Microneedling

Microneedling

Renowned for its rejuvenating effects on skin texture, microneedling is a minimally invasive, collagen stimulating therapy.

This innovative treatment uses a device containing multiple ultra fine needles, which create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes.

The results of microneedling treatment include improved skin tone and texture, firmer skin and reduction in acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles.

We offer a range of advanced microneedling treatments to rejuvenate and revitalise your skin.

Before & after microneedling

Every patient is unique and every treatment is bespoke, so results may vary from person to person.
Before image of potenzaAfter image of potenza
This amazing transformation has been achieved with a combination of dermal fillers and Potenza RF microneedling. Tim applied 3ml of midface fillers to subtly plump and lift the client's cheeks. Then Kim took over with three sessions of Potenza; lifting, tightening and renewing our client's face and neck. The overall result is a startling improvement in skin tone, jawline shaping and overall rejuvenation.
After potenza microneedling treatmentBefore potenza microneedling treatment
Four weeks after her first Potenza microneedling treatment with Emma, this patient's skin had already tightened and lifted, particularly around her jowls and eyes. Potenza's rejuvenating effects have also given her skin a smoother, more even texture. And, with 2 more sessions to come, the results will only improve.
This before & after showcases the incredible results of Potenza RF microneedling for the under-eye area. By combining the power of radio-frequency energy and ultra fine microneedles, Potenza stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to firm and tighten delicate under-eye skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Reviews for our Microneedling treatment

I just wanted to drop you an email to let you know how happy I was with my treatment with Emma. I was quite nervous about having Potenza but Emma made me feel at ease straight away. She was very compassionate, gentle and friendly and made it easy to understand the procedure. I look forward to my continued journey with the Potenza treatment ”

What is microneedling treatment like?

We offer several types of microneedling treatment, each combine advanced technology to bring rejuvenating benefits and lasting improvement to the texture of your skin. 

Your practitioner will advise which microneedling treatment is the best option for your skin type and the concerns you would like to address.  

Potenza radiofrequency microneedling

Potenza radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines ultra fine needles with heat, to create tiny, controlled punctures in the top layer of your skin.

The resulting regenerative process of collagen and elastin production continues in the skin for several weeks following your treatment. 

Potenza RF microneedling lifts, tightens and smooths the skin. Enlarged pores and acne scarring are reduced to improve overall skin texture. 

Microneedling with Dermapen 4

The Dermapen 4 microneedling device delivers up to 1,300 micro punctures per second into the skin, it is the most advanced device of its type for skin regeneration. 

During the treatment, nourishing serums containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins and antioxidants are applied to the skin. 

These deeply hydrating serums are easily absorbed by the microchannels that the Dermapen has created, to further encourage renewed skin texture.

Fractional mesotherapy

Fractional mesotherapy uses microneedles combined with vital nutrients that are delivered directly into your skin.  

This is a highly targeted treatment to ensure that the nourishing ingredients are supplied exactly where they’re needed to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal.

The blend of nutrients is personalised to your skin type and the concerns you want to address.

Microneedling – your questions answered

What is microneedling?

Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the outer layer of skin, which triggers the body’s healing and regenerative processes, including collagen and elastin production. 

Read our blog article about the gentle, rejuvenating benefits of microneedling.

What is the science behind microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with tiny needles to create microscopic injuries in the skin’s upper layers.

These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, which involves the release of growth factors. These naturally occurring substances stimulate cell proliferation.

The healing process leads to increased production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that provide structure, firmness, and elasticity to the skin.

What does microneedling treat?

Microneedling treatments can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as create an overall improvement in skin tone and texture. 

It is also a suitable treatment to address sun damage, acne scars and skin laxity (for example due to diminishing facial fat pads). 

What parts of the body can be treated with microneedling?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, abdomen, upper arms and hands.

What microneedling treatments are available?

We offer three microneedling treatments. Your practitioner will advise which treatment is right for your skin type and the results you want to achieve.

  1. Potenza radiofrequency microneedling combines ultrafine needles with heat to encourage collagen production and skin regeneration.
  2. Dermapen 4 is a specialist device with multiple fine needles, which creates 1,300 micro punctures per second in the epidermis to encourage skin healing for improved texture.
  3. Fractional mesotherapy combines microneedling with the delivery of personalised serums into the skin, to target specific skin concerns and deeply nourish. 

Does microneedling treatment hurt?

The needles used during treatment are incredibly fine. Additionally, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. 

How quickly will I see the benefits of microneedling?

Most patients notice a difference after one treatment. The benefits are often seen within the first two weeks. However, because the treatment stimulates skin regeneration, this continues for several months.

How long do the results last?

The rejuvenating benefits of microneedling last from six months to one year. 

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

Although a single session can provide immediate results, your practitioner may recommend a course of treatments to maximise the results and provide the optimum rejuvenating effects. 

What are the side-effects of microneedling?

There is minimal downtime following treatment. You might experience redness, slight swelling, and possibly small pin-prick bruising, which should resolve very quickly, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
