Stimulate collagen, smooth skin texture and improve overall skin quality with medical-grade microneedling, performed by experienced clinicians using the SkinPen precision device.
SkinPen microneedling for acne scars, texture and fine lines at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford
Microneedling at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford suits anyone wanting to improve skin texture, scarring or fine lines. Because it prompts the skin to rebuild its own collagen, it is ideal if you want genuine renewal rather than a surface-only treatment.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses very fine needles to create thousands of tiny channels in the skin. These trigger the skin’s natural repair process, which builds fresh collagen and elastin to smooth and firm the skin.
At Cannelle in Oxford, we use the medical-grade SkinPen device, the first microneedling pen cleared for safety and results. We can also pair it with exosomes to enhance healing, and every course is tailored to your skin and your concern.
It is one of our facial and skin-health treatments in Oxford at Cannelle Skin Clinic.
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin with the SkinPen device. The skin responds by repairing itself, producing new collagen and elastin that gradually smooth scars, refine texture and firm the surface.
Because the channels also allow active ingredients to penetrate more deeply, we can apply exosomes or serums during the treatment to boost results. The improvement builds over the weeks following each session, which is why a course works best.
First, the skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied, so the treatment stays comfortable throughout.
Next, the SkinPen glides over the skin, creating thousands of tiny channels at a depth chosen for your concern, whether that is scarring, texture or fine lines.
The channels allow serums or exosomes to absorb more deeply, which is why we often pair microneedling with exosomes to enhance healing and results.
Over the following weeks, the skin repairs itself by producing fresh collagen and elastin, gradually smoothing scars and firming the surface.
Finally, a course of three to six sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, builds the strongest result, with maintenance keeping the skin smooth.
Microneedling results build over a course as new collagen forms, so improvements in scarring and texture are best seen weeks after treatment. Treatment-specific before and after images from our Oxford clinic will be added here as clinical photography becomes available. In the meantime, our team is always happy to talk through realistic results at your consultation.
Most patients come to Cannelle in Oxford for microneedling to improve acne scars, texture or fine lines. From your first consultation through to your follow-up, every step is clearly explained and easy to follow.
First, please avoid retinol, strong exfoliants and sun exposure for a few days beforehand. We assess your skin, then apply numbing cream around 30 minutes before we begin.
Next, the SkinPen is passed over the area, taking 30 to 75 minutes depending on the size and whether exosomes are added. With numbing in place, most patients find it very comfortable.
Afterwards, the skin looks pink, like mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the next day, using gentle skincare and sun protection while the skin renews.
Choosing Cannelle for microneedling means a medical-grade SkinPen treatment, tailored to your skin and concern by an experienced team. Because depth and technique affect both safety and results, the right hands matter.
Because microneedling is mechanical rather than light-based, it is suitable for all skin tones. Every course still begins with an assessment, so the depth and plan are matched to your skin from the start.
SkinPen microneedling at Cannelle Skin Clinic starts from £230 for the full face, with options to include the neck and décolletage. Adding exosomes enhances healing and results. Because the effect builds over time, most patients have a course of three to six sessions.

Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments, which is why we tailor it to your concern. These are the reasons patients in Oxford most often choose it.
For acne scarring, microneedling breaks down old scar tissue and rebuilds smoother skin through new collagen. A course gives the clearest improvement in indented and uneven scars.
For rough texture, enlarged pores and early fine lines, microneedling refines and firms the skin, leaving it smoother and more refreshed over a course of sessions.
Adding exosomes during microneedling enhances healing and amplifies results, as the channels allow these powerful regenerative messengers to absorb deeply into the skin.
Microneedling raises a familiar set of questions from patients in Oxford about cost, scarring, comfort and results. We have answered the most common ones below. If something specific is on your mind, the team is always happy to help.
SkinPen microneedling at Cannelle Skin Clinic starts from £230 for the full face, rising with the area treated and whether exosomes are added. Because results build over a course, our team will explain a clear plan and price at your consultation.
Most patients have a course of three to six sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, because collagen builds gradually. Acne scarring often needs the upper end of that range for the best result.
Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars, breaking down old scar tissue and rebuilding smoother skin through new collagen over a course.
With numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients find it very tolerable, describing a light scratching sensation. The treatment is comfortable and well managed throughout.
Downtime is short. The skin looks pink, like mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours, with most patients returning to normal activities the next day using gentle skincare and sun protection.
Exosomes are regenerative messengers that enhance healing and results when applied during microneedling. Many patients add them for scarring or a stronger rejuvenation effect. You can read more on our exosomes page.
Yes. SkinPen is a medical-grade device cleared for safety and results, with precise, adjustable depth and sterile single-use tips. This makes it far safer and more effective than a home dermaroller.
Yes. Because microneedling is mechanical rather than light-based, it is safe for all skin tones. Your treatment depth and plan are still tailored to your skin at assessment.
Skin often looks fresher within a week or two, while the fuller result in scarring and texture builds over the following months as new collagen forms.

Once patients understand microneedling, the next questions are usually about how it compares with RF microneedling, chemical peels and HIFU. The answers below cover what our Oxford team is asked most often.
Standard microneedling uses needles alone to stimulate collagen and is excellent for scars and texture. RF microneedling, such as Morpheus8, adds radiofrequency heat for deeper tightening of lax skin. Our team will advise which suits your concern.
A chemical peel resurfaces the surface and is great for tone and pigmentation, while microneedling works deeper to rebuild collagen for scars and texture. Many patients alternate the two for an all-round result.
They can be part of the same plan, though usually in separate sessions rather than at once. HIFU tightens deeper tissue while microneedling refines the surface, and we will sequence them safely for your skin.
For scarring or a stronger rejuvenation result, many patients find exosomes well worth adding. The microneedling channels let the exosomes absorb deeply, enhancing healing and the overall outcome.
Microneedling offers strong value for texture and scarring, as a course delivers genuine collagen renewal rather than a surface-only effect. Results last several months and can be maintained with occasional sessions.
Yes. Microneedling pairs well with skincare, peels and other treatments. Our team will plan a sensible sequence so each treatment has time to work without overloading the skin.
