Micro-Needling

Discover the benefits of microneedling for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates your skin by stimulating its natural healing process. It involves using a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures trigger the production of collagen and elastin—essential proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

As a result, microneedling improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and scars, and restores a healthy glow with minimal downtime.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by harnessing your skin’s natural repair response. During the treatment:

• Controlled micro-injuries are created using a specialized device.

• Collagen and elastin production are stimulated as the skin repairs itself, strengthening its structure and elasticity.

• Enhanced absorption of skincare serums and active ingredients occurs, allowing deeper penetration and better results.

Over time, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone.

What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars and surgical scars

• Enlarged pores

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Stretch marks

• Sun damage and pigmentation

• Mild skin laxity

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is ideal for individuals who:

• Want to improve overall skin texture and tone

• Have mild to moderate signs of aging

• Suffer from acne scarring or enlarged pores

• Prefer a natural, non-surgical treatment option

• Have realistic expectations and can follow aftercare instructions

• Microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones.

What Can I Expect During the Treatment?

Microneedling is performed in a clinical setting by a trained practitioner. Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation: Your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.

3. Treatment: The microneedling device is gently moved across the skin, creating precise microchannels. You may feel slight pressure or tingling, but the treatment is well-tolerated.

4. Aftercare: A soothing serum or mask is applied to calm the skin and enhance healing.

The entire procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

How Soon Will I See Results?

You may notice an initial glow within a few days, but the most significant results develop gradually over 4–6 weeks as new collagen forms. For optimal results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Microneedling results can last 6–12 months, depending on your skin type, age, and skincare routine. Regular maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the effects and keep your skin looking its best.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

• Stimulates natural collagen production: Improves firmness and reduces wrinkles.

• Refines skin texture: Minimizes pores and smooths uneven skin.

• Reduces scars and stretch marks: Promotes skin regeneration.

• Enhances product absorption: Boosts the effectiveness of topical treatments.

• Minimal downtime: Quick recovery compared to laser or chemical peels.

• Safe for all skin tones: Low risk of pigmentation changes.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Microneedling is a safe and FDA-approved procedure with minimal side effects. You may experience:

• Mild redness and swelling for 24–48 hours

• Slight sensitivity or dryness during the healing phase

• Temporary flaking or tightness

These effects typically subside within a few days, revealing fresher, healthier skin.

Is There Any Downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Most clients return to normal activities the next day, although makeup should be avoided for 24 hours to allow the skin to breathe.

Can Microneedling Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes! Microneedling can be safely combined with other treatments for enhanced results, such as:

• Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling: For deeper collagen remodeling and skin tightening.

• Chemical peels: To further improve texture and tone.

• Polynucleotides or growth factors: To enhance collagen stimulation and repair.

Is Microneedling Safe?

Yes, microneedling is a safe and clinically proven procedure when performed by trained professionals using sterile, high-quality devices. At Cambridge Skin Clinic, we follow strict hygiene standards and use only NHS-approved equipment to ensure your comfort and safety.
