Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, treat acne scars, or address uneven skin tone. It can be used on most skin types and is often recommended for those who want a non-surgical solution to skin rejuvenation. However, before the treatment, clients are required to complete a medical history form to ensure there are no underlying health concerns that could affect the safety or effectiveness of the procedure. This form helps identify conditions such as active skin infections, certain autoimmune disorders, or uncontrolled skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, which may need to be addressed before proceeding with microneedling.

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device with fine, sterilised needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and minimise scars.

During the procedure, we ensure the use of sterile, single-use needles and equipment to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort, and the microneedling device is gently moved across the treatment area. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly red and feel like mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few hours. With a few sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, you can expect smoother, firmer skin with visible improvements in texture and tone.

Typically, noticeable results from microneedling can be seen after 3 to 6 sessions, depending on your skin type and the specific concerns being treated. For mild issues like texture and tone, results can appear relatively quickly, but more complex concerns such as deep scarring or significant skin damage may require additional sessions. The improvement timeline varies because the skin’s pathology and healing response play a key role in how long it takes to see significant changes, with more stubborn areas often needing longer treatment.

After a microneedling session, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day. You may also experience some dryness or slight flaking as your skin heals. Full aftercare instructions, including how to protect your skin and optimise healing, will be thoroughly explained during your consultation to ensure the best results and minimise any risk of irritation or infection.
