MEDICAL MICRONEEDLING

Medical microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone, scars, fine lines, and overall skin health.  

Medical microneedling can be used on several areas to improve skin quality and texture, including:

• Face – for fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and overall rejuvenation

• Neck – to improve crepiness and firmness

• Décolletage (chest) – to smooth sun damage and fine lines

• Hands – to improve texture and signs of aging

• Scalp – to support hair thinning concerns

• Body areas (such as abdomen, thighs, or hips) – to improve scars and stretch marks

A consultation helps determine the best areas to target based on your specific skin concerns and goals.

What results should I expect with medical microneedling?

A medical microneedling treatment typically takes 45–60 minutes in total.
This includes skin preparation with the microneedling procedure itself usually lasting 30-40 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. The treatment also includes LED light therapy to finish. 

The science behind medical microneedling is based on the skin’s natural healing process. Tiny, controlled micro-injuries trigger the release of growth factors and stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. As the skin repairs itself, its structure becomes stronger and smoother, improving texture, scars, and fine lines. Microneedling also enhances the absorption of active skincare ingredients, boosting overall results.

With medical microneedling, you can expect:

• Smoother skin texture and a more even tone

• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Improvement in acne scars, pigmentation, and stretch marks

• Firmer, more youthful-looking skin from increased collagen and elastin

• Enhanced glow and skin quality over time

Some results may be visible after one session, but the best outcomes typically develop gradually over several weeks and with a course of treatments, as collagen continues to rebuild.

Common side effects of medical microneedling are usually mild and temporary, and may include:

• Redness and warmth (similar to mild sunburn)

• Slight swelling or tenderness

• Pinpoint bleeding during the treatment

• Dryness or flaking as the skin heals

These effects typically settle within 24–72 hours. Less common side effects include temporary bruising, sensitivity, or breakouts. Serious complications are rare when the treatment is performed by a trained professional and aftercare instructions are followed.

If you’re looking to improve skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, or overall skin firmness. It’s generally safe for most skin types and tones.

However, it may not be suitable if you are pregnant, have active acne, infections, eczema, psoriasis, open wounds, or certain medical conditions, or if you’re prone to keloid scarring. A professional consultation is always recommended to assess your skin, medical history, and treatment goals before proceeding.

This will depend on which areas you wish to be treated and will be discussed at consultation.
