Medical Microneedling:

Rejuvenate and Restore Your Skin Naturally


Welcome to our approach to skin revitalisation with medical microneedling, a treatment that leverages your skin’s own healing powers. Microneedling helps to tackle fine lines, pigmentation, acne scars, and large pores by stimulating collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that keep skin firm and smooth.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These minuscule punctures are recognized by the body as “damage,” which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—natural components that help restore and rejuvenate your skin. Modern microneedling pens, which use disposable needle cartridges, allow us to tailor the treatment’s depth to your skin’s unique needs. This precision results in effective healing, minimized downtime, and consistently radiant results.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling has a broad range of benefits and can address various skin concerns, including:

  • Collagen Stimulation: Activates new collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin.
  • Smoother Texture: Reduces pore size and improves overall skin smoothness.
  • Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Softens fine lines and supports ongoing skin renewal.
  • Improved Acne Scarring: Helps diminish acne scars by remodelling underlying skin structure.
  • Pigmentation Treatment: Reduces uneven pigmentation and brightens the complexion.
  • Balanced Oil Production: Supports balanced oil levels, which can help reduce breakouts.
  • Safe for All Skin Tones: Since microneedling doesn’t involve heat, it’s suitable for all skin types and tones.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How does medical microneedling work?

Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, triggering a natural healing response. This “micro-injury” encourages the release of growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to repair skin concerns like scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles.

Can medical microneedling treat scars?

Yes, microneedling is one of the top treatments for scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and hypertrophic scarring. Depending on the type and severity of scarring, we may recommend a combination of treatments to achieve the best results.

What to Expect from Your Microneedling Treatment?

Microneedling sessions are quick, with minimal downtime. A series of treatments may be recommended based on your skin’s needs and your goals. For enhanced results, we also offer microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to supercharge healing, promoting even greater collagen production and skin renewal. Exosomes also enhance your results.

Post-Treatment Results

Results typically start to appear within 6-8 weeks post-treatment and will continue to improve over time as collagen and elastin levels build. For optimal rejuvenation, a series of 4-6 microneedling treatments is usually recommended, though many clients see noticeable improvements after a single session. For acne scarring or deep-seated wrinkles, additional treatments or a combination approach may yield the best outcome.

Advanced Microneedling Options

To further enhance microneedling’s benefits, we offer treatments like INTRAcel, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency for deeper skin tightening and collagen stimulation. Additionally, our Profractional laser treatments can help refine skin texture and reduce scarring.

How long does it take to see results?

Visible improvements often appear within 6-8 weeks after treatment and continue to develop over time. For best results, a series of 4-6 treatments is typically recommended, with ongoing improvements after each session. For acne scars, pairing microneedling with Laser Light Therapy, like BBL Hero, may provide further benefits.

Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?

Yes, microneedling can be effectively combined with other treatments for enhanced results. For example, the Pixel Peel combines microneedling with TCA peels for improved skin tone, texture, and reduction of scars and pigmentation.
