Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve overall skin quality.

​

The purpose of microneedling is to enhance skin texture, firmness, and tone while reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and stretch marks. The micro-channels also allow for deeper absorption of targeted skincare ingredients, improving hydration and supporting skin repair.

​

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is commonly used to rejuvenate the face, neck, and body, resulting in smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin over time.

​

It is popular for treating:

​

• Acne scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Large pores

• Uneven texture and tone

• Aging spots

• Hiper pigmentation and Malasma

​

​

​

​

What to Apply After Microneedling

​

Microneedling disrupts your skin barrier temporarily, making it more difficult to hydrate. Using a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturiser or hyaluronic acid serum can support hydration and recovery.

We recommend:

​

• Pure hyaluronic acid serum

• Skin barrier cream

• Avoid alcohol, essential oils or scented products for the first 3–5 days.

• Mineral sunscreens with active ingredients zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are more gentle on freshly treated skin after 24hours

​

​

What to Avoid in the First 48 Hours

​

• Makeup: Can irritate the skin and increase the risk of bacteria buildup.

• Heat and sweating: Avoid gym workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers.

• Exfoliants: Do not use scrubs, chemical exfoliants, or peels (AHA/BHAs).

• Retinoids and vitamin C: These active ingredients are too strong during the early healing phase.

 

​​​​

Days 1–3: Healing Phase (Be Extra Gentle)

​

What to expect:

• Redness similar to mild sunburn

• Tightness or sensitivity

• Mild swelling

• Possible dryness or light peeling

Care instructions:

• Hydrate regularly using a fragrance-free hyaluronic acid serum

• Apply a gentle, nourishing moisturiser to support the skin barrier (ceramides recommended)

• Avoid touching your face to prevent bacteria entering the micro-channels

• Skip makeup completely

• Avoid the gym, hot yoga, saunas, and steam rooms

• Sleep on your back with a clean pillowcase

• Wear SPF 50 if outdoors, even on cloudy days

​

​

​

Days 4–7: Skin Recovery Phase (Repair in Progress)

​

What to expect:

• Redness continues to fade

• Skin may feel smooth but slightly dry

• Mild flaking or peeling may persist

• Slight sensitivity to products

Care instructions:

• Continue using a hydrating serum and a gentle, nourishing moisturiser

• Apply mineral SPF 50 daily

• Resume cleansing twice daily using a mild, fragrance-free cleanser

• Avoid active ingredients (retinol, glycolic acid, vitamin C, etc.)

• Do not pick or exfoliate peeling skin — allow it to shed naturally

• Light makeup may be worn after day 5 once sensitivity has fully settled

​
