The Benefits of Micro Skin Needling: Your Path to Healthier, Rejuvenated Skin

If you’re looking for a treatment that enhances your skin’s natural glow, reduces imperfections and stimulates long-term collagen production, micro skin needling is an excellent choice. This minimally invasive procedure delivers impressive results for a range of skin concerns. 

What Is Micro Skin Needling?

Micro skin needling, involves using fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production—two essential proteins that keep skin firm, smooth and youthful.

The treatment is safe, effective and widely used to improve skin texture, tone and overall appearance.

How Does Micro Skin Needling Improve the Skin?

This treatment works by encouraging skin regeneration and cell renewal. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer, more even and more resilient. Here’s what it can help with:

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Boosts collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

• Acne Scarring & Pigmentation: Helps fade acne scars, hyperpigmentation and sunspots by promoting even skin tone.

• Enlarged Pores: Encourages skin tightening, making pores appear smaller.

• Stretch Marks: Stimulates new collagen to improve the texture of stretch marks.

• Overall Skin Rejuvenation: Gives the skin a fresher, more youthful look by improving hydration and elasticity.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

While some people notice improvements after just one session, a series of treatments is recommended for the best results.

• Mild skin concerns: 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

• More significant concerns (scarring, deeper wrinkles, pigmentation): 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

• Stretch marks or deeper acne scarring: May require 6+ sessions for optimal improvement.

Results continue to improve for up to 6 months after the final session as collagen continues to rebuild.

Who Is Micro Skin Needling Suitable For?

This treatment is suitable for most skin types, including normal, oily, dry, and combination skin. It’s especially beneficial for those concerned about ageing, pigmentation, or scarring.

However, it may not be suitable if you:

• Have active acne, infections, or open wounds in the treatment area.

• Have a history of keloid scarring.

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding (consultation required).

A consultation with our expert team can determine if micro skin needling is right for your skin type and goals.

Is There Any Downtime?

Micro skin needling is a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime. Most clients experience some mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. You may also notice slight swelling or sensitivity, but this usually subsides within a couple of days.

To support healing and enhance your results, we recommend:

• Avoiding makeup and active skincare (retinol, AHAs, BHAs) for 48 hours.

• Wearing SPF daily to protect your newly treated skin.

• Staying hydrated and using a gentle, hydrating skincare routine.
