Microneedling
Edinburgh
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is an aesthetic skin treatment where we use either a dermal roller or pen device with small needles attached to cause small micro-injuries to the skin to help with a range of concerns.
​
Depending on the depth of needles we choose, we can treat skin for collagen stimulation, acne scarring, pigmentation, pore reduction, skin laxity and stretch marks.
​
Medical micro needling causes trauma to the deeper levels of the skin, especially when treating deep scarring. For these procedures, we use a topical numbing cream to make this a comfortable experience.
​
Microneedling can be effective alone or as part of other treatments such as a bespoke facial. We can include a skin booster that can enhance your results.
Why use Microneedling?
Micro needling stimulates natural collagen production to revitalise your skin.
​
The perfect alternative to injectable treatments.
