Microneedling
Overview
Microneedling is an advanced cosmetic treatment that involves creating tiny microchannels in the skin using a sterile, handheld medical device equipped with fine needles. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and fibroblast cells. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion with a youthful glow.
Microneedling is highly effective for addressing various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Additionally, it enhances the absorption and effectiveness of topical skincare products, delivering longer-lasting results.
A comprehensive consultation between the client and clinician will take place prior to beginning treatment to ensure suitability and optimal outcomes.
What Can It Help With?
Microneedling can effectively improve a range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Stretch marks
Health Considerations
This treatment is not recommended if any of the following apply:
- Allergy to any filler components
- Allergy to lidocaine
- Active infectious skin conditions
- Active acne or rosacea
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Before your appointment, please ensure the following:
- Discontinue use of retinoids at least 3 days prior to treatment
- Avoid exfoliants and prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 hours before your session
Each session typically lasts between 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the treatment area. The skin is first thoroughly cleansed to maintain a sterile environment, and a topical numbing cream is applied for approximately 15 minutes to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
The microneedling process is carried out in a controlled and professional manner, focusing on areas such as the face and jawline. After treatment, a soothing mask is applied to calm the skin, followed by the application of a post-treatment serum, which clients are advised to continue using at home.
For optimal results, a course of six treatments is recommended, spaced four weeks apart.

Is Microneedling painful?
Microneedling can be uncomfortable, but most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin before the procedure to minimize any discomfort.
How many treatments are needed to see results?
The number of treatments needed to achieve optimal results can vary depending on the patient's skin concerns and the severity of the condition being treated. Typically, a series of three to six treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended for best results.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with microneedling?
Microneedling is generally safe, but some patients may experience redness, swelling, or mild bruising following the procedure. There is a small risk of infection, particularly if the skin is not properly cleaned and sanitized before the procedure.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is a suitable treatment for most people, but it may not be recommended for those with certain medical conditions, such as active acne or rosacea. It is important to consult with a qualified dermatologist or medical professional before undergoing microneedling to determine if it is the right treatment for you.
