Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy for scars, texture and skin quality.
Treatment Overview
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting the natural repair process and gradual collagen remodelling.
Who May Benefit
- Patients with atrophic acne scarring
- Those with enlarged-looking pores or uneven texture
- Patients seeking overall improvement in skin quality
How the Treatment Works
The micro-injuries trigger a wound-healing response. Over the following weeks, new collagen and elastin are laid down, gradually smoothing the surface.

What to Expect
The face typically looks flushed for one to three days, similar to sunburn, followed by mild dryness. Makeup is usually avoided for the first day or two.
