Microneedling Treatments in Dundee

Improvements in skin texture from microneedling treatments can be seen within a few days, but full results—such as reduced wrinkles and scars—develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases.

Most clients describe the microneedling treatment as mildly uncomfortable, often likened to a prickling sensation. A numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort, and any sensation typically subsides after the session.

Post-microneedling treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling for 24-48 hours, similar to a sunburn. It’s advised to avoid sun exposure, sweating, and makeup for at least 24 hours.

Typically, 3 microneedling treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results, depending on your skin concerns. Maintenance sessions every few months help to sustain collagen production.

Yes, microneedling treatments are safe for most skin types and tones, as they stimulate collagen without using heat or harsh chemicals. However, those with darker skin tones should follow aftercare instructions closely to minimise the risk of hyperpigmentation
