Microneedling

The number of microneedling sessions required depends on your skin’s condition and the goals of your treatment. For general skin rejuvenation, 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are often recommended. For more specific concerns like deep acne scars or wrinkles, 6-8 sessions may be necessary. Your practitioner will tailor a treatment plan to meet your individual needs and desired outcomes.

Yes, microneedling can be effectively combined with other treatments, such as chemical peels and facials, as well as your regular skincare routine for enhanced results. Combining treatments can maximise skin rejuvenation, addressing multiple concerns simultaneously. However, the timing and order of treatments should be carefully planned by your practitioner to ensure safe and effective outcomes.

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, with most patients describing the sensation as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort. The depth of needle penetration can be adjusted based on your comfort level and the specific skin concerns being treated, making the experience more manageable.

Initial improvements in skin texture and tone may be visible within a week or two after your first microneedling session, as the skin begins to heal and regenerate. However, full results, particularly for issues like scarring or wrinkles, typically develop over several weeks to months as collagen production increases. For best results, a series of treatments is often recommended, with continued improvement over time.
