Overview

Microneedling uses very fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin. The skin responds as it would to any small, well-managed injury: by producing new collagen and elastin as part of its natural repair cycle.

Because that remodelling happens gradually, changes are assessed over weeks rather than days. Microneedling may help improve the appearance of skin texture, enlarged pores and certain types of acne scarring. Suitability and expected results vary between individuals; a consultation always comes first.

Who it may suit

  • Uneven texture or enlarged pores
  • Mild to moderate acne scarring on settled skin
  • Early signs of ageing and fine lines
  • Dull skin that would benefit from renewal

Considerations

  • Not performed over active acne, infection, eczema flare-ups or open skin
  • Recent isotretinoin use, keloid tendency and some medical conditions need to be discussed first
  • Sun protection is essential for several weeks afterwards

What to expect

  1. 01

    A thorough cleanse and a topical numbing cream, left to work for 20–30 minutes

  2. 02

    A hand-held device passed over the treatment area in overlapping sections

  3. 03

    A soothing serum and barrier-supporting balm applied to finish

  4. 04

    Skin looks flushed, as if mildly sunburnt, when you leave

Preparation

  • Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids and active serums for 3–5 days beforehand
  • Avoid sun exposure and self-tan for a week
  • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup
  • Tell Sarah about any medication, cold-sore history or recent treatments
  • Keep the skin clean and simple for 48 hours: gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, balm
  • No makeup for 24 hours; no actives for 5–7 days
  • Avoid heat, sweating, swimming and direct sun for 48–72 hours
  • Broad-spectrum sun protection every morning from day two

Timeline

Redness settles over 24–48 hours. Skin often feels smoother within a week; collagen remodelling continues for 6–12 weeks, which is why sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
