What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an advanced, minimally invasive skin treatment designed to enhance the overall health, texture, and appearance of the skin. Using specialized, sterile needles, the treatment creates thousands of microscopic channels across the skin’s surface. These tiny, controlled channels not only trigger the skin’s natural regeneration process but also allow active skincare ingredients to penetrate more deeply and effectively, boosting their benefits.

This treatment is highly versatile and is commonly used to address a variety of skin concerns, including acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture, pigmentation issues, and loss of firmness. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling strengthens the skin from within, gradually improving its structure, resilience, and radiance. It is suitable for most skin types and is often incorporated into long-term skincare plans to maintain a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking complexion.

Our advanced microneedling treatment combines the regenerative power of PDRN with exosome therapy to deliver the ultimate skin renewal experience.

Micro-channels are created within the skin to stimulate collagen production, while PDRN works deeply to calm inflammation, accelerate healing, and restore skin health at a cellular level. The skin is then infused with Exosomes a— enhancing collagen synthesis, improving skin density, reversing skin aging and promoting a visibly smoother, brighter, youthful complexion.

This dual approach not only repairs and strengthens the skin but actively rejuvenates on a deeper level for dramatic results.

How Microneedling Works

A step-by-step approach to stimulating collagen and renewing your skin from within.

0.1.
Micro-Channels

Tiny, controlled micro-injuries are created within the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

0.2.
Regenerative Response

The skin enters its repair phase, increasing circulation and delivering essential nutrients to support collagen renewal.

0.3.
Collagen & Elastin

Fibroblasts are activated to produce new collagen and elastin, helping to firm, smooth, and strengthen the skin.

0.4.
Skin Renewal

Collagen production continues after your treatment, revealing smoother, firmer and radiant skin over the following weeks.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers a wide range of skin-rejuvenating benefits by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin within the skin. This process helps to strengthen and repair the skin from within, improving overall texture, firmness, and resilience. Over time, clients often notice smoother skin, refined pores, and a brighter, more even complexion, as well as improvements in fine lines and acne scarring.

Because microneedling works in harmony with the body’s natural healing response, results develop gradually and appear very natural. With a course of treatments, the skin continues to improve over time, making it an ideal option for long-term skin health, prevention, and maintaining a fresh, radiant appearance.

Microneedling FAQs

Microneedling can improve a wide range of skin concerns by stimulating natural collagen production. It is commonly used to treat acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, sun damage, and loss of firmness. The treatment helps strengthen the skin over time, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more refined complexion.
Most clients find microneedling very tolerable. It is usually described as a light vibration or gentle scratching on the skin. Some areas of the face may feel slightly more sensitive than others, but overall the treatment is well tolerated.

The skin may appear red and feel warm immediately after treatment, similar to mild sunburn. This typically settles within 24–48 hours, although some clients may experience light dryness or flaking for a few days as the skin renews itself.
The number of treatments recommended will depend on your skin concerns and goals. For general skin rejuvenation, a course of 3–4 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart is usually recommended. Concerns such as acne scarring or deeper lines may require additional sessions for optimal results.
Many clients notice an improvement in skin brightness and texture within the first week. However, because microneedling works by stimulating collagen production, the most significant improvements develop gradually over the following 4–6 weeks as new collagen forms within the skin.
It is best to avoid makeup for 48 hours after treatment to allow the skin to heal and to minimise the risk of irritation or bacteria entering the micro-channels. Once the skin has settled, mineral makeup is usually the best option when returning to cosmetics.
Once a course of treatments is completed, maintenance treatments every 3–6 months can help maintain collagen stimulation and keep the skin looking healthy, smooth, and radiant.
Microneedling is generally not suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Microneedling is suitable for most healthy adults who want to improve their skin texture, tone, or signs of ageing. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing acne scarring, early fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, or dull skin. A consultation will always be carried out before treatment to ensure microneedling is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
Microneedling is generally considered safe for most skin types and tones when performed by a trained professional. Unlike some resurfacing treatments, microneedling does not rely on heat or aggressive exfoliation, which makes it suitable for a wide range of complexions. Your practitioner will assess your skin and adjust the treatment depth and technique to ensure the safest and most effective results.
Microneedling may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions or medical concerns. The treatment is generally avoided if you have active acne breakouts, skin infections, open wounds, severe rosacea, or certain inflammatory skin conditions. It is also not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as a precaution. A thorough consultation will always be carried out to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment and side effects are usually mild and temporary. Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly warm, similar to mild sunburn. Some clients may experience light swelling, tightness, or mild flaking for a few days as the skin renews itself. These effects typically settle within 24–48 hours.
Yes — this can be done, but only when suitable for your skin. Dermaplaning is typically advised every 6–8 weeks, while microneedling is recommended every 4 weeks, so it may be incorporated every other visit for enhanced results.
You also have the option to book microneedling with or without dermaplaning, if you have sensitive skin we advise booking for Microneedling on its own to start.
