Overview
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which may support collagen remodelling in selected concerns.
What concerns it may be used for
It may be considered for selected atrophic acne scars and texture. It is not appropriate for active infection or some inflammatory conditions.
How it generally works
A clinician prepares the skin and uses a professional device at a depth chosen for that area. This is not a home-needling guide.
Who may be considered
People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.
Safety and clinical assessment
Risks can include infection, pigment change, scarring and prolonged redness. Sterile technique and aftercare matter. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
Aftercare
The clinic will advise on cleansing, sunscreen and when to restart actives. Do not treat the skin at home with unsterile rollers.
