Microneedling Treatments in Edinburgh

Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate skin and restore confidence. It works on two levels: renewing the surface for a brighter complexion, and stimulating deep collagen production for firmer, smoother, more resilient skin.

We offer the full spectrum of treatments - from gentle microchannel facials to advanced radiofrequency (RF) collagen induction, each tailored to your individual goals.

Why Choose Us?
Dr Victoria pioneered microneedling in Scotland over 15 years ago, moving from the first surgical derma rollers to today’s gold standard EndyMed® RF system. Our clinic has consistently led the way in innovation, comfort, and safety.

By combining advanced serums, regenerative science (exosomes and polynucleotides), and proven RF technology, we deliver personalised treatments with natural-looking results and a proven safety record.

Benefits of Microneedling

Healthy, refreshed skin – stimulates cell renewal for a brighter complexion.
Collagen and elastin boost – firms and plumps skin softening fine lines.
Scar improvement – reduces the visibility of acne, surgical and trauma scars.
Stretch mark reduction – smooths and blends uneven texture.
Inclusive and safe – lower risk of pigmentation than peels or lasers.

Microchannel Facials

A great starting point for first-time patients, microchanneling creates tiny, invisible openings in the skin barrier to a depth of 0.5 to 1.5 mm. These microchannels act as doorways, allowing active serums to penetrate where they are most effective.

Customisable options include:

Exosomes nano-sized powerhouses rich in growth factors and RNA to supercharge repair and collagen production.
Polynucleotides contains purified DNA fragments to enhance hydration and skin elasticity.

Recommended course: 3-6 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6 months.

Collagen Induction Microneedling

Collagen Induction (CI) microneedling works at greater depths (0.5–5.0 mm) to remodel the skin more intensively. It can also be paired with radiofrequency (RF) to further stimulate collagen from within.

Customisable options include:

Radiofrequency (RF) – boosts collagen and elastin, improving firmness and skin tightening.
Advanced Serums – including Exosomes and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance repair.

Recommended course: 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–9 months.

Microneedling for Scars

Microneedling is highly effective for reducing acne scars, trauma scars, and surgical scars. It works by stimulating controlled healing, rebuilding smoother, healthier skin.

Treatment plans start with 5 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, with noticeable improvements from session 2–3.

Microneedling for Stretch Marks

Stretch marks form when skin is stretched faster than its collagen can adapt. RF microneedling targets the damaged dermal layer, improving texture, colour, and elasticity.

Treatment plans start with 5 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, with noticeable improvements from session 2–3.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is microneedling safe?

Microneedling has an excellent safety record when performed in a regulated medical setting.

All treatments are carried out by trained professionals. Our clinic is inspected by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, who check our environment, products, and staff credentials against approved medical standards. This ensures your microneedling treatment is both safe and effective, with care you can trust.

Does microneedling hurt?

Microchannel facials are usually comfortable, as the needle depth is less than 1.5 mm. Most people describe the feeling as a light scratchiness, and your practitioner will adjust the settings to keep you relaxed. Anaesthetic cream isn’t used at this level, as it can interfere with the tiny microchannels and reduce how well the serums absorb.

For deeper collagen-induction microneedling, a numbing cream is applied to make the treatment more comfortable. In certain advanced treatments, such as scar work, your practitioner may also use a small local anaesthetic injection to ensure you stay at ease throughout.

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.
