Micro-
needling
Choose between precision microneedling for texture and refinement, or RF microneedling for structural transformation. Both rebuild skin from within through your body's own regenerative response.
"Microneedling doesn't add anything artificial to the skin — it signals the body to do what it already knows how to do. We just make the signal louder."
Skin Concerns We Treat
Fine lines & early wrinkles
Collagen induction plumps the dermis from within, softening surface lines progressively over multiple sessions.
Acne scarring
Micro-channels break up fibrous scar tissue and stimulate fresh collagen, visibly smoothing rolling and boxcar scars.
Enlarged pores
Increased collagen production tightens the pore walls, reducing their visible diameter — especially on the nose and cheeks.
Uneven skin texture
Surface irregularities are refined as the skin undergoes controlled remodelling, revealing a smoother, more uniform texture.
Dullness & hyperpigmentation
The micro-trauma response accelerates cellular turnover, fading superficial pigmentation and restoring radiance.
Mild skin laxity
Progressive elastin and collagen rebuilding improves skin firmness and tone — particularly effective on the neck and décolleté.
The Procedure, Step by Step
Skin Preparation
Your skin is cleansed with a gentle yet thorough cleanser to remove makeup, SPF, and surface oils. A pH-balancing toner is applied to prep the skin barrier and ensure the numbing agent penetrates evenly.
Topical Numbing
A medical-grade topical anesthetic (lidocaine cream) is applied across the entire treatment area and left on for 20–30 minutes. This renders the procedure comfortable for the vast majority of clients — even those treating sensitive zones like the forehead or upper lip.
The Microneedling Pass
Using a medical-grade automated pen device with sterile, single-use needle cartridges, your provider creates thousands of controlled micro-channels across the skin at precisely calibrated depths (typically 0.5–2.5mm depending on the zone and concern). The handpiece glides smoothly across the skin in overlapping passes, ensuring even coverage.
Booster Infusion
Immediately post-needling, your chosen booster (hyaluronic acid serum, peptides, PRP, or PLLA Cube) is massaged into the open channels. With the skin barrier temporarily permeable, absorption is dramatically increased compared to topical application alone — this is the optimal window for active delivery.
Calming & Protection
A cooling, anti-inflammatory mask is applied to soothe redness and begin the skin's recovery process. The session closes with a barrier repair serum and broad-spectrum SPF. You'll leave with a light pink glow — similar in appearance to a mild sunburn — that resolves within 12–24 hours.
Amplify Your Results
Microneedling opens a window of unparalleled skin permeability. The right booster — infused immediately after needling — reaches depths topical application alone never can. Here's how to choose the right one for your concern.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Your own blood is centrifuged to isolate platelet-rich plasma — a concentrated cocktail of growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF) that dramatically accelerates the wound-healing cascade. When infused into fresh micro-channels, PRP turbocharges collagen and elastin synthesis beyond what microneedling alone can achieve. Ideal for clients with significant acne scarring, post-surgical scars, or those seeking maximum regenerative output. Results are more dramatic but take longer to develop (8–12 weeks to peak).
Ideal for
- Deep acne & surgical scars
- Accelerated skin healing
- Maximum collagen stimulation
- Hair loss (scalp microneedling)
Peptide Cocktail
A pharmaceutical-grade blend of biomimetic peptides — including signal peptides (stimulate collagen production), carrier peptides (deliver copper and manganese), and neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptides (relax expression lines). Peptides work at the cellular signalling level, making them ideal as a first booster or for clients who prefer a blood-free protocol. Results are subtle and cumulative — a 3-session series produces visible improvements in radiance, fine lines, and firmness with zero downtime.
Ideal for
- Fine lines & early aging
- General skin brightening
- First-time microneedling clients
- Sensitive skin (well-tolerated)
PLLA Cube Skin Booster
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) in a unique micro-cube suspension — a biostimulator that works unlike standard hyaluronic acid fillers. PLLA cubes remain in the dermis as a structural scaffold, triggering a sustained fibroblast activation response that produces new collagen over 3–6 months. The result is genuine volumetric improvement and skin thickening — not water-retention (as with HA). Particularly effective for clients who notice skin thinning, loss of firmness, or structural collagen decline. Not suitable as a standalone booster for all skin types — your provider will advise.
Ideal for
- Skin thinning & collagen loss
- Deeper wrinkles & laxity
- Neck, décolleté & hands
- Long-lasting structural results

How to Prepare
Avoid Retinoids 5 Days Before
Discontinue vitamin A derivatives (retinol, tretinoin, retinaldehyde) for at least 5 days prior. Active retinoids sensitise the skin and can increase post-treatment inflammation.
No Sun Exposure for 2 Weeks
Do not tan, use tanning beds, or allow sustained sun exposure in the 2 weeks before your appointment. Tanned skin has elevated melanin activity and a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after micro-trauma.
Avoid Actives for 5 Days
Stop AHAs (glycolic, lactic), BHAs (salicylic), vitamin C serums, and benzoyl peroxide 5 days before treatment. These increase skin sensitivity.
Keep Skin Well-Hydrated
Use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser twice daily in the week leading up to your session. Well-hydrated skin responds better to microneedling and recovers faster.
Medications to Disclose
Inform your provider if you are taking blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or are on Accutane (must be off for 6 months). Active cold sores, open breakouts, or skin infections are contraindications — rebook for a clear skin day.
Arrive with Clean Skin
Come with a clean, bare face — no makeup, SPF, or serums. Products left on the skin during treatment can be driven into micro-channels, causing reactions.
Post-Care Instructions
First 24 Hours
- Do not wash your face for the first 4–6 hours post-treatment
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or picking the skin
- No makeup, actives, or retinoids
- Keep skin cool — no saunas, steam, or intense exercise
- Apply provided barrier repair serum and SPF only
Days 2–5
- Gentle cleanser only — no exfoliants
- Continue SPF every morning, even indoors
- Use a ceramide or peptide-based moisturiser 2x daily
- Skin may appear dry, tight, or mildly flaky — this is the remodelling phase
- Avoid chlorine (swimming pools) for 5 days
After Day 5
- Gradually reintroduce actives starting with vitamin C
- Retinoids may be resumed after full 7–10 days
- Results become progressively visible from week 3–4
- Peak collagen response: 6–8 weeks post-treatment
- Maintenance recommended every 4–6 weeks for optimal outcomes
