Needling & Skin Boosters

Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels within the skin, temporarily reducing the skin barrier and significantly increasing permeability. This allows active ingredients from serums—including peptides, growth factors, and cellular messenger molecules—to penetrate beyond the surface and reach deeper skin layers where they can actively support repair, hydration, and regeneration. This enhanced delivery maximises the effectiveness of professional-grade skincare applied during and immediately after treatment.

The controlled micro-injuries created during microneedling activate fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. This initiates the skin’s natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating tissue repair, neocollagenesis, and structural strengthening. Collagen remodelling continues progressively for 3–6 months, resulting in improved skin texture, firmness, and overall resilience.

RF microneedling combines mechanical needle penetration with targeted radiofrequency energy delivered through the needle tips. This dual action creates controlled thermal zones within the dermis, causing immediate collagen contraction while simultaneously triggering long-term collagen regeneration. The result is enhanced skin tightening, improved laxity, and structural support, with outcomes that continue to evolve as collagen remodelling progresses.

Microneedling is best suited for clients seeking skin rejuvenation through collagen stimulation and enhanced ingredient delivery without heat. It is ideal for improving skin texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, mild acne scarring, and overall skin quality. Microneedling is often preferred for younger skin, early signs of ageing, hormonally sensitive skin, rosacea-prone skin, and pigment-prone or ethnic skin types, where minimising inflammation is essential. It is also the treatment of choice when the primary goal is to maximise the penetration of active ingredients such as peptides, growth factors, and exosomes.

RF microneedling is recommended when concerns extend beyond surface texture to include skin laxity and deeper structural ageing. By combining mechanical microneedling with radiofrequency-induced collagen contraction, RF microneedling is better suited for moderate laxity, deeper wrinkles, and more established acne scarring. It is generally selected for clients who can tolerate controlled thermal stimulation and are seeking more pronounced tighteningalongside long-term collagen remodelling. Careful patient selection and conservative settings are essential, particularly for mature or pigmentation-prone skin.

Microneedling effectively “opens the door” for advanced bioactive ingredients. When available, the application of growth factors and exosomes during treatment can significantly enhance results by supporting cellular communication, repair signalling, and tissue regeneration. These advanced actives work synergistically with microneedling to accelerate healing, improve skin quality, and amplify long-term treatment outcomes.
