Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves the use of a special device to create controlled, micro-injuries to the skin.
These invisible injuries send repair signals to the skin, stimulating the production of collagen leading to a rejuvenated, youthful glow.
A microneedling device uses miniature needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production, while also creating tiny channels for the skin to better absorb serums and active ingredients.
The result is firmer, smoother and more youthful skin.
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, although any pain can be minimised with the use of topical anaesthetics.
You may feel a mild sensation during the treatment, similar to a light pressure or pricking. Our practitioners prioritise your comfort and can adjust the treatment to your tolerance level.
Common side effects of microneedling may include redness, swelling and mild skin irritation immediately following the procedure.
These effects are short-lived and generally resolve within a few days. We can discuss any potential side effects during a brief consultation prior to treatment.
