Microneedling
Price range: £150.00 through £750.00
Microneedling is a minimally invasive collagen induction treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process to improve texture, firmness, and overall skin quality. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, the treatment encourages collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture for a smoother, healthier, and more youthful complexion.
Treatment Recommendations
Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses ultra-fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin, activating the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the essential proteins responsible for maintaining smooth, firm, and youthful-looking skin. The micro-channels created during treatment also enhance the absorption of professional skincare serums, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, mild pigmentation, rough texture, and loss of skin elasticity. As the skin naturally repairs itself, it becomes smoother, firmer, more even in tone, and visibly refreshed, with gradual improvements continuing over the following weeks.
Prerequisites
A consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended before undergoing Microneedling to assess your skin concerns and determine your suitability for treatment. Please inform your practitioner of any medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, bleeding disorders, active acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin infections, recent cosmetic procedures, or medications that may affect skin healing. Avoid excessive sun exposure, retinoids, chemical exfoliants, waxing, and other potentially irritating skincare treatments for several days before your appointment. The treatment should not be performed on areas with active infections, open wounds, or significant inflammation until the skin has fully healed.
Additional Information
A Microneedling session typically takes 45–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and your personalised treatment plan. A topical numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure. Mild redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling are common immediately after treatment and generally resolve within 24–72 hours. Many clients notice healthier-looking skin within the first few weeks, while collagen production continues over the following months, resulting in improved skin texture, refined pores, softened scars, enhanced elasticity, and a naturally youthful appearance. For optimal and long-lasting results, your practitioner may recommend a personalised course of treatments together with a professional skincare routine, daily broad-spectrum SPF protection, and healthy lifestyle habits to maintain smooth, radiant, and healthy skin.

- Avoid direct and excessive sun exposure.
- Apply gentle skincare products recommended by your practitioner.
- Follow your practitioner’s personalised aftercare instructions.
Following days
Microneedling works progressively by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response and encouraging collagen and elastin production.
- Use gentle skincare products recommended by your practitioner.
- Keep the skin hydrated.
- Avoid harsh exfoliation and chemical treatments.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning.
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF as recommended.
- Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling the skin.
- Maintain a consistent professional skincare routine.
Long-term
Microneedling can support improved skin texture, refined-looking pores, smoother scars, enhanced elasticity, and a more even and radiant complexion as collagen production continues.
Your practitioner may recommend additional sessions depending on your skin condition, response to treatment, and aesthetic goals.
Maintaining daily SPF protection, good hydration, healthy lifestyle habits, and a suitable skincare routine can help support long-term skin health and prolong your results.
For optimum results, Microneedling should be performed according to the personalised treatment plan recommended by your practitioner.
A course of treatments may be recommended depending on your individual skin concerns and desired outcome. Additional maintenance sessions can help preserve improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.
Because microneedling stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improvements in skin texture, pore appearance, elasticity, scarring, and overall complexion develop progressively over the following weeks and months.
Top tip:
Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure and follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions carefully. Consistent SPF use, good hydration, gentle skincare, and avoiding irritating products can help maintain and prolong your results.

Benefits of Microneedling
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Microneedling activates the skin’s natural healing response, supporting collagen and elastin production for firmer and smoother-looking skin.
Improves skin texture and tone
The treatment can help refine rough or uneven skin texture and promote a more balanced-looking complexion.
Reduces the appearance of scars and pores
Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores, creating a smoother-looking skin surface.
Softens fine lines and wrinkles
By encouraging natural collagen regeneration, the treatment can help minimise the appearance of fine lines and early signs of ageing.
How It Works
Step 1: Consultation and skin assessment
Your practitioner will assess your skin concerns, medical history, skin condition, and treatment goals to determine whether Microneedling is suitable for you.
Step 2: Skin preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to maximise comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Microneedling treatment
A specialised microneedling device uses ultra-fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels across the targeted skin area, stimulating the natural healing response.
Step 4: Progressive skin renewal
The skin gradually produces new collagen and elastin, with improvements in texture, firmness, pore appearance, scarring, and overall radiance developing progressively over the following weeks and months.
