Trigger Your Skin's Natural Regeneration

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a highly effective minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce scarring, minimise pores, and promote overall skin rejuvenation. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates the body's natural wound healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.

At PRP London Clinic, our medical team uses professional microneedling devices to safely and effectively treat a variety of skin concerns on the face and body. Results can be further enhanced by combining microneedling with other regenerative treatments.

The Science: Collagen Induction

During a microneedling treatment:

  • A device equipped with fine, sterile needles is moved across the skin, creating thousands of tiny, controlled punctures (micro-channels) in the dermis.
  • These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing cascade, initiating inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling phases.
  • Growth factors are released, stimulating fibroblasts (skin cells) to produce new, healthy collagen and elastin.
  • Over the following weeks and months, this new collagen network improves skin structure, firmness, and texture.
  • The micro-channels also temporarily increase the absorption of beneficial topical products applied immediately after treatment.

Benefits & Conditions Treated

Microneedling offers numerous benefits and can effectively address:

  • Acne Scarring: Significantly improves the appearance of atrophic (indented) acne scars.
  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Reduces textural lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen.
  • Enlarged Pores: Helps tighten skin around pores, making them appear smaller.
  • Skin Texture & Tone: Creates smoother, more even skin texture and tone.
  • Stretch Marks (Striae): Can improve texture and blend colour (results vary).
  • Mild Skin Laxity: Provides some firming effect through collagen remodelling.
  • Hyperpigmentation (Certain Types): Can improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). *Caution advised for Melasma.*
  • General Skin Rejuvenation: Enhances overall skin health and radiance.
  • Under-Eye Area: Can carefully treat fine lines and crepey skin under the eyes.

Note: Standard microneedling is generally not considered an effective primary treatment for significant cellulite.

The Microneedling Procedure

Your microneedling session with our medical team involves:

  1. Consultation: Discussion of your skin concerns, goals, and suitability for microneedling.
  2. Preparation: Thorough cleansing of the skin. Application of a strong topical anaesthetic cream for 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort.
  3. Microneedling Application: Our medical team uses a sterile, single-use needle cartridge on the microneedling device, gliding it across the treatment area(s) in a controlled manner, adjusting needle depth based on the area and concern.
  4. Post-Treatment Application (Optional): A soothing, targeted serum (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid) is often applied immediately afterwards to penetrate the micro-channels.
  5. Aftercare: Your skin will appear red and may feel tight. Specific aftercare instructions, focusing on hydration and sun protection, will be provided.

The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes, including numbing time.

Expected Results and Timeline

Skin improvements develop over time as collagen rebuilds:

  • Immediately After: Skin is red and may feel warm/tight.
  • Days 1-3: Redness gradually subsides. Skin may feel dry or slightly rough.
  • Weeks 1-4: Initial improvements in texture and radiance may be noticeable.
  • Months 1-3+: More significant improvements in lines, scars, pores, and firmness become visible as new collagen forms. Optimal results for scarring often require multiple sessions.

A course of 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results, especially for scarring or significant texture issues.

Enhancing Results with Combination Treatments

Microneedling creates ideal pathways for enhanced absorption of regenerative products. Our medical team often combines it with:

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): The 'PRP Facial' uses your own growth factors applied after microneedling for boosted rejuvenation. Learn more »
  • Exosomes (MSC-Derived): Applying exosomes post-microneedling delivers potent regenerative signals deep into the skin. Learn more »
  • AnteAGE Biosomes™: Biomimetic exosomes applied after microneedling for targeted skin enhancement. Learn more »

Combination treatments often yield superior results compared to microneedling alone, with specific pricing found on the respective treatment pages.

Microneedling Pricing

The cost for a standalone microneedling session is listed below. Package pricing may be available for courses of treatment. Combination treatments (with PRP, Exosomes, etc.) have separate pricing outlined on their dedicated pages.

Is Microneedling Safe?

Microneedling is very safe when performed by a our qualified medical professionals using sterile, single-use needle cartridges. Expected side effects are temporary redness, mild swelling, and potential pinpoint bleeding during the procedure. Proper aftercare minimises risks like infection or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (rare with appropriate technique and sun protection).

Myths vs Facts

M

Microneedling is extremely painful.

F

Topical numbing cream makes the procedure comfortable. Most patients feel vibration and mild prickling, not significant pain.

M

Microneedling creates permanent holes in your skin.

F

False. It creates temporary micro-channels that trigger healing and close quickly, usually within hours.

M

At-home microneedling rollers are just as effective.

F

Professional devices create precise, vertical channels at controlled depths, offering safer and significantly more effective results than rollers, which can tear skin.

M

You see full results after one microneedling session.

F

While some glow appears early, collagen rebuilding takes time. A series of sessions is needed for significant improvements in scars, lines, and texture.
