MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a controlled skin-remodelling treatment that uses fine sterile needles to create thousands of precise microchannels within the skin. These controlled micro-injuries activate the skin’s natural wound-healing response, helping stimulate collagen and elastin production and supporting gradual tissue renewal.
It is commonly used to improve concerns such as acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, pigmentation, dullness and reduced skin firmness. Because the treatment works by stimulating the skin’s own repair mechanisms, improvement develops progressively rather than producing an artificial or volumising effect.

At a Glance
How does it work?
Controlled micro-injury
The device creates uniform microchannels within the skin at a depth selected according to the treatment area and concern. This controlled injury initiates the body’s normal wound-healing cascade.
Growth factor release
The micro-injury stimulates the release of growth factors and signalling molecules involved in tissue repair, cellular communication and regeneration.
Fibroblast activation
Fibroblasts are activated to produce new collagen, elastin and extracellular matrix components, helping strengthen and remodel the dermis.
Collagen remodelling
Over the following weeks, newly formed collagen reorganises within the tissue, supporting improvements in skin firmness, texture, pore appearance and scar quality.
Progressive skin renewal
The result develops gradually as the skin repairs and remodels itself. A course of treatments may be recommended where the aim is to address more established concerns such as acne scarring, textural irregularity or collagen loss.

What does microneedling treat? Microneedling helps improve acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture, mild skin laxity and overall skin quality by stimulating natural collagen production.
How does microneedling work? Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's natural healing response and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
How many microneedling sessions will I need? Most patients achieve the best results with a course of 3–6 treatments, depending on their skin concerns and goals.
When will I see results? Your skin may appear brighter within a few days, while improvements in texture, scarring and firmness continue to develop over the following weeks as new collagen forms.
Is there any downtime after microneedling? Yes. Redness similar to mild sunburn is expected for 24–72 hours. Some patients may also experience slight swelling, dryness or flaking during the healing process.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments? Yes. Microneedling is commonly combined with polynucleotides, PRP, exosomes or mesotherapy to enhance skin rejuvenation and support collagen production.
