About Microneedling

Microneedling is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries activate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production—two vital proteins for firm, youthful skin. This treatment is highly effective for addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, and stretch marks.

For enhanced results, microneedling can be combined with exosomes—powerful regenerative particles derived from stem cells that deliver growth factors deep into the skin. This combination accelerates skin healing, improves texture, and amplifies rejuvenation benefits.

Whether performed on its own or paired with exosomes, microneedling encourages skin to renew itself from within. The treatment involves minimal downtime, and results continue to improve over time, with many clients noticing visible improvements after just one session. Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on your skin goals.

How it Works

During your consultation, Melanie will assess your skin’s condition and discuss your goals to determine if microneedling is the right treatment for you.

 

Once you’re ready, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort. Using a microneedling device, Melanie will gently glide tiny needles over the skin’s surface, creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. The procedure usually takes 30-45 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Microneedling works gradually, as the skin’s natural healing process kicks in. Over the next few weeks, your skin will start to improve in texture, tone, and elasticity. Collagen production is stimulated, leading to smoother and firmer skin. The results are cumulative, and multiple treatments are recommended for more significant changes.

 

After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. For optimal healing, it’s important to avoid sun exposure, refrain from using harsh skincare products, and keep the skin moisturised. Melanie will provide you with tailored aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and support your skin’s recovery process.

Candidates for Microneedling

  • Have uneven skin texture or large pores.
  • Struggle with fine lines and wrinkles or want to improve skin elasticity.
  • Are looking for a non-invasive solution to improve the overall tone and appearance of your skin.
  • Want to reduce the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, or other scarring.
  • Have healthy skin without active acne, rosacea, or certain other skin conditions.

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is ideal for individuals looking to improve uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or stretch marks. It’s a non-invasive option for those seeking visible skin rejuvenation without surgery. However, those with certain skin conditions like active acne or rosacea may need to consider alternative treatments. During your consultation, Melanie will assess your skin and help determine whether microneedling—with or without exosomes—is the right approach to achieve your desired results.

Quick answers to questions you may have

The results of microneedling can last for several months, with improved skin texture and tone continuing to develop over time as collagen production increases. For long-lasting results, maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months are recommended.

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, as a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. You may feel a mild tingling or prickling sensation during the treatment, but it should not be painful.

Typically, 3 to 6 sessions are recommended for optimal results, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and the desired outcome.

The cost of microneedling treatments starts from £225 for one area, with the final price depending on the areas treated and the number of sessions required. Adding exosomes to the treatment starts at £265. During your consultation, Melanie will provide a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate.
