Microneedling
Stimulate your skin's natural repair.
Stimulate your skin's natural repair process with professional microneedling. Improve texture, tone, and overall skin health with minimally invasive precision.
A regenerative procedure backed by around 30 years of scientific evidence, microneedling uses tiny sterile needles to prompt the skin to rebuild itself — increasing collagen and elastin, refining pores and fine lines, and helping to treat scars, stretch marks and uneven pigment.

Questions, answered
What is it?
A minimally invasive treatment using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production.
How does it work?
A handheld device delivers 2,000+ micro-punctures at varying depths. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing cascade without damaging the outer layers, prompting fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. The micro-channels also allow active serums to reach deeper layers of the skin.
What does it treat?
Fine lines and wrinkles; acne scars and textural concerns; enlarged pores; uneven tone or pigmentation. It can also help with skin quality and moisture, acne and rosacea, stretch marks, milia, and hair loss.
How many treatments do I need?
A course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 3–6 months.
What results can I expect?
Smoother, firmer, more radiant skin; reduced lines, scars and pores; improved tone and texture.
Is treatment painful?
Discomfort is mild — most describe a slight scratching sensation. Numbing cream is available.
What is the recovery time?
2–5 days of mild redness or sensitivity.
What are the side effects or risks?
Redness, swelling and pinpoint bleeding; itching; rarely, infection or pigmentation change. Home dermarollers are not advised — they are blunter and carry an infection risk.
Is it safe for everyone?
Not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active skin infection.
What should I do before my treatment?
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants and sunburn for 48 hours, and arrive with clean skin.
What should I do after treatment?
No make-up for 24 hours. Use gentle skincare and SPF, and avoid sun, saunas and intense exercise for 24–48 hours.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes — microneedling pairs well with serums, PRP, peels and laser.
