Treatment overview
What this treatment can — and cannot — do.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to support remodelling of selected texture concerns such as superficial acne scars, uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores. Treatment depth and number of sessions should be matched to the concern, skin tone and recovery tolerance.
GoalImprove selected texture concerns through controlled skin remodelling with a planned course where needed.Improve selected texture concerns through controlled skin remodelling with a planned course where needed.

Short termProtect healing tissueAvoid activities that could irritate, stretch or traumatize the treated area until the advised stage of recovery.
ProgressJudge the result at the right timeSwelling and healing can temporarily distort the early appearance, so final assessment should follow the treatment-specific healing timeline.
Long termMaintain realistic expectationsMicroneedling cannot erase deep scars or replace surgery for structural concerns, and improvement is gradual rather than immediate.
