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 £180.00 to £1000.00 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.

Microneedling

Microneedling treatments stimulate natural collagen production through controlled micro-injuries that trigger skin's healing response for improved texture, tone, and overall quality. These proven procedures address fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and skin laxity by encouraging cellular regeneration and collagen remodeling throughout the skin. The minimally invasive approach delivers significant skin improvement with minimal downtime, offering both corrective and preventive benefits for comprehensive skin enhancement and anti-aging protection.
