Microneedling in London
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure to treat skin concerns via natural collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling causes controlled epidermal micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural wound healing process. While minimising cellular damage, this process stimulates natural collagen production, resulting in new youthful skin cells.
Collagen (Glue in Greek)
The majority of changes in your skin caused by ageing happens in the dermis, which loses 20-80% of its thickness with age. Starting in your mid-20’s, natural collagen production starts to decline by about 1.7% each year and is not replenished. Once you reach the age of 40, the effects of collagen loss become more visible when you may have lost 40% of your natural collagen.
There are three phases to the wound-repair process:
- Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
- Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

IS SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING PAINFUL?
A Microneedling treatment is a minimally invasive treatment. Based on your needs, your physician will likely apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area. Most patients report feeling only the slight vibration of SkinPen during the procedure.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE TREATMENT?
Your physician may recommend a course of procedures based on your individual goals. Maintenance of your procedure might require multiple treatments. We would recommend a course of three to six treatments for optimum results
IS IT SAFE TO COMBINE MICRONEEDLING WITH OTHER SKIN TREATMENTS?
Absolutely. At Skinlogica our professional practitioner will guide you through the ins and outs of this treatment and will advise you on what other treatments you can carry out so you don’t cause any damage to your skin.
WHAT WILL MY SKIN LOOK LIKE AFTER A MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?
The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common treatment responses experienced were dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness, and burning. These conditions resolve over a 36 hour period without any further complications.
I had hardly any eyebrows, mostly from overzealous threading and ageing. I decided to get the semi-permanent eyebrows done by Nisha. At my consultation, we discussed shape and thickness, I needed a thicker brow according to my face shape. The pain was bearable. Peeling did occur but that was part of the process and I was informed about this by Nisha at the consultation. Now my eyebrows look great and have thrown out all my pencils etc. They look so good and 100% better than pencils which give a more made up look. Now I just put my makeup and there’s no need to even touch up my eyebrows. They look very natural and I have received many compliments about them. Thanks Nisha for my perfect eyebrows and giving me my confidence back! Can’t stop looking at them in the mirror. Definitely would recommend!
