What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the essential proteins responsible for skin’s firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance.

How Microneedling Boosts Collagen Levels

• As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin density. Microneedling combats this by:
• Activating Fibroblasts: The micro-channels created during treatment signal fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) to regenerate and repair the skin.
• Enhancing Product Absorption: The procedure increases the skin’s ability to absorb collagen-boosting serums, amplifying results.
• Long-Term Remodelling: Over time, new collagen fibres reorganise, improving skin texture, reducing scars, and restoring a plump, radiant complexion.

Benefits of Collagen Stimulation from Microneedling:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, younger-looking skin.
• Improves acne scars and uneven texture by promoting tissue renewal.
• Tightens pores and enhances skin elasticity for a firmer appearance.
• Revitalises dull skin with a natural, healthy glow.

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. A numbing cream is applied for comfort before a sterile microneedling device glides over the skin. Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness or sensitivity (similar to a sunburn), but this subsides within 24–48 hours. Optimal results develop over weeks as collagen rebuilds, with a recommended series of 3–6 sessions for transformative effects.

Who is it For?

Ideal for all skin types and concerns, microneedling is a versatile solution for anyone seeking to:

• Reverse signs of aging.
• Repair sun damage or acne scarring.
• Enhance overall skin quality without surgery or downtime.

Aftercare Tips for Maximising Collagen Production:

• Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+.
• Use hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid or peptides.
• Skip harsh actives (e.g., retinols, acids) for 3–5 days post-treatment.

Combine for Enhanced Results

Pair microneedling with growth factor serums or polynucleotide treatments to further accelerate collagen synthesis and skin rejuvenation.
