The micro-needles penetrate into the deeper layers of skin, resulting in stimulation of its natural healing process. Extra collagen is produced, causing the skin to look brighter, smoother, and more youthful. Extra collagen is produced, causing the skin to look brighter, smoother, and more youthful.

Microneedling offers a range of skin benefits, making it a popular treatment in aesthetic clinics. Here are some of the key advantages:
Yes, microneedling is considered a very safe and effective treatment when carried out by a trained and experienced practitioner. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that works by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. Because the punctures are so small and controlled, the risk of serious side effects is very low. Some temporary redness, sensitivity, or mild swelling is completely normal and typically settles within 24 to 48 hours. As with any skin treatment, there are rare risks such as infection, pigmentation changes, or prolonged irritation — but these are usually linked to poor aftercare or unqualified practitioners. When done properly and with the right aftercare, microneedling is a safe and effective option for improving skin texture, tone, fine lines, scarring, and overall radiance.
The results of microneedling typically last around 3 to 6 months, depending on factors like your skin condition, age, lifestyle, and how well you care for your skin after treatment. Many people begin to see improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness within a few weeks, as collagen production is gradually stimulated. However, because collagen naturally breaks down over time, maintenance treatments are usually recommended every few months to keep the results fresh. For longer-lasting results, a course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is often advised, followed by top-up sessions every 4 to 6 months, depending on your skin goals.
Your skin will look red, similar to sunburn, and may feel warm or tight — this is completely normal and usually calms down within a few hours. Swelling may occur, especially in the more delicate areas around the eyes or lips.
You may feel a warm or tight sensation, minor bruising and redness can also occur. These normally subside within 24-48 hours.
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation or infection.
Most clients report only mild discomfort. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to make the treatment as comfortable as possible
