Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that stimulates the skin's natural healing response. Using a device fitted with fine sterile needles, controlled microchannels are created within the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin.

Over time, this helps improve skin quality, texture and overall skin health.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of

skin concerns, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scarring
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture
Sun damage
Pigmentation
Stretch marks
Dull or tired-looking skin

How Does It Work?

The tiny controlled micro-injuries created during treatment stimulate the skin's repair process. As new collagen and elastin are produced, the skin becomes firmer, smoother and more radiant.

Microneedling also enhances the absorption of active skincare ingredients, allowing targeted products to penetrate more effectively.

What Results Can I Expect?

Most patients notice improved skin radiance and texture within a few weeks. Collagen production continues for several months following treatment, with progressive improvements in skin quality.

For concerns such as acne scarring or significant skin ageing, a course of treatments is usually recommended.

Is There Any Downtime?

Immediately after treatment, the skin will appear red, similar to mild sunburn. This usually settles within 24–48 hours. Some patients may experience mild dryness or roughness as the skin renews itself.

Most people return to normal activities the following day.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments required depends on your skin concerns and goals.

Skin rejuvenation: 3–4 sessions
Acne scarring: 4–6 sessions
Maintenance: every 3–6 months

A personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
