Treatment overview
* Individual results may vary.
Microneedling
Collagen P.I.N – Percutaneous Induction Needling is a method of inducing a controlled injury into the skin at a level in the skin to induce production of growth factors, new collagen and elastin. This process causes less damage to the epidermis than standard dermal rolling, lasers or any other ablative treatment protecting the skin’s cell growth making for quicker healing and higher rates of success. Microneedling can be used for improving the appearance of stretch marks, acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and sun damaged skin.
Treatment benefits
Microneedling is used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues.

Frequently Asked
What is Microneedling?
Medical Microneedling is a treatment that constitutes a form of collagen induction therapy (CIT). It is also referred to as a non-ablative skin treatment. This means that the deeper parts of the skin are treated without removing the top layer of skin. It is designed to treat various skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, light scarring from acne and sun damage and to improve skin colour and other skin texture changes.
How quickly will I see results?
It can take between 6- 8 weeks before visible signs of skin regeneration are seen but the process will continue to evolve over the ensuing months providing a gradual improvement. Although a single treatment can provide a noticeable result, ideally a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart, are recommended to achieve optimal results.
What areas can be treated?
Unlike ablative procedures which are mainly used for facial skin, medical microneedling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, leg) and face.
Does the procedure hurt and what is the recovery?
An anaesthetic cream is applied to the skin before treatment which makes the treatment comfortable. There is a sensation of pressure and dragging to the skin during the procedure and some areas may sting slightly whilst being treated but the procedure is well tolerated. Straight after the skin is red and can be bruised with occasional grazes. The redness settles after a few days. Between 3-5 days after the procedure the skin is likely to peel slightly.
