Collagen Induction (CI) microneedling is a proven way to refresh and repair your skin by harnessing your body’s own natural healing response. It’s safe, effective, and tailored to your needs, whether you’re looking for a healthy glow or improvement in scars and signs of ageing.
The Benefits You’ll Notice
- Smoother, firmer skin – as new collagen forms, your skin feels tighter and more refined.
- Softening of lines and wrinkles – collagen renewal helps reduce visible ageing.
- A brighter, more even tone – cell turnover refreshes dull or sun-damaged skin.
- Refined pores – improved elasticity minimises the look of enlarged pores.
How Does CI Microneedling Work?
- Controlled micro-injuries: Very fine, sterile needles create thousands of tiny punctures in the skin. These are not harmful but act as “wake-up calls” that trigger your body’s repair system.
- Collagen and elastin boost: In response, fibroblast cells step up production of collagen and elastin — key proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
- Enhanced absorption: The tiny microchannels also allow advanced serums, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or exosomes, to penetrate deeply and work more effectively.
This process gradually remodels the skin from within, leading to stronger, plumper, and younger-looking skin.
Our Expertise and Technology
We only use UK-approved, medical-grade devices with an excellent safety record:
- Dermaroller® XCellarisPro Twist – ideal for precision treatments up to 2.5 mm depth.
- EndyMed® Intensif – combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy for deeper collagen stimulation up to 5.0 mm.
This allows us to personalise your treatment for your skin type, concern, and comfort level.
Accelerating and Enhancing Results
To maximise results, we often combine microneedling with regenerative serums:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP is made from a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the platelets. Platelets release natural growth factors which:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production.
- Encourage new, healthy skin cells.
- Reduce inflammation and promote healing after treatment.
Because PRP comes from your own body, it is 100% natural, safe, and free from allergy risk.
Exosomes
Exosomes are nano-sized messengers that transfer growth factors and proteins between cells, helping skin to repair more effectively. The exosomes we use are ethically derived from umbilical cords of free-ranging red deer in New Zealand (a natural by-product of farming where no harm comes to mother or calf).
The exosome serum we use contains ingredient to support skin repair by:
- Reducing inflammation and redness after treatment.
- Boosting fibroblast activity to improve firmness and texture.
- Evening skin tone and reducing pigmentation.
- Enhancing hydration with natural hyaluronic acid.
What is Morpheuse8?
Morpheus8 is a microneedling pen that combines radiofrequency (RF), but EndyMed® is widely regarded as the more advanced and patient-friendly option.
Its ultra-thin, gold-plated needles penetrate deeper into the skin with fewer passes, allowing for shorter treatment times, less discomfort, and a faster recovery. Patients often find EndyMed® noticeably more comfortable than Morpheus8, while still delivering powerful collagen-stimulating results.
What to Expect
What Happens During Treatment?
- Before treatment: A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to keep you comfortable.
- During treatment: The microneedling handpiece is moved systematically across your skin. Depth and settings are adjusted depending on the area and concern being treated.
- Immediately afterwards: A soothing gel or serum is applied. Your skin will look red and feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. This usually settles within 1–2 days.
What Happens After Treatment?
Short-term recovery:
- Mild redness and swelling for 1–2 days.
- Micro-crusting may appear but resolves within 5 days.
Results timeline:
- First visible improvements appear in 2–4 weeks.
- A course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended.
- Optimal results develop around 6 months after your final treatment, once collagen remodelling is complete.
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
Suitable for men and women of most ages and skin tone, but not suitable for:
- Fragile, thinning skin.
- Those with microneedling contraindications.
