both professional and caring towards my mother, always putting her at ease and asking her if she is ok throughout the treatment. A special thanks to Lisa and Arelata for providing an excellent customer service, accommodating my mothers needs and explaining the treatment every step of the way. I can not fault them in any way and would highly recommend the clinic. Looking forward to my mother’s ongoing treatment.
