Microneedling treatment in Manchester

Microneedling is a skin treatment that works by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes, helping to improve overall texture, tone and skin quality over time.

It can be particularly helpful for concerns such as acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, or uneven texture. It is great for those looking to refresh the skin in a gradual, natural way.

During treatment, a medical-grade device with fine, sterile needles is used to create controlled micro-channels within the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are key to maintaining skin structure and integrity.

Targeted serums can be used during the treatment which are selected based on your skin’s individual needs. These are absorbed more effectively through the micro-channels, supporting hydration, brightness and overall skin health.

Microneedling can help with:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Enlarged pores

  • Acne scars and other scarring

  • Stretch marks

  • Pigmentation

  • Uneven skin texture

  • Dull or tired-looking skin

  • Early signs of ageing

 FAQs

  • Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This controlled process triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which are key proteins that keep your skin smooth, firm and youthful.

  • Microneedling is usually well tolerated, but a prescription-strength numbing cream can be applied beforehand if needed to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Most people describe the sensation as a light prickling or mild buzzing on the skin.

  • There’s very little downtime. You may experience some redness or mild swelling similar to mild sunburn which usually fades within 24 to 48 hours. Your skin might feel a bit dry or tight for a few days.

  • For best results, we often recommend a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. However, the number of sessions depends on your individual skin goals and concerns, which we’ll assess during your consultation.

  • You may notice a subtle glow and smoother texture a few days after your first session. However, the real results come over time as collagen builds. Most clients see the full benefits with firmer and more radiant skin within 4 to 8 weeks.
