MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a medically proven skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality by stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes. At Adare Dermatology, microneedling is performed in a controlled clinical environment and tailored to your individual skin concerns, ensuring safe, effective, and natural-looking results.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a medical device with fine, sterile needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the production of collagen and elastin — essential components for firm, smooth, and healthy skin.

Microneedling can help improve:

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Acne scars and textural irregularities
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone and dullness
• Mild pigmentation
• Overall skin quality and firmness

By encouraging natural skin renewal, microneedling improves skin from within rather than simply masking surface concerns.

Why Choose Medical Microneedling?

While microneedling is widely available, medical oversight is essential for safety and optimal results. Incorrect technique or device choice can lead to irritation, infection, or pigmentation problems.

At Adare Dermatology, microneedling treatments are:

• Dermatology-led and medically supervised
• Performed using sterile, medical-grade devices
• Tailored to skin type, concern, and tolerance
• Supported with professional aftercare

Our focus is always on skin health, safety, and long-term improvement.

Your Microneedling Consultation

Every microneedling treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. This ensures the treatment is appropriate and aligned with your goals.

During your consultation, we will:

• Assess your skin type, texture, and concerns
• Discuss your treatment goals and expectations
• Review medical history and skincare routine
• Determine suitability for microneedling
• Design a personalised treatment plan

This careful assessment helps achieve effective results while minimising risks.

The Treatment Process

• The skin is thoroughly cleansed
• A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort
• The microneedling device is passed evenly over the skin
• Treatment depth is adjusted according to the area and concern

The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

What Does It Feel Like?

Most patients describe microneedling as mildly uncomfortable but very manageable. Comfort measures are used throughout the treatment.

Results and Treatment Course

Following microneedling, the skin may appear red and feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. This usually settles within 24–48 hours.

As collagen production increases over the following weeks, patients often notice:

• Smoother skin texture
• Improved firmness and elasticity
• Reduced appearance of scars and pores
• Brighter, more even skin tone

For best results, a course of treatments is often recommended, spaced several weeks apart.

Aftercare and Recovery

Proper aftercare is essential to protect the skin and enhance results. We provide clear guidance on:

• Gentle skincare routines
• Avoiding active ingredients temporarily
• Sun protection to prevent pigmentation
• When to resume normal skincare and treatments

Most patients return to normal activities quickly.

Combining Microneedling With Other Treatments

Microneedling can be combined with other dermatology or aesthetic treatments as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan. Combination treatments are carefully planned to ensure safety and maximise results.
