Microneedling: What It Does, Who It May Suit and What to Expect

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine sterile needles, with the aim of stimulating a healing response. It is not suitable for every skin condition or every person.

What concerns may microneedling be used for?

Depending on assessment, practitioners may use microneedling as part of a plan for skin texture and some types of scarring. Results and the number of sessions required vary.

What happens afterwards?

Temporary redness, sensitivity and mild swelling can occur. Aftercare should be followed carefully, including advice about skincare and sun exposure.

Who may need to avoid or postpone treatment?

Active skin infection, significant inflammation and some medical conditions or medicines may make treatment unsuitable or mean it should be postponed. A proper consultation is therefore essential.

Is it the same as an injectable treatment?

No. Microneedling is a different procedure from dermal fillers, skin boosters or polynucleotide injections.
