What is microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses a device with very fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. This process is designed to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and boost collagen and elastin production. It is commonly used on the face, but can also be done on areas such as the neck, chest, or body to improve texture and overall skin quality.

How much is Microneedling?

Prices vary between clinics and depend on factors such as treatment area, number of sessions, device type and whether adjunct products (for example PRP or topical serums) are used. In the UK Microneedling typically ranges from around £180 to £1000 depending on complexity and the practitioner’s experience. If you’re wondering how much Microneedling costs or what the price of Microneedling will be for your skin concern, bear in mind that larger areas or a recommended course of treatments will increase the total cost. The overall cost of Microneedling is also influenced by clinic location and any personalised aftercare plans. You can find the exact, up-to-date price for this treatment in the catalogue

What does microneedling do

Microneedling helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, mild wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven skin texture or tone. By triggering the skin’s repair process, it encourages new collagen and elastin, which can make the skin look smoother, firmer, and more even over time. Results usually build gradually over a series of sessions rather than from a single treatment.

Does microneedling hurt

Most clinics apply a topical numbing cream before microneedling, so many people describe the feeling as uncomfortable rather than painful. You may feel scratching, pressure, or mild stinging in more sensitive areas. After the treatment, the skin often feels warm, tight, or slightly sunburned for a day or two. Comfort levels vary from person to person and also depend on the depth of the needles used.

Is microneedling worth it

For many people, microneedling is worth it if they want to gradually improve fine lines, mild acne scarring, or overall skin texture without more aggressive procedures or long downtime. It is usually done as a course of several sessions, and results appear over weeks to months, so it is not an instant fix. Whether it is worth it for you depends on your skin concerns, expectations, budget, and whether you are able to commit to multiple treatments and good aftercare.

Microneedling before and after

Before microneedling, skin may look dull, uneven, or show visible fine lines, enlarged pores, or mild acne scars. After a course of treatments and once healing has taken place, many people notice smoother texture, a more even tone, reduced appearance of fine lines and some scars, and an overall healthier-looking glow. Results vary from person to person, and several sessions are usually needed to see the full benefit. Your practitioner should discuss realistic expectations and how many treatments you may need.

I've been coming to Synergy for the past 8 months for facials with Beth, in prep for my wedding. Beth is amazing at what she does, she's so knowledgeable about skincare and has made a huge improvement to my skin with microneedling which has reduced my acne scarring. She's also so lovely, and caring, and is always there if you have any questions. Thank you so much Beth xxx

Thanks again 🫶

Review for Rebecca. I’ve had two treatments with Rebecca over the past couple of months — the Prescription Resurfacing Facial and the Focus Dual RF Microneedling (full face). From the moment I arrived, Rebecca was incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain each treatment in detail. She made sure I was comfortable throughout and regularly checked in to see how I was feeling. I’m really looking forward to continuing my skin journey with her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Sabrina and Michelle really are an amazing pair!! Very kind warm and welcoming. The treatment room is clean and relaxing. After my initial consultation we decided that micro needling would suit my needs best due to being of a mature age. I had my first micro needling session with Michelle today who was amazing and talked me through the process every step of the way . I can’t wait for my next session. Would highly recommend these two.

Had an amazing micro needling treatment with Emma. She was super professional and explained the treatment in detail and what I could expect after. Treatment wasn't painful at all. The clinic is lovely, spotlessly clean and easy to find. I’ve booked my next 3 sessions already. Highly recommend

I had my first microneedling session at Blush Medical yesterday, and it was an excellent experience. When I arrived, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted, but I knew my skin had been feeling dry, and I’d noticed fine lines becoming more defined over the past couple of years. I wasn’t looking for anything invasive or Botox, so it was suggested that I start with a treatment to help hydrate and plump my skin. The session itself was fantastic—completely painless and actually quite relaxing! The lovely lady who carried out the treatment (menopause brain, I can’t remember her name—sorry!) was amazing. She made me feel completely at ease, explained everything as we went along, and, in the end, we had such a great chat that the 45 minutes flew by. I’d highly recommend Blush Medical to anyone considering skincare treatments. I already can’t wait for my next session!
