Microneedling

Targeted skin regeneration, guided by clinical assessment.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment used to stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes and improve overall skin quality. At Aesthetica, it is not approached as a standardised procedure, but as a controlled method of skin regeneration that is adapted according to individual skin needs.

Treatment is adjusted based on factors such as skin thickness, sensitivity, and the specific concern being addressed, whether scarring, texture irregularities, or early signs of ageing. This allows for more precise treatment and more consistent, long-term outcomes.

How Microneedling Works

The treatment involves the use of fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin. These micro-injuries trigger a natural repair response, initiating a cascade of biological processes involved in tissue regeneration.

This includes an initial inflammatory phase with the release of growth factors, followed by increased fibroblast activity and the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, these processes contribute to improved skin structure, resilience, and texture.

Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, microneedling works by stimulating the skin without removing the outer layer, making it suitable for a wider range of skin types.

Clinical Use and Applications

Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scarring, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and early signs of ageing. It may also support the treatment of pigmentation when applied appropriately.

The effectiveness of treatment depends not only on the procedure itself, but on how it is performed and integrated into a broader treatment plan.

For this reason, microneedling is often combined with targeted active serums or regenerative therapies such as exosomes, enhancing both surface-level and deeper skin responses.

Frequently Asked Questions:

It is often used as part of a broader treatment plan rather than as a once-off procedure. Microneedling works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair response rather than removing or resurfacing the outer layer. This allows for gradual improvement in skin structure while maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier.
Acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles and fine lines, stretch marks, lifting and rejuvenation, skin tightening, improves wrinkles and fine lines, minimizes pore size.
Some improvement in skin texture may be noticed within the first few weeks. However, the primary benefits develop gradually over time as collagen remodelling occurs, often over several weeks to months.
Yes. Microneedling is often more effective when combined with targeted active ingredients or regenerative therapies. These combinations are selected based on your skin condition and treatment goals
Downtime is generally minimal. Redness and mild sensitivity may occur for 24–48 hours following treatment. Most clients are able to return to normal activities shortly thereafter.
