Microneedling in Cardiff
Cardiff Gate SkinPen Clinic

What We Treat at Cardiff Gate

• Acne scarring — boxcar, rolling and ice-pick
• Fine lines and early wrinkles
• Open pores and uneven skin texture
• Stretch marks (body areas)
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Loss of firmness and elasticity

Genuine FDA-Cleared SkinPen

We use authentic SkinPen — the world's first FDA-cleared microneedling device — not roller or imitation pen systems.

Visible Skin Renewal

Smoother texture, firmer skin and reduced scarring over 4–6 weeks as new collagen and elastin form.

Suitable for All Skin Tones

Microneedling is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types — including darker skin tones that some laser treatments cannot treat.

Stimulates Natural Collagen

Rather than adding anything to the skin, SkinPen activates your skin's own renewal — for truly natural-looking results.

Qualified Cardiff Practitioners

Treatments are delivered by qualified, advanced-trained practitioners in our HIW-approved Cardiff Gate clinic.

Minimal Downtime

Mild redness for 24–48 hours, easily covered with mineral make-up. Most clients return to work the next day.

Before Your Treatment

• Stop retinol, AHAs and exfoliating acids 5 days before
• Avoid sun exposure and self-tan for 2 weeks before
• Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up
• Arrive with clean skin — no make-up on the area
