Medical Microneedling is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that leverages the skin’s natural ability to heal itself. During the treatment, tiny needles penetrate the skin to a depth of up to 2mm (depending on area), creating micro-wounds that signal the body to produce new collagen and elastin fibres. This process boosts blood flow and growth factors which stimulate collagen formation, effectively reducing the appearance of scars, lines, and wrinkles and restoring a youthful glow.

Medical Microneedling offers a range of benefits by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production and circulation. This treatment effectively addresses:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Boosting collagen promotes a smoother, firmer complexion.
• Scars and Pigmentation: Reduces the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and pigmentation, creating a more even skin tone.
• Improved Skin Texture and Pore Size: Tightens and refines the skin’s surface, minimising visible pores.

To maximise results, we often incorporate specialised topical serums during the procedure, enhancing ingredient absorption and overall effectiveness.

After microneedling, it’s essential to follow aftercare guidelines to promote healing:

• Avoid Active Ingredients: Refrain from using retinol, AHA’s (e.g., glycolic acid), and other “active” ingredients for 2-3 days post-treatment.
• No Makeup for 24 Hours: This allows the skin to breath, heal and prevents irritation.
• Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight for 48 hours and wear at least SPF 20 daily for several weeks after treatment.
• Other Precautions: Avoid exercise, hot tubs, and saunas for 48 hours to prevent excess heat and irritation.

Medical Microneedling is exceptionally safe when performed by trained professionals. However, if you take blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin or warfarin), you may experience an increased risk of bruising. There is a minimal risk of infection or scarring, especially with more intensive treatments.

Medical Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and colours and can benefit sensitive skin by promoting skin thickening. However, it is not recommended for those who:

• Have used Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) within the last six months.
• Have active skin conditions (e.g., eczema, rosacea, acne) in the treatment area.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have had recent Botox, fillers, or chemical peels.
• Have open wounds, sunburn, or active infections in the area.
• Have a history of keloid scars, poor wound healing, or collagen vascular disease.

During your consultation, our team will carefully assess your skin and medical history to determine if microneedling is the best option for you.

Microneedling can cause mild discomfort, but it’s usually not considered painful. Most people describe the sensation as a slight prickling or scratching feeling.

A microneedling session usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the treated area.

Many clients notice initial improvements within a week, but optimal results usually develop over several weeks as collagen production continues.

There is minimal downtime, and any redness typically subsides within 24 hours. With a few aftercare precautions, you can resume normal activities.

For the best results, we generally recommend a course of 3-6 sessions spaced a four weeks apart. Your skin goals and needs will determine the ideal number.
