Microneedling in Harrow
Microneedling stimulates your skin's natural healing process to produce more collagen and elastin. At our Harrow clinic, we use professional-grade devices to treat acne scarring, fine lines, stretch marks, and dull skin.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body's wound healing response, producing new collagen and elastin fibres. The result is firmer, smoother skin over the following weeks.
Benefits
Reduced acne scarring, minimised fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin texture and firmness, smaller pore appearance, faded stretch marks, more even skin tone. Results build over time as new collagen forms.
Who is it for?
Anyone with acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, stretch marks, or generally dull and tired-looking skin. It suits most skin types. We'll assess your skin and discuss expectations before starting.
What to expect
We cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream for comfort. Once numb, we use the microneedling device across the treatment areas, adjusting needle depth for different zones. We then apply a calming serum and SPF. The treatment takes 45 minutes to an hour.
Aftercare
Your skin will be red and feel warm for 24 to 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, use gentle products, apply SPF religiously, and don't exfoliate for a week. Full results develop over 4 to 6 weeks.
Microneedling FAQ
Does microneedling hurt?+
We apply numbing cream beforehand, so most clients feel mild pressure and vibration rather than pain. Bony areas like the forehead may feel slightly more intense.
How many microneedling sessions do I need?+
For general skin rejuvenation, 3 sessions work well. For deeper scarring, 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart tend to give the best results.
When will I see results from microneedling?+
You'll notice smoother skin within a week. Real collagen-building results develop over 4 to 8 weeks, improving with each session.
