What is Microneedling?
Microneedling (also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy) is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage and ageing.
Microneedling may help address many skin-related complaints, including:
- wrinkles
- scarring
- acne
- alopecia
- skin pigmentation issues
- stretch marks
- rosacea
- loose skin, such as after weight loss or liposuction
- It may also help rejuvenate the skin.
Microneedling increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin.
Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and stretchy texture.
Aging causes the decline of collagen in the skin, contributing to wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Skin can also lose collagen due to injuries, such as acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars.
It is important to realize that microneedling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin. It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.
What are the risks?
The medical community generally considers microneedling to be safe and effective, but there are still some risks.
The primary risk is skin irritation after the procedure. Other side effects could include:
- swelling
- discomfort at the site
- redness
- bruising
- dryness
- flaking of the skin
- Bleeding is an uncommon reaction to microneedling, though it may be more likely to occur after a deeper treatment.
What results will I see from Micro-needling?
The benefits of having the treatment are significant, including:

How long does Micro-needling take to work?
Usually with a thorough consultation, treatment and aftercare given, the total treatment time takes about 75 minutes for the face and neck, but depending on other areas of the body treatment time may vary.
With minimal downtime, Micro-needling can be fitted in around your normal daily routine.
What is the downtime for the Microneedling treatment?
Erythema may last up to a maximum of 2 days post treatment. However, most clients are able to resume daily activities immediately after the Dermapen procedure. If there is any visible redness, makeup may be used 24 hours after the treatment to reduce this.
