Microneedling is a clinically proven treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone and overall quality. By creating controlled micro-injuries within the skin, it stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, firmness and overall radiance. This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores and uneven skin tone, helping to restore a healthier, more refreshed appearance.

​

We use advanced microneedling techniques, which may be combined with targeted serums to enhance results and support skin regeneration.  Treatment approach and depth are tailored to your individual skin concerns, ensuring safe, effective and natural-looking improvements in skin texture and tone.

​

What to Expect

​

Treatment involves the use of a medical-grade microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and cellular renewal. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

​

You may experience mild redness immediately after treatment, similar to mild sunburn, which typically settles within 24–48 hours. Skin may feel slightly dry or tight as it begins to repair and renew.

Over the following weeks, you will notice gradual improvements in skin texture, tone and overall radiance. A course of treatments is often recommended for optimal results, depending on your skin condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

​

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone and overall quality.

​

What areas can be treated with microneedling?

Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck and décolletage, and may also be used on other areas of concern. It is particularly effective for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, acne scarring and enlarged pores.

​

What skin concerns can microneedling treat?

Microneedling can help improve a range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and dull or dehydrated skin. It works by supporting the skin’s natural repair process to create a smoother, more even complexion.

​

How many treatments will I need?

A course of 3–6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results. The number of sessions will depend on your individual skin concerns and desired outcome.

​

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

You may notice an initial improvement in skin radiance within a few days, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated. Results can be long-lasting, particularly when maintained with a course of treatments and good skincare.
