Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling – Rejuvenate, Repair & Restore
Microneedling is a scientifically backed, minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by boosting natural collagen and elastin production. Using fine, medical-grade needles, the treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s healing response. As your skin repairs itself, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
In fact, clinical studies show that just four sessions can boost collagen production by up to 400%, making microneedling one of the most effective non-surgical solutions for long-term skin health and visible transformation. This intensive, collagen-stimulating treatment is not just for the face—it can be used almost anywhere on the body to improve a wide range of concerns. From softening fine lines and wrinkles to evening out skin tone, fading stretch marks, reducing scarring (including acne and surgical scars), and even supporting hair restoration, microneedling delivers real, long-lasting results. Recognised as one of the most popular and trusted treatments in advanced skincare, microneedling offers a powerful yet natural way to restore your skin’s vitality and glow.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin in detail and advise you on the most suitable treatment pathway to achieve your desired outcome. Depending on your skin concerns and desired outcomes, a course of 4 or 6 treatments is normally recommended for best results
To get the most out of your treatment, a good "at home" skin care regime is recommended.

FAQ
Benefits
Many changes happen to the skin as it ages, including a rougher texture, loss of collagen, thinning of the epidermis (making the skin appear more translucent), thinner blood vessel walls (making bruising more likely), and a tendency for the skin to become dryer. The main goal of the Collagen Therapy Microneedling procedure is to repair damaged skin by introducing the right amount of needles into the different levels of the skin to promote the production of natural collagen and elastin fibers. This process repairs damaged skin and lessens the visibility of skin imperfections. Microneedling has many benefits and can improve: • Premature skin ageing • Scaring and acne scars • Stretch marks • Reduce the appearance of cellulite • Hyperpigmentation • Age spots • Acne • Large pores • Hair loss • Fine lines and wrinkles • Tightening of the skin • Skin rejuvenation
Side Affects
After your microneedling treatment, your skin will be red and flushed in appearance. You may experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on the area being treated. This will diminish greatly after a few hours following treatments and within the next 24 hours the skin will be completely healed. Side-effects after microneedling treatments are extremely low.
