Microneedling Treatment: Real Skin Results

Smooth out scarring. Support your skin health. No filters needed.

Scars tell a story. But when acne scarring or pigmentation still defines your skin long after breakouts have cleared, it can feel like you’re stuck in a chapter you’ve outgrown.

That’s where microneedling comes in. This is not a gimmick. It’s a clinically proven treatment that stimulates collagen production to soften acne scars, smooth uneven texture, and support healthier, more resilient skin. It doesn’t promise perfection — just meaningful progress, in the right hands.

How does a Microneedling Treatment Work?

It works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin using ultra-fine needles. This triggers your skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin — two essential building blocks for skin strength and structure.

Over time, this helps:

Soften acne scars
Refine pores and skin texture
Lessen post-inflammatory pigmentation
Improve skin firmness and resilience

Why this is best in class:

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling treatment device specifically indicated to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults, and it has additional clearances for improving wrinkles, texture and tone — a rare regulatory status in this segment that speaks directly to its evidence-based, medically graded device with consistent performance.

FAQs

What can I expect in a microneedling treatment?

What to expect

You’ll start with a consultation to assess your skin and determine whether microneedling is right for you — and whether it’s best used alone or alongside other treatments (like laser or prescription skincare).

During treatment, you will be offered a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. You may look a little red for 24–48 hours afterwards, but most people are back to normal life quickly. And with each session, you’ll see your skin gradually become smoother, stronger, and more even in tone.

Microneedling isn’t magic. But it works — and it’s one of the most effective ways to treat scarring with minimal downtime.

Does microneedling work for acne scars?

Yes – especially for textural scarring like pitted or indented marks. It helps rebuild collagen where the skin’s structure has been damaged, improving texture over time. Results are gradual and get better with each session.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people see noticeable improvement after 3 sessions, spaced around 4 weeks apart. We’ll give you a tailored plan based on the depth of your scarring and your skin’s response.

Does Microneedling Hurt?

It is tolerable without numbing cream but we can also use a topical numbing cream, so most people find it very manageable. You might feel some pressure or a scratching sensation.

What is the downtime?

Expect some redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Most people return to daily life straight away. We’ll give you simple aftercare steps to protect and support your skin.

Can microneedling treat pigmentation too?

Yes – it can help reduce post-acne and sun pigmentation by speeding up cell turnover and encouraging even skin tone. It also pairs well with other treatments if pigmentation is your main concern.

Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin tones when delivered by trained professionals — like our team at No. 23 Skin. It’s often a great alternative to laser for melanin-rich skin.

What’s the difference between cosmetic microneedling and what you offer?

At No. 23 Skin, we use medical-grade microneedling devices that go deeper and are handled by trained professionals. That means better results, safely delivered. It’s even used by the consultants in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to support scar healing.

How do I book?

You can book online for microneedling or call us on 02039411815. We will also do a free consultation to ensure your skin is suitable, and usually we can go ahead with treatment on the same day if you would like to.
