It has been brought to our attention (through our patients and a variety of publications and articles) that some micro-needling pens have been banned in the UK.
Following yesterday’s announcement from the MHRA, that Microneedling pens:
The MHRA has stated, “Do not use affected devices as they have been manufactured to unknown standards and their safety cannot be verified”.
This has affected many clinics (not the Cambridge Clear Beauty) so we deemed it necessary to inform the public of some safety precautions they can take prior to their next micro-needling treatment. The report can be downloaded fully here.
Here at CCB, we use only SkinPen Precision which ensures patient safety first. The SkinPen® Precision has been granted clearance and marketing authorisation by the FDA for its medical grade micro-needling device used exclusively by healthcare professionals. This is the first and only micro-needling device in the industry to receive this important designation from the FDA. This implement offers the safest method of collagen induction therapy. With it being the world’s most advanced micro-needling device, it allows 3000 times more penetration than a topical solution because it is perforating deeper and renewing the cells beneath. Unlike a traditional facial, micro-needling works past the surface of the skin, which grants pro-longed results, leaving the skin more youthful, smoother and tighter.
Cambridge Clear Beauty uses SkinPen UK precision only for its micro-needling treatments. The total treatment time is 90 minutes (this includes the application of a topical anaesthetic cream 30 minutes prior treatment for optimal patient comfort).

So let’s have a look at 5 important things you should consider (and most definitely spend some well deserved time looking into) prior to your next treatment with a Micro-needling Pen in the United Kingdom and beyond.
When done properly, micro-needling is relatively risk-free and produces results with little to no downtime. The safest, most effective micro-needling devices use sterile, disposable needle cartridges that reduce the risk of cross-contamination

It’s one of the first parts of our body to betray the signs of ageing, but it’s also the one of the hardest spots to exercise: the neck and chin area. Sure, you can spend hours gurning away and twisting your head into all sorts of positions in an attempt to tone the neck muscles and get rid of that double chin, but more often than not it makes the matter worse.
What’s more, sagging neck muscles really age you by pulling the rest of the face down, making people look older than they really are. And due to the inability to get rid of the fat naturally, the only thing you can do with a double chin or a chook neck is to hope that turtle-necks never go out of fashion. That is, until now.
There are only two neck-fat treatments that have been approved by America’s Food and Drug Administration. One of them involves five monthly treatments, consisting of as many as 50 injections in the chin area per session.
The other is CoolSculpting, a revolutionary treatment that can eliminate the body fat that exercise and dieting can’t.
Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting is not a quick-fix fat reduction treatment: it’s the procedure that hones in on areas of stubborn fat that are nigh-on impossible to get rid of.
Instead of sucking fat out (only for it to return, if the client isn’t adhering to a healthy diet and exercise regime, it zones in on problem areas with incredible precision, destroys the fat cells by freezing them, and then leaves it up to your natural metabolic functions to flush them out safely and effectively.
And once gone, problematic fat cells don’t come back. CoolSculpting has been around for a while, but it’s only recently that the latest upgrade – the CoolMini – has made it possible to treat smaller areas like the neck and double chin.
