Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy — controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body's healing response, boosting the collagen and elastin essential for skin renewal.
Medical needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production — essential for skin renewal and rejuvenation. In a medical setting, needling depth and protocol are tailored to your skin and concern.

Which resurfacing treatment?
Three routes to better skin texture, from progressive courses to the biggest single-treatment change. Depth, downtime and suitability are assessed at consultation.
| CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing | MicroneedlingThis page | Chemical Peels | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Fully ablative — laser energy precisely removes damaged skin and triggers profound collagen renewal. | Fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your own collagen and elastin. | Clinical-strength peels exfoliate and resurface — from gentle refresh to deeper correction. |
| Best for | Sun damage, deeper lines and acne scarring — the most significant single-treatment change. | Texture, pores, acne scarring and fine lines — progressive, natural improvement. | Acne, pigmentation, dullness and uneven texture. |
| Typical course | Often a single treatment; assessed at consultation. | A course of sessions. | Single treatment or a course, depending on peel depth. |
| Downtime | Several days — fully briefed at consultation. | 1–2 days of redness, similar to mild sunburn. | Varies by peel depth — discussed at consultation. |
