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).

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

If you’re experiencing the onset of ageing, or want to restore youthful vigour to your face – or just want to make the most of what you’ve got – you may be confused about the range of treatments on offer. With that in mind, here’s a brief guide to two of the most popular treatments on the market – Botox and dermal fillers.
Botox is a brand name for Botulinum Toxin – a natural protein that is deployed to temporarily relax muscles in the face that are the cause of lines and wrinkles. It’s been proven to be the safest and most tested product of its kind.
Dermal fillers are a supplement of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural additive that the body routinely produces to self-regulate the skin and keep it moisturised. As we get older, our natural supplies diminish – hence the need to ‘top up’ the facial area with HA.
Both procedures consist of a consultation session, where clients express their desired results, followed by a course of injections. There may be slight bruising and swelling immediately afterwards, but can be easily hidden with make-up.
Botox targets the lines in a client’s face caused by facial expressions, and the duration of results lasts from three to six months, depending on various factors. Dermal fillers has less of a job to do and is more of a gradual treatment – meaning the results last for up to 18 months – and in some cases, as long as two years.
If you want to get rid of facial lines and wrinkles on a budget, Botox is the obvious choice, as it targets problem areas with fast results at a lower cost. If you’re looking to eliminate lines and wrinkles while also replenishing the volume to your face over a longer period of time, dermal fillers are the best bet.
Whatever treatment you choose, Cambridge Clear Beauty has the solution. For more information, get in touch with us at your earliest convenience and we’ll be able to talk you through both processes in further detail.
