YOUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here, our dermal clinicians have answered some of your most commonly asked questions about our microneedling treatments. For tailored guidance, you’re always welcome to contact the clinic.
Microneedling works by prompting the skin’s own repair process. The fine needles create precise micro-channels to encourage the production of collagen and elastin. These are the proteins that give your skin its structure, smoothness, and resilience. As the skin renews over time, this process can help refine surface texture and soften the appearance of fine lines, mild scarring, or visible pores.
Microneedling is not performed on areas with active acne or inflamed breakouts, as treatment in these areas may increase irritation.
Once breakouts have settled, microneedling may be incorporated into a personalised skin plan to help improve the appearance of post-acne marks or textural irregularities. Your clinician will assess your skin’s condition, including any contributing factors such as current medications or topical skincare, before determining whether microneedling is appropriate for you.
Microneedling supports gradual improvement by stimulating the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes. Results typically develop progressively over a series of treatments as new collagen forms beneath the surface.
To help maintain these effects, many people schedule follow-up sessions at regular intervals, complemented by a consistent home-care routine and diligent sun protection. Your clinician will provide personalised guidance on treatment frequency and a long-term maintenance plan tailored to your individual skin goals.
Proper aftercare is an important part of the microneedling process. Immediately following treatment, the skin may look red and feel warm or tight. This is a normal skin response and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours, though in some cases it may last longer.
As the skin heals, any flaking or redness should be allowed to settle naturally. It is important to keep the skin clean, hydrated, and protected from sun exposure using a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ or higher.
For a more detailed guide, check out our microneedling aftercare blog.
Temporary side effects can include mild swelling, tightness, or redness. These typically resolve within one to two days. Some people experience light flaking as the skin renews. Tell your clinician about any prolonged swelling, redness, or discomfort.
We recommend pausing microneedling while you’re pregnant. Your skin can be more sensitive and behave a little differently during this time, so we take a more cautious approach.
Your clinician can talk you through other options that may be better suited to your skin while you’re pregnant. After you’ve had your baby, we can reassess your skin and work out when it feels right to return to treatment. This will be different for everyone, including while breastfeeding, so we take it case by case.
