Microneedling

A gentle nudge to your own collagen, for smoother, clearer-looking skin.

Appointment: 60 minutes
From: £50
Results: Progressive; best results after a course of 3–4 sessions spaced four weeks apart.

Overview

Microneedling creates thousands of tiny channels in the skin, encouraging your body's natural repair response to lay down fresh collagen and elastin. It's one of our most-loved treatments for texture, scarring and overall skin quality, and it works beautifully as part of a longer plan rather than a one-off.

Important information

Everyone responds a little differently, so results vary from person to person. Every treatment follows a consultation, a look at your health history, a check that it's suitable for you and your consent.

Prescription-only treatments can only go ahead after a separate consultation and suitability assessment with an appropriately qualified independent prescriber.
