Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health. The treatment works by creating tiny micro-channels in the skin using a specialised microneedling device.
These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling can help improve a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant as new collagen forms.
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires little downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to improve their skin naturally.
Who Is This Treatment For?
This treatment may be suitable for individuals who:
• Want to improve overall skin texture and tone
• Have acne scars or uneven skin texture
• Are experiencing fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Have enlarged pores
• Want smoother, healthier-looking skin
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is commonly chosen by individuals looking for natural skin rejuvenation without surgery or fillers.
Why Choose Microneedling?

• Minimal downtime
The procedure is minimally invasive and most clients can return to their normal routine shortly after treatment.
AfterCare
Avoid Wearing Make-Up
Clients should refrain from applying make-up for at least 24 hours following treatment. This gives the skin time to recover and reduces the risk of product entering the injection sites, which could cause irritation or infection.
Delay Additional Treatments
Although patients may wish to enhance their results with further procedures, it’s important to allow the skin adequate time to heal. Additional treatments should be postponed for a minimum of two weeks. If visiting another practitioner, clients must inform them of their recent treatment, as the skin may remain more sensitive than usual.
Maintain Hydration
Encourage clients to drink plenty of water after treatment. Many skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which attracts and retains moisture. Staying hydrated helps to optimise and prolong the treatment’s benefits.
Limit Sun Exposure
Direct sun exposure should be avoided immediately after treatment, as it can increase inflammation and compromise the healing process. If sun exposure is unavoidable, clients should apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat.
Avoid Excessive Heat
Activities that expose the skin to high temperatures - such as saunas, steam rooms, or very hot showers - should be avoided during recovery. Excess heat can worsen swelling, bruising, and irritation.
Steer Clear of Certain Substances
Alcohol, smoking, and certain medications (such as ibuprofen) can increase the likelihood of swelling and bruising due to their effects on blood flow. Clients should avoid these for at least 24 hours post-treatment. For suitable pain relief options, they should consult a pharmacist.
Minimise Pressure and Touching
The treated area should be handled gently. Clients should avoid applying pressure - such as lying directly on the area - and refrain from unnecessary touching for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
Pause Strenuous Exercise
Intense physical activity should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment, as increased blood flow and perspiration may contribute to additional swelling or bruising. Light activities, such as gentle walking, are generally acceptable.
