How It Works

Our microneedling device glides across the skin, —this is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure with no side effects, designed to naturally stimulate the skin beneath the surface.The depth reached by the microneedling device depends on your needs and specific skin concerns. For diffuse redness, and elastin production, which helps repair, rebuild, and regenerate damaged tissue.For pigmentation and acne treatment, the epidermis is the target because sebaceous glands (where sebum is produced) and melanocytes (responsible for pigmentation) are located here. Oxygen and light can help eliminate any potential pigmentation or acne-causing bacteria. This process also promotes cell turnover, helping prevent future breakouts and pigmentation.For best results, it's recommended to start with 4 sessions spaced 2–6 weeks apart. Continued maintenance helps preserve the skin’s renewed glow. You may also add a 4D mask or LED rejuvenation during the microneedling treatment for optimal skin health.

​

Pre-Treatment Preparation

• Ensure your skin is healthy through at-home care or supplementary treatments.

• Do not wax the treatment area for at least two weeks prior to the session.

• Avoid sunburn in the treatment area for at least two weeks before treatment.

 

What to Expect During the Treatment

During the procedure, you may feel mild pressure and a pricking sensation as the tip moves across your face. Each area is treated in small sections. Because of the quick speed of the procedure, any discomfort is temporary and generally tolerable. Warmth and a slight tingling feeling are normal.

 

Expected Reactions After Treatment

• 24 hours: Moderate to severe redness, mild swelling

• Days 1–2: Mild itching, tightness, or dryness

• Days 2–3: Light redness, slight skin peeling

• Days 4–5: Full recovery

Patients with a history of pustular breakouts may experience purging after treatment. This is normal and can be treated with LED acne therapy, which should be applied once pustules appear.

​

​

Post-Treatment Care

• No exercise, showering, spa, or sauna within the first 24 hours after treatment.

• Begin using hyaluronic acid, all active ingredients, and SPF immediately after treatment.

• Start using exfoliating products after 7 days.

• Do not touch untreated water for the first 3 days post-treatment.

• Cleanse the face with metronidazole and sodium chloride solution.

• Apply lyophilized powder (freeze-dried serum) to the whole face.

• Use a soothing mask for 15–20 minutes, then gently wipe it off.

• Reapply lyophilized powder.

​

Days 4–7 Post-Treatment

• Use the two-piece acne home care kit and cooling soothing mask morning and evening.

 

Day 7 and Onward

• Enter the hydration and metabolic recovery phase; please visit the clinic for assessment.

​

Healing Timeline

• Days 1–3: Optimal recovery phase

• Days 4–5: Redness fading phase

• Days 6–7: Regeneration phase — proper repair is essential!

​

• How does Microneedling work?

 Laser Clinics use a handheld device with an adjustable needle head, the needle depth (.25mm – 2.5mm) can be altered depending on the skin condition being treated. The needles cause a small wound to the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural reaction to heal. The treated area benefits from the growth of new skin cells that in turn improve the skin’s texture and appearance.

Initial redness will occur where platelets in the blood respond to the ‘wound’. The tissue in the treated area will regenerate (heal).

A ‘fibrotic response’ occurs generating new collagen and tissue formation.

​

• No numbing is required

• Regular work activities can be resumed after treatment

​

• Does it hurt?

The sensation of Microneedling has been likened to a Microdermabrasion, a little bit of discomfort – but responses vary from client to client. Our technicians regularly monitor your comfort throughout the procedure.

​

​

• How does Microneedling compare to other methods of skin rejuvenation?

Microneedling is a procedure that is non-thermal and non-ablative. Treatment may be performed on all skin tones reducing any risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or fibrotic scar tissue formation.

​

• Is the treatment safe?

Yes. Microneedling clinical treatments may only be performed by a qualified therapist under a strict sterile procedure. All treatment consumables are single-use and sterile.

​

• How soon will I see results?

Results typically may be seen after just one Microneedling clinical treatment, however, cumulative treatments may be required to achieve the desired result. The regenerating process will continue for up to 24 months post-treatment.

​

• What is the downtime after treatment?

Localised redness may last up to 2 days post-treatment for sensitive skin types. Mineral makeup may be used 24 hours post-procedure to reduce any visible redness. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately after a Microneedling Treatment.

​

• What conditions can Microneedling treat?

Microneedling treats various conditions, such as:

• ageing & wrinkles

• sun damage

• hyperpigmentation & hypopigmentation

• rosacea

• problematic acne

• dilated pores

• milia

• keratosis pilaris

• scarring & thickened skin, and more.

 

• How many treatments will I require?

Generalised rejuvenation can be achieved in as little as three treatments. Conditions such as scarring and stretch marks however may require a minimum of five treatments. Depending on the condition being targeted, treatments are performed on average every 4-8 weeks.
