How it works

Microneedling works by gliding the device over the skin’s surface and using tiny needles to create small perforations or ‘micro-channels’ in the skin. These are essentially tiny wounds, which stimulate your body’s natural healing response and encourages your skin to make new, collagen-rich tissue.

These micro-channels also allow the active ingredients in your skincare products to penetrate deeper into your skin, delivering even more powerful results.

What to Expect During Treatment

During the treatment, you will feel slight pressure and a prickling sensation as the device moves across the treatment area. Treatment is fast, so any discomfort is short-lived and tolerable. Warmth and slight tingling are normal.

What to Expect After Treatment

• 24-48 hours: mild to moderate erythema, mild swelling
• 1-2 days: mild erythema, mild itchiness, tight/dry sensation
• 2-3 days: mild skin flaking, dry sensation
• 3-4 days: slight dryness
• 4-7 days: full recovery
