Microneedling
About Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process is designed to support the skin’s natural renewal cycle and may improve the appearance of surface concerns such as texture irregularities, uneven tone, and enlarged pores.
What Can Microneedling Address?
Microneedling may help improve the visible appearance of:
- uneven skin texture
- enlarged pores
- pigment irregularities
- superficial scarring*
- fine lines on the face and neck
*Outcomes vary between individuals. Not all types of scarring are suitable for this procedure, and your practitioner will assess this during consultation.
How the Procedure Works
The device uses precision-controlled needles to create tiny channels in the skin’s surface. This triggers the body’s natural repair response, which over time may lead to a smoother and more even-looking complexion. Multiple sessions are often recommended, depending on your skin and treatment goals.
Safety and Recovery
Microneedling is performed at Shape Clinic by qualified skin practitioners using sterile, single-use needle cartridges. Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, or mild sensitivity, usually settling within a few days. Less common side effects, such as infection or pigment changes, will be explained during your consultation.
Disclaimer
Suitable for adults aged 18 years and over. All cosmetic procedures carry risks, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Individual responses differ, and not all skin concerns are appropriate for microneedling. A consultation with a registered health practitioner is essential to determine suitability and to discuss alternatives.
