Microneedling is a well-established skin treatment that supports the skin’s natural renewal. This page explains what it involves, who it may suit, and what to expect.
What Is Microneedling?
Also called collagen-induction therapy, microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting the skin’s natural repair response.
What It Can Address
Uneven texture, enlarged pores, mild acne scarring, fine lines, and general dullness.
How It Works
The micro-injuries trigger collagen and elastin production over the following weeks. A topical anaesthetic is usually applied beforehand for comfort.
Who May Be Suitable
Most skin types can be considered, but active infections, certain skin conditions, or a tendency to keloid scarring may rule it out — assessed at consultation.
Recovery
Expect redness and sensitivity similar to mild sunburn for a few days. We give you clear aftercare, including strict sun protection while skin recovers.
Potential Risks
Temporary redness, swelling, and pinpoint marks are common; infection or pigmentation changes are uncommon but possible — we explain all of this before treatment.
FAQs
Does it hurt?
With anaesthetic, most people find it very manageable.
How many sessions?
Your plan sets this out; texture concerns typically need a course, not a single session.
