What is Microneedling?
Laser results, without the laser
Microneedling is a powerful tool for skin rejuvenation — a state-of-the-art,
medical-grade, high-speed system that offers the same results as a fractional
laser, without the pain, downtime, expense or thermal damage.
By vertically piercing the skin, the device naturally induces your own collagen
production. That is what reverses years of sun damage, improves scarring and
lifts the overall appearance of ageing skin. It can be used to treat acne,
surgical scars, wrinkles and stretch marks, and it reduces pore size along the
way.
Does it really involve needles?
If the thought of multiple needle wounds sounds unsettling, it is worth knowing
how small we are talking. The punctures are very tiny — like pin-pricks
— and they only enter the skin at surface level. Most patients find the
treatment painless, because numbing cream is applied beforehand.
Your own collagen production is stimulated, rather than anything being added to the skin.
02
Dormant hair follicles
Microneedling stimulates dormant hair follicles, which is why it is used beyond the face.
03
Cellulite
It can also work to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
04
Quick now, better later
Results come fairly quickly, and the skin keeps improving over the months that follow.
What To Expect
Results, on a realistic timeline
Microneedling works with your own collagen, so it builds rather than arrives all
at once. Here is what that actually looks like.
Treatment 01
Almost immediate
Initial results show up quickly. Downtime is minimal, though you may see redness for 12 to 48 hours afterwards.
Treatments 02–03
Visible improvement
Usually you will notice some real improvement in the skin by the second or third treatment.
Treatments 04–06
Significant change
More significant results come after four to six treatments, spaced at six-week intervals.
6–12 months on
Still improving
With the proper skin care regimen, your skin keeps improving for six to twelve months after your treatments.
What It Treats
Microneedling can be used for
Because it works by inducing collagen rather than resurfacing from the outside,
one treatment addresses several very different concerns.
01
Scars
Acne scarring and surgical scars, improved as new collagen fills and softens the indentation.
02
Wrinkles
Fine lines and the signs of ageing, including years of accumulated sun damage.
03
Pores
Microneedling reduces pore size as a matter of course, alongside whatever else it is treating.
04
Smooth Skin
The overall result — an evener surface and a visibly better texture across the whole face.
Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling, answered plainly
Still unsure? Bring the question to your complimentary consultation —
there is no obligation to book a treatment.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most patients find microneedling painless and easily tolerable. A numbing cream
or anesthesia is applied to the skin before treatment, so there is almost no
feeling in the skin during the procedure itself.
How long does it take to see results?
Initial results are almost immediate, but you will not see your best results
until four to six weeks after the procedure — and the skin keeps improving
for months beyond that.
How much does microneedling cost?
Costs start from $100 and go up to $700 per session, depending on what is being
treated. Most treatments run around $300 per session on average. We will
confirm your cost at your consultation.
Is microneedling safe?
Microneedling is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, and it is
generally safe for most people in good overall health. It is
not suitable for people taking certain acne medications, or
for women who are pregnant.
What should I put on my face afterwards?
If your skin feels sensitive afterwards you can apply aloe, and take an Advil
for any sensation in the face. Avoid exfoliating products for the next 48
hours. After 24 hours it also helps to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 25 or
higher.
