Acne Scars
Improved appearance of acne scars.
If you are looking for SkinPen® Microneedling in Urmston, The Skin Sanctuary offers a clinically proven treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scarring and stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. Using the genuine SkinPen® Precision Elite, every treatment is carried out personally by me, Donna Jones, following evidence-based protocols to help you achieve healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin.
SkinPen® is recognised as the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device, making it one of the most trusted technologies available for professional skin rejuvenation. Whether your concerns include acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, or dull-looking skin, your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your skin goals following a detailed consultation.
Choosing the right practitioner is just as important as choosing the right treatment.
At The Skin Sanctuary, every appointment is carried out personally by me, Donna Jones.
My focus is not simply performing treatments. I work with clients who want to improve genuine skin concerns through personalised treatment plans and professional skincare advice.
When you choose The Skin Sanctuary, you benefit from:
Rather than offering the same treatment to everyone, I take time to understand your skin and recommend an approach based on your individual goals. This specialist approach reflects my commitment to helping clients achieve healthier skin through evidence-based treatments and ongoing support.
Not all microneedling treatments are the same.
Many devices available on the market look similar, but their engineering, safety features and treatment consistency can vary considerably. SkinPen® has become recognised worldwide because it combines advanced engineering with clinical evidence to deliver predictable, controlled results whilst maintaining exceptionally high safety standards.
At The Skin Sanctuary, Donna has invested in the SkinPen® Precision Elite, representing a premium approach to collagen induction therapy. This allows clients seeking advanced skin rejuvenation to benefit from genuine SkinPen® technology rather than lower-cost alternatives.
SkinPen® stimulates your body's natural healing response by creating thousands of precise microchannels within the skin.
As your skin repairs itself, fresh collagen and elastin are produced naturally. Over time, this can improve skin firmness, texture, and overall skin quality without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
Because collagen continues developing after treatment, many clients notice progressive improvements over several weeks and months.
Improved appearance of acne scars.
Softer fine lines and wrinkles.
Firmer-looking skin.
Smoother skin texture.
Reduction in enlarged pores.
Improved skin tone.
Brighter complexion.
Enhanced skin radiance.
Natural collagen stimulation.
Long-term skin rejuvenation.
Genuine SkinPen® technology supports controlled treatment and the body's natural healing response.
One of the biggest differences between SkinPen® and many lower-cost microneedling devices is the technology inside the device itself.
Some lower-cost pens rely on spring mechanisms that may not deliver consistent needle depth throughout treatment.
SkinPen® uses a precision mechanical motor designed to provide consistent needle penetration across the treatment area. This allows for accurate, controlled treatment that follows SkinPen®'s evidence-based protocols.
SkinPen® has been engineered to help prevent fluid from travelling back into the handpiece, reducing the potential risk of cross-contamination between treatments.
This forms part of its comprehensive infection control design and is one reason why many practitioners choose genuine SkinPen® technology.
The quality of the needle cartridge is another important factor.
SkinPen® cartridges are manufactured to produce clean, vertical microchannels within the skin. Inferior needle quality may increase unnecessary skin trauma, whereas SkinPen® is designed to create controlled micro-injuries that support your body's natural healing response.

SkinPen® may be suitable for improving a wide variety of common skin concerns, depending on your individual skin assessment.
Treatment may help improve the appearance of:
Every consultation includes an assessment of your skin to determine whether SkinPen® is the most appropriate treatment for your individual concerns.
Some clients may benefit from combining SkinPen® with professional homecare recommendations such as Alumier MD skincare or a wider skin health approach supported by Nutrition where appropriate.
SkinPen® works by creating thousands of microscopic, controlled channels within the skin using fine sterile needles.
Although these microchannels are extremely small, they activate your body’s natural wound healing process.
This process occurs in three stages:
Fresh collagen and elastin begin developing beneath the surface of the skin. These proteins provide structure, firmness and elasticity.
Immediately after treatment, your body begins its natural healing response. Growth factors are released, and the skin starts preparing for repair.
Over the following weeks and months, the newly formed collagen continues to mature, helping improve skin texture, firmness and overall appearance.
Unlike treatments that simply exfoliate the surface, SkinPen® works by encouraging your skin’s own regenerative processes.
Because collagen production continues long after your appointment, results continue to develop naturally over time.
Every SkinPen® Microneedling treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin concerns and goals.
During your consultation, I will assess:
I believe every client deserves honest, personalised advice. If another treatment would better suit your skin, I will explain your options and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Knowing what to expect can help you feel more confident before your appointment.
Your appointment begins with cleansing the skin and confirming your treatment plan.
If appropriate, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximise comfort throughout the procedure.
Once your skin is prepared, the SkinPen® Precision Elite device is carefully moved across the treatment area.
The sterile needle cartridge creates thousands of precise microchannels in the skin at carefully selected depths based on your individual concerns.
Treatment can be carried out on:
Each treatment is performed using genuine SkinPen® protocols and sterile, single-use cartridges.
Following your treatment, your skin will usually appear pink or red, similar to mild sunburn.
This is a normal part of the healing process and generally settles within 24 to 48 hours, although recovery varies between individuals.
One of the features that sets SkinPen® apart is the professional aftercare provided following your appointment.
Your treatment includes an official SkinPen® aftercare pack, which has been designed to support healing during the important first week after treatment.
Your aftercare includes:
These products have been specifically formulated for use after SkinPen® treatment while the microscopic channels created during the procedure are healing. Using appropriate aftercare helps support your skin’s recovery and forms an important part of your treatment experience.
SkinPen® Microneedling involves minimal downtime compared with many more invasive skin treatments.
Immediately after treatment, you can expect:
These effects generally improve within one to two days, although individual healing times vary.
Most clients can return to their normal routine within a couple of days, provided they carefully follow the aftercare advice given during their appointment.
Many clients notice their skin appears brighter and fresher within the first few days.
However, SkinPen® works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, and collagen takes time to develop.
Improvements typically continue over the following weeks and months as your skin naturally remodels itself.
Because results develop gradually, SkinPen® delivers natural-looking improvements rather than dramatic overnight changes.
The number of treatments recommended depends on your individual skin concerns.
General guidance includes:
Many clients choose a course of three treatments to improve overall skin texture, tone and radiance.
Acne scarring often requires additional treatments to achieve optimal improvement. Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Collagen stimulation develops gradually, so a treatment course is often recommended to maximise long-term skin rejuvenation. Every recommendation is based on your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
SkinPen® is a premium, medical-grade treatment that reflects both the quality of the technology and the clinical protocols followed during every appointment.
Every treatment includes everything needed for a safe, genuine SkinPen® procedure with premium aftercare.
Pricing reflects the premium quality of the SkinPen® Precision Elite device together with genuine, single-use consumables used during every treatment for maximum safety and clinical results.
Depending on your skin concerns, SkinPen® Microneedling may form part of a broader skin health plan.
Following your consultation, I may recommend complementary treatments or professional homecare where appropriate.

Most clients find SkinPen® Microneedling very comfortable. Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to help minimise discomfort. During the procedure, you may experience a mild vibrating or scratching sensation, but it is generally well tolerated.
Your appointment length will depend on the treatment area and whether this is your first visit. Your initial appointment includes a detailed consultation before treatment to assess your skin and discuss your goals.
Most clients experience redness similar to mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Some people may also notice slight tightness or sensitivity as the skin begins its natural healing process. Recovery times vary between individuals.
Many clients notice brighter, healthier-looking skin within a few days. However, because SkinPen® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, improvements continue to develop over several weeks and months.
This depends on your skin concerns.
For general skin rejuvenation, a course of three treatments is commonly recommended. Clients with acne scarring or more advanced skin concerns may benefit from additional sessions following a personalised assessment.
Yes. SkinPen® is designed to stimulate collagen production, which can help improve the appearance of certain acne scars over time. During your consultation, I will assess your skin and advise whether SkinPen® is suitable for your particular type of scarring.
SkinPen® is suitable for many skin types, although every client requires an individual consultation to determine suitability. Factors such as your medical history, current skin condition and treatment goals will all be discussed before treatment begins.
You will receive personalised aftercare instructions following your appointment, including guidance on when it is appropriate to return to your usual skincare and makeup routine. Following these instructions is important to support the healing process.
Yes. Depending on your skin concerns, SkinPen® may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan alongside professional skincare or other skin treatments where clinically appropriate. This will always be discussed during your consultation.
Healthy skin is built over time, not overnight.
SkinPen® Microneedling supports your skin’s natural repair processes by encouraging collagen and elastin production rather than masking concerns temporarily. Whether your goal is to soften acne scars, improve skin texture, or restore a brighter complexion, a personalised treatment plan can help you work towards healthier skin with realistic expectations.
At The Skin Sanctuary by Donna Jones, every recommendation is based on your individual skin concerns, ensuring your treatment journey is tailored to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
I understand that every person’s skin is unique.
That is why I take the time to understand your concerns, explain your treatment options clearly and create a personalised plan designed around your goals.
Alongside advanced treatments, I may recommend professional homecare using Alumier MD products or discuss lifestyle factors that may support your skin health through my Nutrition service.
I aim to help you make informed decisions about your skin with honest advice and evidence-based treatments.
