Microneedling

Microneedling is a treatment often used to rejuvenate tired, dull looking skin. It is a non-invasive technique that uses needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This then encourages the skin to renew and refresh, as the skin repairs from the microneedling, collagen and elastin is released to create a fresh plumping effect. The skin specialist nurse uses the SkinPen precision – the first FDA-cleared microneedling device.

Microneedling can improve the texture and appearance of your skin, refresh and renew the way your skin looks and feels, and it also helps to reduce scarring, and can smooth fine lines.

What can Microneedling Treat?

There are a range of skin concerns that microneedling can be used to treat, after discussion with our skin specialist microneedling can be used to improve the following skin conditions.

Scarring – Because microneedling acts to create a repair response it can support the reduction of scarring by reducing the uneven texture of the skin created by scars, this also includes acne scarring, surgical scars, and stretchmarks.

Pigmentation – Pigmentation across the skin is common and can be caused by the natural ageing process and sun damage. Darker areas of the skin can be reduced as the skin renews after a microneedling treatment.

Wrinkles and Fine Lines – The tiny punctures created in a microneedling treatment forces the skin to renew, the natural collagen and elastin produced by this treatment plumps out the skin reducing those fine lines as it repairs.

Dull Skin – If you skin has a dull appearance then microneedling will refresh your skin, adding back that youthful glow on repair.

Open Pores – Enlarged pores can occur due to excess oil and as a result of lost collagen. Microneedling helps to stimulate collagen in and around pores helping your pores to shrink in size.

Visible results can often be seen after just one microneedling treatment. Your skin will be refreshed, and the results can be seen quickly after the skin heals. To refresh your skin, reduce fine lines, treat pigmentation or to reduce scarring talk to the Skin Specialist Nurse to find the right treatment for you.

The Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—is a minimally invasive, medical aesthetic procedure that delivers impressive skin‑rejuvenating results with minimal downtime. Here’s why it’s become a go‑to treatment for those seeking firmer, more radiant skin.

1. Stimulates Natural Collagen and Elastin Production
By creating ultra‑fine micro‑channels in the skin, microneedling harnesses your skin’s natural healing process, prompting increased collagen and elastin production that improves skin firmness and texture. This aids in softening fine lines, wrinkles, and overall sagging.

2. Effectively Targets Scars, Stretch Marks and Uneven Skin Tone
Whether it’s acne, surgical, or stretch‑mark scarring, microneedling encourages skin remodelling and renewal to lessen visible imperfections. It also helps fade hyperpigmentation and balances skin tone with controlled regenerative action.

3. Excellent for Enlarged Pores and Skin Texture
By promoting collagen around pore walls, microneedling helps refine the appearance of large pores and smooth out rough or uneven skin, delivering a more polished, renewed complexion.

4. Enhances Absorption of Active Skincare Ingredients
Those tiny micro‑channels act as roadways for topicals such as serums, hyaluronic acid, peptides, or RRT, allowing deeper and more effective penetration for amplified results .

Most Skin Types, with Low Risk of Pigmentation Issues
Unlike heat‑based treatments, microneedling avoids triggering post‑inflammatory pigmentation, making it safe for darker skin tones while reducing common risks associated with lasers.

6. Minimal Downtime and Natural Results
Many clients see a visible glow within just a few days. While mild redness and sensitivity are common, most choose to continue their day with minimal interruption. Results typically build across multiple sessions over the course of several months.

7. Flexible Treatment Options—Standalone or Enhanced
Microneedling on its own is highly effective, but when combined with RRT or potent serums, the rejuvenating benefits deepen—especially in improving texture, tone, and skin elasticity.
