Microneedling

Microneedling is a skincare technique that utilises micro-needles to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This minimally invasive treatment improves skin texture, reduces acne scars, wrinkles and stretch marks by creating controlled micro-injuries that promote the natural healing process. Suitable for various skin types, microneedling is becoming increasingly popular.

FAQ about microneedling

How does a microneedling session proceed?
Firstly, the skin is cleansed, followed by the application of a topical anaesthetic. Subsequently, a device equipped with micro-needles is used on the skin. The session typically lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour.
How many microneedling sessions are required to observe results?
The results can vary, but multiple microneedling sessions are often recommended to achieve optimal results, typically between 3 and 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
What are the common side effects of microneedling?
The common side effects of microneedling may include temporary redness, slight swelling, and a sensation of sensitive skin, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is generally well tolerated due to the application of a topical anaesthetic which minimises pain during the procedure.
Can we apply makeup after a microneedling session?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after a microneedling session before applying makeup, in order to allow the skin to rest and minimise the risk of irritation.
Is microneedling at home dangerous?
Home microneedling is a practice to avoid as it can be hazardous. Without proper sterilisation, the needles can cause infections, persistent redness, and hyperpigmented spots. Moreover, incorrect pressure or the use of unsuitable needles can exacerbate existing skin issues or create scars.
