about this
Treatment
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates millions of controlled micro-channels in the skin using fine, sterile needles. This activates the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
As the skin repairs and remodels, microneedling can help improve skin texture, soften the appearance of fine lines and acne scars, and promote a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
Results develop gradually as collagen remodelling takes place, with a course of treatments often recommended for optimal improvement.
INDICATIONS
Microneedling can address a range of skin concerns by supporting the skin's natural repair and renewal processes.
Depending on your individual skin needs, treatment may help improve the appearance of:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scarring
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Dull, tired-looking skin
Mild skin laxity
Certain types of surgical scars
MICRONEEDLING WITH PDRN
For enhanced skin rejuvenation, we offer the option of combining microneedling with INNOAESTHETICS DNA PEPT-HA, an advanced skin revitalisation formula containing PDRN (Salmon DNA), hyaluronic acid, biomimetic peptides and glutathione.
This combination is designed to support skin regeneration, stimulate collagen production, deliver deep hydration and improve skin elasticity. It targets concerns such as fine lines, dullness, uneven texture and loss of firmness, helping to promote smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking skin.
An ideal addition for clients wanting to focus on overall skin quality and rejuvenation.

suitability
Microneedling is suitable for those wanting to improve skin texture, clarity, and early visible signs of ageing. A consultation is required to assess suitability, medical history, and treatment goals.
aftercare
Following treatment, the skin may appear flushed and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically settles within 12–24 hours.
Avoid heat, active skincare, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment. Full aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment.
Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. SkinPen microneedling can improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring by stimulating the skin's natural collagen production. The number of treatments required depends on the type and severity of scarring, and some scars may benefit from additional treatment approaches.
-
SkinPen microneedling can be suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. However, certain conditions, including active skin infections, inflamed acne or impaired wound healing, may mean treatment needs to be postponed or avoided. Your skin and medical history will be assessed before treatment.
-
The number of treatments depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. While improvements can be seen following a single treatment, a course of 3–6 sessions is often recommended for more significant concerns such as acne scarring and uneven skin texture. Treatments are generally spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
-
Most clients find SkinPen microneedling very tolerable. A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. You may experience a mild scratching or vibrating sensation, particularly over bony areas of the face.
-
Some clients notice improvements in their skin's appearance within the first few weeks. However, collagen production and skin remodelling take time, with improvements continuing to develop over the following months. Results are gradual and vary between individuals.
-
Following treatment, avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise, swimming and direct sun exposure for the period outlined in your aftercare instructions. Retinoids, exfoliating acids and other potentially irritating skincare ingredients should be avoided until your skin has recovered. Gentle skincare and sun protection are essential.
-
Most clients experience redness, warmth and mild swelling immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically settles within 24–72 hours, although some dryness, tightness or mild flaking may continue for several days.
-
We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours following treatment, or until advised according to your skin's recovery. This allows the skin barrier time to recover and reduces the risk of irritation.
