How It Works
Your Skin's Own
Repair System
Micro-needling works by creating thousands of controlled, microscopic channels in the skin using ultra-fine needles. This triggers the body's natural wound-healing cascade — releasing growth factors and stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
The micro-channels also dramatically increase the absorption of topical serums applied during and after treatment — meaning active ingredients penetrate up to 80% deeper than they would through intact skin.
Results build progressively over 4–6 weeks as new collagen forms — with full benefits visible after a course of 3–6 treatments.
Numbing cream applied
Topical anaesthetic is applied for 30–45 minutes before treatment for maximum comfort.
Micro-needling device applied
Ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-injuries across the treatment area.
Active serums infused
Hyaluronic acid, peptide, or growth factor serums are pressed into the open channels.
Collagen rebuilds over weeks
Your skin produces new collagen and elastin, progressively improving texture and firmness.
What It Treats
6 Skin Concerns
Micro-Needling Addresses
Acne Scarring
Collagen induction breaks down scar tissue and promotes new, even skin cell growth — gradually filling and smoothing indented acne scars.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Stimulates collagen and elastin production, visibly reducing fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead over a course of treatments.
Enlarged Pores
Improved skin elasticity and new collagen tightens the surrounding pore structure, reducing their visible size.
Uneven Skin Texture
Micro-channels accelerate cell turnover and allow active serums to penetrate deeper, dramatically improving skin surface texture.
Hyperpigmentation
Collagen induction disrupts melanin-producing cells, gradually fading dark spots, sun damage, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Skin Laxity & Firming
New collagen fibres firm and lift skin over time — particularly effective for early signs of sagging along the jawline and cheeks.
