What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine, sterilised needles to create tiny, controlled punctures on the skin’s surface. This process activates the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—two key proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

At SRGN, our specialists use advanced micro-needling devices that precisely target the skin’s deeper layers, promoting improved texture and tone. By boosting the skin’s natural regeneration process, micro-needling reduces the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and enlarged pores, giving you smoother, younger-looking skin.

Micro-needling is suitable for all skin types and can be tailored to specific concerns. Whether you’re looking for a glow-up or addressing more targeted issues like scarring, micro-needling offers transformative results with minimal downtime.

At SRGN, micro-needling can be further enhanced with the following treatments for more impactful results:

  • Dracula Facial: By combining Dracula facial with micro-needling, you supercharge the healing and collagen-stimulating effects, accelerating skin rejuvenation. The Dracula facial treatment uses your own blood to extract growth factors, which are applied during the microneedling process for added benefit.
  • HydraFacial: Microneedling pairs well with HydraFacial treatments, which cleanse and hydrate the skin. The HydraFacial prepares your skin by clearing away dead skin cells, while micro-needling stimulates deeper rejuvenation.
  • Mesotherapy: For an added boost, microneedling can be followed by mesotherapy, where vitamins and nutrients are infused into the skin to promote healing, hydration, and overall glow.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is a powerful treatment that stimulates collagen production, which helps improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen and elastin are vital proteins for maintaining youthful skin, and as we age, their production declines, leading to sagging and dullness. Microneedling effectively reverses this process, restoring plumpness and giving your skin a fresh, youthful appearance.

Another key benefit of microneedling is its ability to improve skin texture and tone. It smooths out rough patches, evens skin tone, and is highly effective in reducing acne scars, pigmentation, and other skin imperfections. By targeting the skin’s deeper layers, microneedling promotes a more refined, glowing complexion.

Microneedling is also an excellent choice for minimising pores and improving the appearance of scarring, particularly acne scars. The controlled micro-injuries created during the treatment trigger the skin’s natural repair response, breaking down old scar tissue and encouraging the formation of new, healthy skin. This results in a significant reduction in the visibility of scars and pores.

One often-overlooked advantage of microneedling is its ability to enhance the absorption of skincare products. After treatment, your skin is more receptive to serums and other active ingredients, allowing them to penetrate more deeply. This makes microneedling a great option to combine with treatments like Dracula Facial or mesotherapy, as the tiny channels created by the needles enable greater absorption of growth factors and nutrients for amplified results.

Finally, microneedling offers impressive outcomes with minimal downtime. Most clients experience only slight redness for a day or two following treatment, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Regular sessions provide long-lasting improvements, allowing you to enjoy smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin with little interruption to your daily routine.

FAQs

  • Is Microneedling Painful?

    At SRGN it is relatively painless, as a numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. You may feel slight pressure or a tingling sensation during the procedure.

  • How Long Until I See Microneedling Results?

    Results from the treatment typically become visible after two to three weeks as the skin’s natural healing process takes effect. For the best results, a series of treatments may be recommended.

  • Can Microneedling Help with Acne Scars?

    Yes, it is highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars. By promoting collagen production, it helps to fill in and smooth out the skin, minimising scarring over time.

  • How Often Should I Have Micro-Needling?

    For optimal results, it’s recommended to have treatments every 4-6 weeks. Your skin therapist will create a personalised plan based on your skin's condition and goals.

  • Is There Any Downtime for Microneedling?

    There is minimal downtime after treatment. You may experience redness and slight swelling immediately after the treatment, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. You can resume normal activities shortly after.
