Microneedling
Tiny, controlled needles that prompt your skin to rebuild itself.
What it is
Microneedling uses a pen with very fine needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. The body responds by producing new collagen and elastin over the following weeks. It is one of the best treatments for mild scarring and overall skin texture.
We often combine microneedling with the application of a serum (mesotherapy cocktail, growth-factor serum, or a hyaluronic-acid concentrate) so the needles act as both a stimulus and a delivery system.
What it treats
- Mild acne scarring
- Rough texture and large pores
- Fine lines
- Dull, tired skin
- Stretch marks (body protocol)
How it works
- 1 A numbing cream sits on the skin for 30 minutes.
- 2 The needling pen moves across the area in a precise pattern. Depth is adjusted by zone.
- 3 A serum is applied during or immediately after for enhanced penetration.
- 4 A protective barrier is left on the skin to settle.

FAQs
Does it hurt?
With numbing cream, it is comfortable for most clients. The forehead and around the eyes are more sensitive than the cheeks. Most clients say it feels like a scratchy buzz rather than pain.
How many sessions?
Three to six sessions four weeks apart for a starting course. For acne scarring you may need closer to six; for general texture, three is often enough.
When can I wear make-up again?
After 12 hours. Use a mineral-based foundation for the first few days if you can.
