How microneedling stimulates collagen to improve texture, pores and glow.
At PharmaSkin Aesthetics, we focus on treatments that work with your skin — not against it. One of the most powerful and science-backed treatments we offer is microneedling.
If you’ve ever wondered what microneedling actually does, who it’s suitable for, and why it’s so effective, this guide explains everything in clear, honest terms.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a medical-grade skin treatment that uses ultra-fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your skin’s natural healing response.
In simple terms:
Microneedling tells your skin to repair, regenerate and rebuild itself.
This leads to:
• Increased collagen
• Increased elastin
• Faster cell turnover
• Healthier, smoother, brighter skin
Unlike many cosmetic treatments that sit on the surface, microneedling works deep within the skin’s structure.
How Does Microneedling Improve Skin?
Your skin sees microneedling as a “micro-injury” and responds by releasing growth factors and healing proteins.
This biological response leads to:
1. New collagen production
Collagen is what keeps skin firm, smooth and youthful. From our mid-20s, collagen levels decline by around 1% per year. Microneedling re-activates collagen production, helping to restore lost firmness and improve fine lines.
2. Improved texture
Rough, uneven or crepey skin becomes smoother as new skin cells replace older, damaged ones.
3. Smaller-looking pores
Pores don’t physically shrink, but as collagen builds around them, they appear tighter and more refined.
4. Natural glow
Increased blood flow, better hydration retention and fresh skin cells give that healthy, radiant look that clients love.
What Can Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments available. It can improve:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone
• Pigmentation and sun damage
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Stretch marks
• Loss of firmness
• Crepey skin
It can also be used on the face, neck, décolletage and body.
Who Is Microneedling For?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and ages.
It is ideal if you:
• Want smoother, fresher skin
• Struggle with acne scars or enlarged pores
• Are noticing early signs of ageing
• Want a natural glow without injectables
• Want long-term skin improvement, not a quick fix
It’s also popular with both men and women because it does not change facial shape or expressions.
Is Microneedling Safe?
When performed by trained medical professionals using sterile equipment, microneedling is very safe.
At PharmaSkin Aesthetics, all treatments are:
• Performed by medically trained practitioners
• Carried out under strict infection control
• Tailored to your skin type and goals
Depth, speed and technique are adjusted carefully to avoid trauma and ensure optimal results.
What Does It Feel Like?
Most clients describe microneedling as a light scratching or vibrating sensation. We apply numbing cream beforehand, making the treatment very comfortable.
Afterwards, the skin may appear pink or flushed for 24–48 hours — similar to mild sunburn — before settling into a fresh, glowing complexion.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For best results, we usually recommend:
3–6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart
Collagen builds gradually, so results continue to improve for several weeks after each session.
Why Choose PharmaSkin Aesthetics for Microneedling?
At PharmaSkin Aesthetics, microneedling is not a beauty treatment — it is a medical skin therapy.

• Assess your skin medically
• Use pharmaceutical-grade serums
