What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to trigger your skin’s natural healing response.
This process, called collagen induction therapy, helps the body make more collagen and elastin. This leads to firmer, smoother, and brighter skin.
Dr Effie uses her medical expertise to tailor each microneedling procedure precisely to your needs, ensuring the treatment is safe, comfortable, and effective.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling can improve skin quality, smooth imperfections, and address a wide range of common concerns, including:
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Acne scars and post-inflammatory marks
- Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
- Pigmentation and dark spots
- Stretch marks on the body
- Dull, tired-looking skin
This treatment helps your skin by encouraging healthy cell renewal. It rebuilds the skin’s foundation from within. This leaves your complexion looking refreshed and more even-toned.
How the Procedure Works
Each microneedling session takes around 30 minutes and involves using a device fitted with micro-fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the body’s healing process and increase the absorption of active ingredients applied afterwards.
You can resume normal activity straight away. Mild redness or sensitivity typically resolves within a few hours, and results continue to improve over several weeks as new collagen develops.
We recommend that you undergo a series of 3 treatments, approximately 6 weeks apart to ensure optimal results. When treating acne scars and other skin scarring, it is often necessary to extend your treatment plan by up to 5 or 6 treatments.
Microneedling can be used as a combination treatment with other cosmetic procedures, such as chemical peels. Dr Effie will recommend the best course of treatment for your specific skin condition.

Frequently asked questions
What does microneedling actually do?
Microneedling uses a handheld device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-punctures in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. As a result, it helps treat skin texture, reduce fine lines, and fade acne scars for a smoother, firmer appearance.
How does microneedling improve skin?
By encouraging collagen regeneration, microneedling promotes healthier, more resilient skin from within. Collagen induction therapy slowly changes the skin. It improves tone, firmness, and elasticity. It also reduces the look of stretch marks, large pores, and pigmentation.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling offers visible improvements in:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scarring
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Stretch marks on the body
- Enlarged pores and reduced elasticity
Most patients notice a more radiant, even complexion after just one microneedling session.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results typically last up to six months, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. Many patients decide to keep their results with three treatments. Treatments are spaced about six weeks apart. After that, they get yearly top-ups to help maintain collagen stimulation.
Is microneedling better than Botox?
Microneedling and Botox treat different concerns. Microneedling improves overall skin quality by boosting collagen and elasticity, while Botox relaxes specific muscles to smooth expression lines. Many patients choose to combine both treatments for a comprehensive rejuvenation result.
What are the risks or side effects of microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. You might notice some redness, mild swelling, or a “sunburned” feeling after treatment. These effects will go away in a few hours. Dr Effie uses sterile, medical-grade devices to ensure safety and prevent infection or irritation.
Is there any downtime after microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients resume normal activity immediately after their microneedling procedure. Mild redness may last for several hours, and you’ll be advised to avoid active skincare ingredients or makeup for 24 hours post-treatment.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
- Yes. Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones, making it an inclusive treatment option. Since it does not use heat or light, it has a lower risk of pigmentation than lasers. This is true when done by a qualified medical professional like Dr. Effie.
How much does microneedling cost?
Microneedling at Epitomi Aesthetics starts at £190 per session, or £550 for a course of three. Each treatment includes a full medical consultation, aftercare plan, and doctor-led procedure for your safety and best results.
