Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses ultra-fine sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This prompts the skin's natural healing response, encouraging fresh collagen and elastin for smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin over time.

What to expect

Every treatment starts with a consultation, so we can understand your skin and goals and make sure microneedling is right for you. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort before treatment. Afterwards your skin may look pink and feel warm or tight for 24 to 48 hours, much like mild sunburn. For the best results we usually recommend a course of treatments spaced around four weeks apart, with results continuing to build over the following weeks.

What can it help with?
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing

  • Uneven skin texture and enlarged-looking pores

  • Acne scarring and mild scarring

  • Dull or tired-looking skin

  • Uneven tone and mild pigmentation

Aftercare

Keep skin clean, avoid make-up for 24 hours, avoid heat, saunas and strenuous exercise for 48 hours, and use a high-SPF sunscreen daily. We'll give you full aftercare guidance on the day.
