Microneedling (Raffine Pen)

Microneedling with the Raffine medical-grade device is a powerful yet controlled way to encourage your skin to renew itself. By creating precise micro-channels in the surface, this treatment helps to soften fine lines, improve the look of scarring, refine pores and boost overall radiance – with minimal downtime compared to more aggressive procedures.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a professional skin treatment that uses very fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries across the skin’s surface. In response, your skin naturally increases its production of collagen and elastin – the fibres that keep it firm, smooth and resilient.

At Doyle Skin, we use the Raffine microneedling pen, a high-quality, medical-grade device designed for precision and comfort. Depth can be adjusted to suit different areas and concerns, allowing us to tailor each treatment to your individual skin.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your treatment starts with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns, medical history and previous treatments. We’ll examine your skin closely and agree the focus areas – such as cheeks, forehead, scarring or pigmentation.

The skin is cleansed and prepped. A numbing cream may be applied for added comfort, particularly for deeper work or more sensitive areas. Once this has taken effect, the Raffine pen is prepared with a new, sterile needle cartridge.

The pen is moved methodically across the skin, creating tiny, controlled channels at a depth tailored to your needs. You may feel a scratching or prickling sensation, but most clients tolerate the treatment well – especially with numbing.

Tiny, hard white bumps usually found around the eyes, cheeks or forehead.

To an English person, it will seem like simplified English. Their separate existence is a myth. The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental. To an English person, it will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of mine told me what Occidental is. The European languages are members of the same family. 

Calming, hydrating products are applied to support the skin post-treatment, and LED Light Therapy may be recommended as an add-on to reduce redness and support recovery. You’ll leave with clear aftercare instructions and product advice.

What Clients Say About Microneedling

5/5

“ I had a fantastic experience with Sharon for my skin tag removal and skin peel treatment. She was incredibly professional and made sure I understood what was happening at every stage, which really helped me feel comfortable. Since the treatment, I've had so many compliments on how healthy and radiant my skin looks. I'm really looking forward to continuing my skincare journey with her."

5/5

“I had put off having this done for about two years but I knew Sharon was the woman for the job. She totally put me at ease at the initial consultation and talked me through every step of the way during my appointment she was super friendly and chatty which took my mind off the procedure. Sharon seemed to genuinely care that I was always comfortable and that I would be happy with the results which I really was. Would totally recommend and will definitely be back again soon”

5/5

"Sharon was highly knowledgable and wasn't pushy with anything. My skin has never looked as good! The environment was super clean and clinical yet the welcome was lovely and warm and friendly."

Allow around 60–75 minutes for your visit, including consultation, numbing time, treatment and post-care.

Many people notice a fresher look within a week, with texture and scarring continuing to improve over the following weeks as collagen is produced. Courses offer the best outcome for deeper concerns.
