MICRONEEDLING
Needling micro-channels are created, your skin responds by:
• Producing more collagen and elastin (the building blocks of firm, youthful skin)
• Increasing cell turnover
• Absorbing skincare products much more effectively
Collagen is what keeps skin smooth, plump, and strong — but we naturally lose it as we age. Microneedling gently tells your skin, “It’s time to make more.”
​
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling is loved because it improves the overall quality of the skin, not just one concern.
Clients often see improvements in:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring and other scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Pigmentation and sun damage
The result? Smoother, firmer, brighter skin that looks healthy and refreshed — not “overdone.”
What skin concerns does microneedling treat?
Microneedling can help with:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Pigmentation
• Dull or tired-looking skin

​
Is Microneedling painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. A numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable.
​
How long does the treatment take?
A typical session lasts 45–60 minutes, including consultation, numbing time, and treatment.
​
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, warmth, or slight swelling for 24–72 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Some light flaking can occur a few days later.
​
When will I see results?
You may notice a glow within a few days, but collagen production takes time. Visible improvements usually appear after 3–4 weeks, with results continuing to improve over several months.
​
How many treatments will I need?
For best results, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended, depending on your skin concerns.
​
Is Microneedling safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional using sterile, medical-grade equipment. A full consultation is carried out to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.
​
Who is not suitable for Microneedling?
Microneedling may not be suitable if you are:
• Pregnant
• Prone to keloid scarring
• Experiencing active acne, infections, or skin conditions
• Taking certain medications (e.g. Roaccutane within the last 6–12 months)
A consultation will confirm suitability.
​
Can Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling pairs well with treatments such as chemical peels, LED light therapy, or skin boosters (timing dependent). Your practitioner will advise the best plan.
​
Is Microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones when performed correctly.
​
How long do results last?
Results can last several months. Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months help maintain collagen production and skin quality.
