Stimulate your skin's natural collagen production with medical-grade microneedling. Treat acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and lax skin with clinically proven technology.
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) uses a medical device with ultra-fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin.
At The Yardley Clinic we use professional-grade microneedling devices that penetrate to precise, controlled depths — far more effective and safer than home derma-rollers.
We assess your skin concerns, medical history and suitability for microneedling, and design a bespoke treatment plan.
A topical anaesthetic is applied for 30–45 minutes before treatment to ensure you are comfortable throughout.
The device is passed across the treatment area creating thousands of micro-channels. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area.
Skin is red for 24–48 hours like mild sunburn. Collagen production continues for weeks, with optimal results at 4–6 weeks.
We use professional microneedling systems with precise depth control — not salon-grade or home devices.
Treatment can be combined with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid or growth factor serums for enhanced results.
All treatments are carried out in our CQC-regulated clinic with full medical oversight and sterile technique.
Clinical studies show significant improvement in acne scarring, fine lines and skin texture with a course of microneedling.
A course of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers the best long-term results for most skin concerns.
We assess your skin thoroughly before recommending treatment to ensure microneedling is the right choice for you.
Full face microneedling — ideal for a one-off skin refresh or to try the treatment.
Three sessions for sustained collagen stimulation — recommended for acne scars and anti-ageing.
Six sessions for maximum results — best value for significant scarring or skin laxity concerns.
We apply a numbing cream before treatment, so most patients experience only mild pressure and warmth. Without numbing cream the sensation would be uncomfortable, but with it the procedure is well-tolerated.
Most patients require 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Acne scarring and deeper concerns may require more sessions.
Some improvement is visible within a week, but collagen production continues for up to 3 months after each session. Best results are seen 4–6 weeks after your final treatment.
Expect redness similar to mild sunburn for 24–48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the following day. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 50 for at least a week.
Yes — microneedling pairs excellently with chemical peels, anti-wrinkle injections and skin boosters. We can design a combined treatment plan for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
