Our microneedling treatments
At The Faculty, we use only the most well-documented and safe microneedling equipment available on the market. The method and depth we use are carefully tailored to your individual needs.
Dermapen 4 and SkinPen
These are world-leading, CE-marked and FDA-approved devices (such as Collagen PIN). They oscillate at an extremely high speed and can be adjusted in depth from 0.25 mm down to 2.5 mm, depending on whether we are treating thin skin around the eyes or deeper scars on the cheeks.
Active microneedling serums
As the needles create channels, we infuse bespoke, sterile serums packed with hyaluronic acid, peptides or antioxidants. The channels increase the absorption of these substances by up to 300% compared to when they are applied to the surface.
Gentle approach
Older methods, such as manual derma rollers, risked tearing the epidermis because the needles moved in and out at an angle. Our modern tools, such as the Dermapen, penetrate the skin vertically at a 90-degree angle at tremendous speed (up to hundreds of punctures per second). This minimises damage to the epidermis, keeps the skin barrier intact and makes the treatment incredibly gentle. This ensures a quicker recovery and eliminates the risk of unwanted scarring.
A clinic full of expertise
Perforating the skin is a medical procedure that requires strict hygiene and anatomical expertise. Recently, there has been an increase in searches for ‘microneedling at home’ or ‘best dermapen for home use’. We strongly advise against using a so-called microneedling pen for home use. Home devices cannot be properly sterilised in an autoclave (as in a clinic), the needles quickly become blunt and risk tearing the skin, and incorrect depth over bony areas can cause permanent damage or serious infections. At The Faculty, you will meet our qualified skin specialists who use sterile, single-use cartridges in a clinical environment. Your safety and the health of your skin can never be compromised.
Price for microneedling
The exact cost will be determined during your consultation, depending on the treatment area and whether you choose the classic Dermapen. To achieve structural changes in the skin, a course of several treatments is usually the most effective option.

Pre-microneedling consultation
Your journey to stronger skin always begins with a personalised consultation with one of our specialists. We carry out an in-depth analysis of your skin’s condition, assess any scars or lines, and review your medical history. We explain objectively how the method works physiologically, what the healing process involves, and what you can expect.
You will receive a specific treatment proposal based on your body. After the consultation, you have a statutory reflection period of at least 48 hours to decide in peace and quiet whether you want to give your consent.
Microneedling: Step by step
To make sure you know exactly what to expect, we have a very clear process from the first meeting to the final check.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
We examine your skin barrier to rule out any active inflammation. We adjust the needle depth individually for different areas of the face; the forehead requires a shallower depth, whilst the cheeks can tolerate a deeper one to reach the scar tissue.
Before your procedure
Preparations for safe treatment
The skin is thoroughly double-cleansed and disinfected. If we are to work deeper into the skin, we apply a medical numbing cream and leave it to take effect for around 20 minutes, which makes the treatment very gentle and comfortable.
The day of treatment
Safe care at the clinic
We apply a highly concentrated, clinical serum (often hyaluronic acid) to the area. This acts both as a lubricant for the pen and as a nourishing agent that is delivered directly into the thousands of micro-channels created.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
Once the entire area has been treated, the skin is gently cleansed again. We often apply a sterile, cooling biocellulose mask to the face. This immediately soothes the treated area, reduces redness and locks in moisture. sun protection.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
Immediately afterwards, your skin will be red, much like after a severe sunburn. Aftercare following microneedling is extremely important. You must not touch your face, apply make-up or engage in any strenuous exercise for the next 24 to 48 hours, to allow the micro-vessels to close undisturbed and to prevent infection.
Our specialists
At The Faculty, we draw on our collective expertise. Setting the correct needle depth and assessing skin thickness requires extensive training. Our registered nurses and skincare therapists keep up to date with the latest medical findings. This specialist knowledge forms the basis for you receiving safe and effective treatment using the best equipment on the market.
Who can undergo the treatment?
To undergo a cosmetic procedure with us, you must be at least 18 years old and have generally healthy skin. The method is suitable for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI) as it does not use heat that could affect pigmentation, which is a major advantage compared to certain lasers. However, there are certain conditions under which we refrain from treatment. For example, we do not perform the treatment on pregnant or breastfeeding patients due to hormonal changes, an increased risk of pigmentation, and the lack of clinical studies on the effects on the foetus. Nor do we treat skin with active acne (inflamed spots), open wounds, active rosacea, or if you have a history of keloid scarring.
Our clinics
The Faculty combines medical safety with a welcoming environment. Our state-of-the-art clinic at Hangövägen 20 is one of the few plastic surgery clinics in Sweden that is built to proper hospital standards. For skin care and injection treatments, you are welcome to visit our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in central Stockholm. All operations are based on medical expertise and proven experience to offer a safe process from the first visit to the last follow-up.
Payment guarantee and insurance
Transparency is a cornerstone of everything we do. As a healthcare provider registered with the IVO, you are always covered by our patient insurance when you receive treatment with us. During your consultation, you will receive a precise cost estimate and information about our secure and flexible payment plans.

Frequently asked questions about microneedling
Frequently asked questions about microneedling and Dermapen.
What is the difference between Dermapen and SkinPen (what is Dermapen)?
Both are world-leading, medically certified brands in the field of microneedling pens, with extremely high standards of sterility and performance. The principle is the same; the difference lies primarily in the manufacturers. We use only the absolute safest and most modern equipment, regardless of the specific brand.
Dermapen isn't working for me – why is that?
If a patient feels that Dermapen treatment in Stockholm or elsewhere has not produced results, this is often due to two factors: an incorrect (too shallow) needle depth at the clinic, or unrealistic expectations regarding the timeline. Collagen takes up to six months to mature. A single treatment provides a glow, but reducing deep scars or wrinkles requires a dedicated course of treatment.
What should I bear in mind after microneedling (aftercare for microneedling)?
Avoid touching your skin, taking hot showers, using a sauna, or exercising for the first 48 hours. Your skin is like an open sponge. Do not apply any make-up until at least the following day. You must also stop using active skincare products (such as retinol, BHA/AHA acids) for about a week, and strictly use SPF 50 every day.
Can I buy a microneedling serum and do it at home?
We strongly advise against any form of home treatment. Needles sold for home use are rarely sterile and quickly lose their sharpness. Pressing unclean products into open wounds can cause serious bacterial infections and leave you with permanent scars on your face instead of healing them.
How often should you have microneedling (how often should you have microneedling)?
It depends on the specific condition. For general skin rejuvenation and revitalisation, we recommend leaving approximately 4–6 weeks between sessions. If we are treating deep acne scars, the interval may be adjusted slightly. Your practitioner will draw up a detailed plan during the consultation.
Is microneedling or laser treatment the best option?
Both methods are excellent. Lasers, such as fractional lasers, use light and heat to vaporise the skin and stimulate new growth. This sometimes produces faster results but involves a longer recovery time and a higher risk of pigmentation changes in darker skin types. Microneedling is a mechanical procedure, extremely safe for all skin tones and involves a shorter recovery period.
