Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy that triggers your skin's natural repair — smoothing texture, fading scars, and restoring radiance from within.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy or skin needling — is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.
How It Works
Micro-Injury
Fine needles create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface, triggering the wound-healing cascade.
Collagen Response
Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin fibres over the following 4–6 weeks.
Remodelling
Skin gradually remodels with improved texture, reduced scarring, and a firmer, more luminous complexion.

Results & Duration
Skin texture, glow, and fine line improvement lasts approximately 3–5 months after a full course. Collagen production continues for up to 6 months post-treatment, meaning results may actually improve before tapering.
