What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your skin's natural healing response. Using a medical-grade microneedling device, thousands of tiny micro-channels are created within the skin to encourage the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin quality, texture and firmness.

At Laura O'Neill Medical Aesthetics, every treatment is tailored to your individual skin concerns and carried out using medical-grade technology in a safe, clinical environment.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including:

Following a consultation, a personalised treatment plan will be created based on your skin type, concerns and goals.

 

What Happens During Treatment?

Your appointment begins with a detailed skin consultation to assess your concerns and ensure microneedling is suitable for you.

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed before the treatment begins. Depending on the depth of treatment, a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied for comfort. A medical microneedling device is then used to create controlled micro-channels within the skin while targeting the treatment area.

The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

 

Results

Following treatment, your skin begins its natural repair process by producing new collagen and elastin. Improvements develop gradually over the following weeks as the skin regenerates.

Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin after one treatment, while concerns such as acne scarring and fine lines usually benefit from a course of treatments for optimal results.
