What is Micro-needling and Benefits?

Micro-needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the skin's natural healing process. By creating tiny micro-injuries with a specialized pen device, collagen and elastin production is boosted, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

Micro-needling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective. With regular treatments, you can achieve a more youthful complexion with improved skin tone and texture.

What serums?

We tailor the serum used during your treatment based on your skin concerns. Some of the most popular serums include:

  • Hyaluronic Acid – Deep hydration and plumping effect
  • Vitamin C – Brightening and antioxidant protection
  • Growth Factors / Skin Boosters – For advanced anti-ageing and regeneration
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Known as the “vampire facial” for healing and rejuvenation using your own blood
  • Niacinamide – Reduces inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier

During your consultation, we’ll choose the best serum for your specific skin needs.

Procedure and Expectations

During a Micro-needling session, a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. The procedure typically takes 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may experience redness and mild swelling post-treatment, but these effects subside within a few days. For optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

FQA’s

What areas can be treated?

Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and body. It’s effective for treating acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation, and dull or uneven skin texture.

 

How many sessions will I need?

A course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended for best results. Maintenance treatments every few months help keep your skin in peak condition.

 

When will I see results?

Some clients notice a glow and smoother skin within a few days, but collagen production continues over the next 4–6 weeks. Results improve with each session and are cumulative.

 

Is there any downtime?

You may experience redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24–72 hours. It’s best to avoid makeup, sweating, and sun exposure during this time. Your skin will start to visibly improve within the first week.

  • Rosacea or eczema flare-ups
  • Those on certain medications like blood thinners or Accutane
