During the procedure, tiny needles penetrate the skin to activate processes in your cells which also occur after injuries.
This encourages the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally – resulting in smoother, brighter, younger and healthier-looking skin.
It works as the body detects the puncture of the needles as small injuries in the skin which triggers a healing process, stimulating natural collagen production.
They will then rapidly close so that your skin can quickly recover.
This increased collagen level leads to an improvement of your skin’s appearance, making skin tighter and firmer and giving it a healthy glow, while also repairing areas that have been damaged by scarring or UV light.
This innovative treatment is accurately controlled by one of our highly-trained medical team, meaning that needle depth and speed can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and the particular condition of that area of skin.
We also apply a topical anaesthetic to the area before treatment, so it is comfortable throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling
1. What results can I expect?
Following the procedure, your skin will start to naturally regenerate and repair itself. This will take some time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and the dermis layer is rejuvenated.
It can take up to six weeks before you see signs of this regeneration and repair, although the process will continue to work over the following months, leaving you with natural, long lasting results.
For optimal results, we recommend at least three treatments, taken every six weeks.
2. Is this treatment suitable for me?
This device can be used on the face, neck and body and is effective on skin of all ages and types.
At S-Thetics Clinic, we believe a detailed consultation and full VISIA skin analysis are essential before performing any treatment. It is during this consultation that we will discuss your suitability for the microneedling procedure.
3. Are there any side effects?
Immediately after the procedure you will look as though you have moderate sunburn and your skin may feel warmer and tighter than usual. This normally starts to subside after one to two hours and will return to normal within 24 to 36 hours.
We will also recommend suitable products to soothe and calm your skin, as well as sun protection to further protect and enhance the rejuvenation process.
