What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin using a medical-grade device. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, increasing the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, youthful skin.
At Skin Boutique, we use SkinPen, the most clinically tested and FDA-approved microneedling device, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and superior results.
How Microneedling Works
1. Consultation & Skin Assessment
Before your treatment, we’ll have a detailed consultation to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. This ensures that microneedling is the right treatment for you.
2. Treatment Process
- Your skin is cleansed and prepped, with a numbing cream applied to minimise discomfort.
- The SkinPen device creates thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin, stimulating a natural healing response.
- A soothing serum is applied post-treatment to aid in recovery.
3. Recovery & Aftercare
- Expect mild redness and slight sensitivity for up to 48 hours—similar to a light sunburn.
- You’ll receive aftercare guidance, including avoiding sun exposure and sticking to a gentle skincare routine.
- Visible improvements typically appear within 3–4 weeks, with full results developing over time.
How Long Do Microneedling Results Last?
Microneedling results build gradually, with most clients seeing improvements within 4 weeks. The boost in collagen production continues for several months, with results lasting up to 6 months.
For best results, we recommend a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns.
