Microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment that helps to rejuvenate the skin from within. Using a device equipped with fine needles, controlled micro-injuries are created on the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing response and encouraging fresh collagen and elastin production.
The treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes, including preparation and the application of a hyaluronic acid serum followed by a cooling gold collagen mask. While the procedure is minimally invasive, it delivers impressive improvements in skin texture, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and overall firmness.
Skin may appear slightly flushed for 24–48 hours post-treatment, with results becoming more visible over the following weeks as new collagen develops. For optimal results, a course of sessions is often recommended, revealing smoother, plumper, and more radiant skin with lasting benefits.
For the first 24 hours: avoid makeup. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser only.
For the first 48 hours: avoid heavy sweating, the gym, saunas, and direct sun.
For the first 7 days: avoid retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, and any exfoliating products.
Apply SPF 30 or higher daily throughout your recovery.
There is a mild scratching sensation during treatment but it is not painful. A cold gold collagen mask is applied at the end to cool the skin and soothe any redness.
Microneedling can improve a wide range of concerns including fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, dullness, hydration, and loss of firmness. It is suitable for most skin types and tones.
A course of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Some clients see improvement after the first session, with results building progressively with each treatment.
Skin often looks refreshed and hydrated within a few days of your first treatment. The deeper benefits (improved texture, reduced scarring, and increased firmness) develop over 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen matures. The most visible results are usually seen after a completed course of sessions.
Standard microneedling uses hyaluronic acid or squaline during the procedure. Advanced microneedling uses specialist skin boosters that deliver regenerative active ingredients deeper into the skin for enhanced results. Jovanne can advise which is right for you at your consultation.
