    THE PROCEDURE

    Skin Needling Overview

    What is Skin Needling?

    Skin needling (also called microneedling) is a procedure that involves the use of a device with very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This is sometimes discussed as a non-surgical option for people exploring cosmetic skin procedures.

    What Happens in an Appointment

    • Preparation: A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied before the procedure.

    • Procedure: A device with fine needles is used to make controlled passes over the skin.

    • Duration: Sessions usually last around 45–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

    • Aftercare: It is common to experience redness, swelling or sensitivity that settles over several days. Your practitioner will explain aftercare instructions, including products or activities to avoid.

    Important Information

    • Suitability is assessed during a consultation with a qualified practitioner.

    • Responses to skin needling vary from person to person.

    • Risks can include redness, swelling, bruising, temporary sensitivity, infection, or pigmentation changes. Your practitioner will provide detailed information before you decide whether to proceed.
