Many people struggle with acne scars, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone and look for treatments to improve their skin without surgery. Microneedling has become a popular option because it helps refresh the skin naturally. It’s a simple, non-invasive procedure that works with the body’s healing process to improve skin texture and appearance.
The treatment involves tiny, sterilised needles that create small punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, it looks fresher, tighter, and even-toned. According to a comprehensive review, four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart showed up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin deposition six months after treatment.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know before considering the procedure.
Popular Uses of Microneedling
Microneedling can be performed on different parts of the body to encourage natural skin repair and renewal. It helps stimulate collagen and elastin, improving overall structure and appearance in the following areas:
- Face - targets acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven tone.
- Neck - reduces sagging and softens visible lines.
- Décolletage - improves pigmentation, sun damage, and skin texture.
- Hands - restores firmness and reduces visible ageing.
- Stretch mark-prone areas - fades stretch marks and improves elasticity in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and hips.
Benefits of Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling offers a range of benefits for the skin by stimulating the body’s natural healing process.
-
Brighten Complexion
Microneedling stimulates cell turnover to refresh dull skin. It boosts natural radiance and restores a healthier glow. Over time, the complexion appears brighter and more even.
-
Reduce Scars and Spots
By breaking down scar tissue, microneedling softens acne scars and surgical marks. It also reduces stretch marks and pigmentation. This promotes clearer and smoother skin.
-
Diminish Fine Lines and Rough Skin
Collagen and elastin stimulation helps smooth fine lines. Rough patches become softer, and wrinkles appear less visible. Skin texture improves for a youthful look.
-
Refine Texture and Tone
The treatment evens out pigmentation and roughness. It creates a smoother, more balanced surface. Skin tone becomes clearer and more consistent.
-
Boost Collagen and Elastin
Microneedling activates elastin and natural collagen production. This makes skin firmer, plumper, and more elastic. The result is a younger, lifted appearance.
-
Enhance Product Absorption
Micro-channels formed during treatment allow products to sink deeper. Skincare products become more effective. This maximises results after each session.
-
Stimulate Blood Circulation
The process boosts circulation in treated areas. Oxygen and nutrients flow better to skin cells. This supports faster healing and a healthy glow.
-
Restore Skin Firmness
With more collagen, the skin regains strength and elasticity. Sagging and looseness are reduced. Skin looks firmer and more lifted over time.
-
Support Hair Growth
Microneedling may activate dormant follicles. It helps improve thickness and stimulate regrowth. This makes it useful for certain types of hair loss.
-
Revitalise Overall Skin Health
By combining all these benefits, microneedling enhances skin resilience. It strengthens, hydrates, and smooths. The result is healthier, long-lasting radiance.
Microneedling Procedure: Step by Step
Understanding what happens during a microneedling session can make the experience less intimidating. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect:
- Consultation - Every treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin concerns, medical history, and suitability for microneedling. This ensures the procedure is safe and tailored to your needs.
- Cleansing - Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities, makeup, or oils that could interfere with the procedure.
- Numbing - A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. This usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes to take effect.
- Microneedling treatment - Using a sterile microneedling device, tiny controlled punctures are made in the skin. Depending on your concerns, advanced options such as Morpheus8, MCT Exosomes, or Biosome Therapy may be used to enhance your results.
- Post-care application - After the procedure, soothing serums or recovery solutions are applied to calm the skin and boost healing. Your specialist will also give you aftercare instructions to protect your results.
Potential Side Effects and Risks of Microneedling
Microneedling is generally safe, but like any skin treatment, it carries potential side effects. Knowing what to expect helps you prepare and care for your skin after the procedure.
- Mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity that usually subside within a few days
- Temporary peeling or dryness as the skin heals
- Rare risks include infection, bruising, or prolonged irritation if aftercare is not followed
- Most side effects are short-lived and manageable with proper skin care and sun protection
Is Microneedling Right for You
Microneedling is safe for most people, but there are situations where your specialist may recommend postponing or adjusting the treatment to protect your skin health. These include:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- A history of keloid scarring
- Active skin infections or open wounds
- Ongoing use of certain medications that affect healing
- Active acne, eczema, or very sensitive skin
A consultation helps ensure microneedling is the right option for you, so your treatment is both safe and effective.
