Microneedling

From £300

Microneedling

Microneedling is a skin treatment that improves tone and texture by increasing collagen and elastin production. It is a procedure that harnesses controlled injury to stimulate an abundance of growth factors.

Using a medical grade device, sterile needles are rolled across the skin to create micro injuries.

This may help lessen acne scars improve fine lines and enhance skin tone and texture.

Skin naturally loses collagen over the years or through injury and micro-needling encourages regeneration, improving tone and texture, with little downtime.

It is particularly useful in:

  • Increasing skin elasticity

  • Refining enlarged pores

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sundamage

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Acne scars
