What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that punctures the skin with tiny, sterile needles. This treatment stimulates the body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.

How does Microneedling work?

During a microneedling session, a trained professional uses a handheld device or roller to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These trigger the release of growth factors and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The tiny punctures also enhance the absorption of skincare products.

What skin concerns does Microneedling address?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that improves the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. It can also help reduce the visibility of stretch marks and improve overall skin texture and firmness.

Pros, Cons and Comfort

Advantages include stimulating collagen, improving skin texture, and noticeable results with minimal downtime. It may cause temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity, and is not suitable for everyone. Most people feel only a mild prickling sensation, and topical numbing cream can minimise discomfort.

Sessions and Downtime

A session typically lasts 30 minutes to an hour. Most people need 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Afterward, mild redness, swelling and sensitivity usually subside within hours to a couple of days.
