About the treatment

What is microneedling?

Microneedling uses a precisely controlled device to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin, triggering a controlled healing response that stimulates new collagen and elastin production.

Controlled healing for genuinely better skin

The skin’s response to microneedling is the same as its response to any small wound: it triggers the production of new collagen, new elastin and new healthy skin cells to repair the micro-channels created by the device. The result, over a course of sessions, is a genuine improvement in skin quality from within.

Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments available. It improves acne scarring, reduces fine lines, evens skin tone, tightens pores and improves overall radiance, all without the use of chemicals, lasers or surgery.

When combined with PRP, microneedling becomes significantly more powerful. The growth factors in PRP are driven deep into the skin through the micro-channels, dramatically amplifying the collagen stimulation response.

The treatment is suitable for most skin types and tones, and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and body.

The process

How does microneedling work?

A well-tolerated, minimally invasive treatment with a short recovery period and cumulative results that build with each session.

01
Consultation
Dr Corcoran assesses your skin concerns and determines the appropriate needle depth and protocol for your skin type.
02
Preparation
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 30 to 45 minutes prior to treatment, ensuring the procedure is comfortable throughout.
03
Treatment
A medical-grade microneedling device creates thousands of controlled micro-channels at a precise depth. Sessions typically take 45 to 60 minutes.
04
Recovery
Redness and mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours is normal. Most patients return to normal activities the following day.
Honest suitability

Is microneedling right for you?

Dr Corcoran confirms suitability properly at consultation, but this is a fair starting point.

Microneedling is often a good fit if
  • You have acne scarring, enlarged pores or uneven texture
  • You want a treatment suitable for darker skin tones without the risks some lasers carry
  • You can plan around 24 to 48 hours of visible redness
  • You want a versatile treatment that can be combined with PRP for enhanced results
Worth discussing first if
  • You have active acne, cold sores, or skin infections in the treatment area
  • You are looking for a single-session, dramatic transformation
  • You have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood-thinning medication
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding

Skin texture and toneAccelerates cell turnover and collagen synthesis, improving the overall quality and radiance of the skin surface.
