Microneedling (Dermapen®)
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
As your skin ages or undergoes stress from acne, sun exposure, or environmental damage, its natural regenerative abilities begin to slow. Microneedling using the Dermapen® device is a clinically backed way to reboot your skin’s renewal process.
Microneedling Treatment
By creating thousands of precise micro-injuries, the Dermapen® activates your body’s collagen response, tightens the skin, reduces pore size, and boosts the absorption of active ingredients applied during treatment. It's a minimally invasive yet highly effective alternative to laser or more aggressive procedures.
At Face Up Skin Studio, we offer advanced Microneedling treatment to naturally refresh your complexion by stimulating collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. Whether you’re looking to smooth acne scars, soften fine lines, or improve skin tone and texture, our medically led approach ensures visible, lasting results.
At our studio in Walthamstow, each session is carried out by Karolina Ahmed an experienced medical professional, ensuring your safety and comfort.

Acne Scarring & Enlarged Pores
Microneedling helps remodel the skin’s texture by promoting regeneration and collagen production. It’s particularly effective for acne-scarred or pitted skin.
Signs of Aging
By stimulating new collagen, Dermapen® reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, smile lines, and forehead wrinkles — helping you achieve smoother, more resilient skin.
Stretch Marks or Uneven Skin Tone
The treatment is suitable for more than just the face — microneedling can also be used on the body to address stretch marks and other forms of pigmentation or textural irregularities.
Sensitive or Reactive Skin?
We always carry out a detailed consultation to ensure treatment is tailored to your skin type, sensitivities, and concerns.
Most clients begin to see a healthy glow and firmer skin within a few days of their first session, with collagen and elastin production continuing to improve the skin over several weeks. Long-term improvement is typically observed after a series of 3 to 6 treatments.
While slight redness may occur post-treatment, most individuals return to daily activities within 24–48 hours. This treatment is ideal for those seeking impactful results without the downtime of ablative lasers or surgery.
