Microneedling
About this treatment
Microneedling uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. This encourages the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells. As skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect.
Needles can be varied in length depending on what depth of treatment is required and different devices used depending on the size of the area and intensity required. Ideal for intensive rejuvenation e.g. on smokers lines, general rejuvenation of the face or other skin damage such as scarring, acne scarring and stretch marks. Medical Microneedling is carried out by either our doctor or nurse.

The procedure
- The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, dirt, and oils.
- In some cases, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort, especially for deeper treatments.
- The device is moved across the treatment area, and the tiny needles penetrate the skin.
- There might be some redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days.
- Microneedling often requires a series of sessions, typically spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the desired results.
