Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that utilizes fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This treatment is particularly effective for reducing acne scars and improving overall skin texture and firmness.
Introduction
Microneedling is a scientifically backed, minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing process to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. By creating micro-injuries in the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, making it highly effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.
“ Very warm welcome. I was very pleased with the outcome of my treatment. Looking forward to Saturday and next Monday when I will ve having more treatment. ”

The Science Behind Microneedling
- Phase 1 – Inflammation:
- Micro-injuries activate the immune system, increasing blood flow and triggering growth factors to repair damaged skin.
- Phase 2 – Proliferation:
- Fibroblasts (skin-repairing cells) stimulate new collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer skin.
- Phase 3 – Remodelling:
- Newly formed skin tissue replaces damaged skin, improving texture, tone, and reducing scars or wrinkles.
Anaesthesia
Topical anaesthesia is applied before the procedure to enhance comfort.
Side Effects
Possible redness, swelling, and mild discomfort similar to a sunburn, typically resolve within a few days.
Treatment Time
Approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated area.
Target Areas
Face, neck, and other areas needing rejuvenation.
Downtime
Minimal; some redness may last a few days, but most patients can resume normal activities quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll notice improved skin texture and glow within 1–2 weeks, but full results appear after 4–6 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Results last 6–12 months with proper skincare. Maintenance sessions every 4–6 months are recommended.
Mild discomfort is possible, but numbing cream significantly reduces any sensation.
It’s best to wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation and allow the skin to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
The microneedling device glides across the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that promote collagen and elastin production. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother and firmer, reducing the appearance of scars and fine lines.
Effective for treating stretch marks, improving skin elasticity, and enhancing the absorption of topical products.
Usually performed every 4-6 weeks for optimal results.
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, which leads to tighter, smoother skin.
