SKIN NEEDLING
A COLLAGEN-SUPPORTING SKIN TREATMENT DESIGNED TO CREATE CONTROLLED MICRO-CHANNELS IN THE SKIN TO STIMULATE THE SKIN’S NATURAL REPAIR RESPONSE.
MICRONEEDLING CAN HELP IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF UNEVEN TEXTURE, POST-ACNE MARKS, ENLARGED PORES, FINE LINES AND OVERALL SKIN QUALITY.
-
Microneedling may be appropriate for clients experiencing:
acne scarring
rough or uneven texture
early visible signs of skin ageing
enlarged pores
reduced skin quality or firmness
residual post-inflammatory marking
It is not suitable for all skin presentations at all times. Active inflammation, significant barrier impairment, infection, or certain medical factors may require treatment to be deferred.
-
During treatment, the skin is treated in a controlled and methodical manner according to the treatment area and indication.
Following treatment, it is common to experience:
redness
warmth
mild swelling
skin sensitivity
temporary tightness or dryness
These effects are usually expected as part of the immediate post-treatment response and generally settle over the following days, depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response.
-
Microneedling is not an instant treatment and should not be viewed as a one-session correction for long-standing skin concerns.
It is important to understand that:
improvement is progressive
structural change takes time
not all scars respond equally
treatment often needs to be repeated at appropriate intervals
outcomes depend on skin behaviour, treatment consistency, and home care support
-
Post-treatment care plays an important role in recovery and treatment outcomes.
General aftercare may include:
use of gentle, non-active skincare
avoiding exfoliating acids, retinoids, and other irritants temporarily
applying broad-spectrum SPF daily
avoiding heat, sweating, and unnecessary skin friction immediately after treatment
following practitioner-specific aftercare instructions
Skin should be protected and supported while recovery is taking place.
Your skin does not need aggressive products after microneedling. It needs calm, hydration, protection, and time to repair.
