Are you looking for microneedling in Belfast or Antrim that delivers real results, not gimmicks? At SO Aesthetics Clinic, located in Crumlin, we specialise in SkinPen® Precision Microneedling — the most advanced, FDA-cleared microneedling technology designed to remodel skin from the inside out.
What Is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® is a medical-grade microneedling device that stimulates your body’s natural healing process by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. These activate collagen and elastin production, improving the texture, tone and firmness of your skin over time.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, this non-surgical treatment is ideal for both preventative and corrective care.
What Skin Concerns Does Microneedling Treat?
SkinPen® microneedling is clinically proven to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Pigmentation issues
- Acne scars
It’s safe for all skin types and tones, and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and body.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Appointment
Each session takes around 45–60 minutes, including:
- A full skin consultation
- Topical numbing to minimise discomfort
- SkinPen® microneedling treatment
Most patients describe the sensation as “mildly prickly but tolerable.” Afterward, you may look slightly pink — like a sunburn — for 24 to 48 hours. Patients will be sent home with aftercare serum (includes copper & magnesium) to apply.
Looking to smooth dynamic lines caused by facial movement? Consider our anti-wrinkle injections as a complementary option.

Microneedling FAQs
How long is each session?
Approximately 45–60 minutes.
Is microneedling painful?
Most patients find it very tolerable after numbing cream.
Can microneedling damage my skin?
Not with SkinPen®. It’s designed to avoid skin dragging and tearing, unlike some cheaper pens.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3–6 depending on your concern.
What downtime can I expect?
The total healing time depends on each individual patient. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild sunburn) for two-to-four days. Some patients may heal completely in 24 hours.
