In brief
- With the Dermapen we make fine channels in your skin and bring the Meso Cocktail Collagen deep into your skin: vegan collagen fragments and Matrixyl peptides.
- There they trigger your own production of collagen and elastin. In the weeks after your treatment your skin becomes firmer and smoother.
- For skin ageing our clients choose this variant most often. Ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid hydrates and softens fine lines.
- The treatment costs €99.00 and takes fifty minutes. You do a course of four to six sessions, with three to four weeks in between.

Applying collagen or making collagen?
Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin firm and resilient. From your mid-twenties your skin makes a little less of it each year, and you see that as fine lines, skin that bounces back less and a softer jawline. Rubbing collagen on does little about that: the molecule is too big to get through your skin.
That's why this treatment works differently. With the Dermapen we make fine channels in your skin, and through those channels we bring the Meso Cocktail Recombinant Collagen III+IV deep into your skin. Those are vegan collagen fragments and Matrixyl peptides, substances that prompt your skin to make its own collagen and elastin. So your skin does the work itself, right where it's needed.
Ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid in the same cocktail hydrates and softens fine lines. In the weeks after your treatment your skin becomes firmer and smoother, and the collagen keeps building in the months after that. For skin ageing our clients choose this variant most often.
What clients choose this variant for.
Fine lines
Lines around your eyes and mouth that stay when you relax. Collagen replenishes the skin underneath from within. Also read what we write about fine lines.
Skin that bounces back less
A softer jawline, cheeks that sag a little, skin that comes back more slowly after you press it. See loss of firmness for what can and can't be done about this.
First signs of ageing
If you mainly want to prevent rather than repair, this is a good time to start. You set your skin to work while it still makes plenty of collagen.
Dull, tired skin
Through the renewal the treatment sets in motion, your skin looks smoother after a course and reflects the light better.
Fifty minutes from cleansing to protection.
Cleansing and numbing
We cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a numbing cream, which soaks in for twenty minutes. During the treatment you therefore mainly feel vibration and a slightly scratchy sensation.
Microneedling with the cocktail
Zone by zone we go over your face, each time with the depth that suits that area. Meanwhile we apply the collagen cocktail. Your skin turns pink to red, and that's part of it.
Calming and protecting
Finally we apply something calming and a protective layer. After Collagen we recommend LED therapy, for €20.00 and twenty minutes extra: the light dampens redness and helps your skin recover faster.
The recovery
Your skin is red for one to two days, roughly like after a sunny day. Make-up is fine from the third day, but ideally you leave it off for two weeks. Everything about the days after is under microneedling.
What a course ends up costing you.
You do a course of four to six sessions, with three to four weeks in between. You pay per session and decide for yourself each time whether to continue.
| Treatment | Per session | Usual course | Full course (estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microneedling with collagen | €99.00 | 4 to 6 sessions | €396.00 to €594.00 |
With LED therapy added, there's €20.00 per session on top. You pay afterwards in the salon, by card or in cash.
When collagen suits and when we choose something else.
A good idea if
- You see fine lines or skin that bounces back less, and you want to work on that from within.
- You're willing to put a course and a home routine into it.
- You want to get ahead of ageing and prefer to start in time.
Check with us first
- Dry or tight skin as the main complaint. Then hyaluronic acid is often a better first step.
- Scars or skin that needs repair. Then we're more likely to choose PDRN.
- Just been in the sun or on a sunbed. Then we wait about two weeks.
- Acids or retinol at home. Stop those a few days beforehand.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or medication for your skin. Let us know beforehand, then we discuss what's possible.

Book an appointmentFrequently asked questions about microneedling with collagen
What does microneedling with collagen cost in Enschede?
At Moons, microneedling with the Meso Cocktail Collagen costs €99.00 per treatment, and it takes fifty minutes. For a course, count on four to six sessions.
What's the difference from regular microneedling?
The technique is the same: with the Dermapen we make fine channels in your skin. The difference is in the Meso Cocktail we work in with it. With this variant those are collagen fragments and peptides, aimed at firmness and lines. The other variants are under microneedling.
When will I see results?
In the weeks after your treatment your skin becomes firmer and smoother. The collagen keeps building in the months after that, so the result grows over the whole course.
How long will I be red?
Usually one to two days, roughly like after a day in the sun. So don't plan your appointment right before an important occasion.
Collagen or PDRN, which do I choose?
Clients choose collagen most often for ageing: lines and skin that bounces back less. PDRN is aimed at repair and is often chosen for scars and from 35. If in doubt, we choose together at your appointment, based on your skin.
