Ageing shows up differently for everyone, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, loss of firmness, or a dull complexion. At Skin and Body Solutions, we offer advanced, non-surgical aesthetic treatments that are designed to work with your skin, not against it. Our goal is to help your skin regenerate, rebuild and glow naturally, using the power of science and your body’s own healing processes.
Microneedling is one of our most effective and versatile treatments for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation. It is a safe, proven technique that helps you improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and restore elasticity, without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your skin’s natural repair response, boosting collagen and elastin production, which are key to firm, smooth skin.
During your appointment, we pair microneedling with powerful active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or growth factors. This enhances the absorption of these nutrients and accelerates visible results.
What can microneedling help with?
Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for different skin concerns. It is suitable for all phototypes, including darker skin tones that are often more sensitive to other procedures.
Some of the most common reasons people choose microneedling include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture or tone
- Acne and acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Stretchmarks
- Post-surgical or burn scarring
- Hyperpigmentation
- Skin laxity and dullness
- Alopecia (hair thinning)
Microneedling is also a gentle, effective treatment option for the neck, décolletage, and hands, areas where ageing often appears early.
What about radiofrequency microneedling?
If you are looking for firmer, lifted skin with enhanced rejuvenation, radiofrequency microneedling may be recommended. This combines traditional microneedling with targeted radiofrequency energy to stimulate deeper layers of your skin.
The dual action of micro-injuries and heat helps:
- Firm and tighten sagging skin>
- Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
- Improve skin texture
- Minimise scars and large pores
- Deliver long-term collagen stimulation
What should you expect after treatment?
After your microneedling session, your skin may appear slightly red or feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn.
This usually settles within a day.
Your aftercare plan includes:
- Applying a hydrating recovery moisturiser
- Avoiding direct sun exposure
- Using SPF consistently
- Avoiding makeup for 24 hours
Results are not immediate because collagen takes time to rebuild. You can typically expect visible improvements within 4 to 6 weeks, with the best results seen after 3 to 6 sessions. Maintenance sessions are recommended to prolong your results.
Is there a difference between microneedling, skin peels or laser?
Yes, and the good news is that you do not need to choose just one. At Skin and Body Solutions, microneedling can be part of a wider anti-ageing treatment program, including:
- Biomedical Emporium Skin Peels: Targets pigmentation, dullness, and ageing with active exfoliants and bio-compounds.
