Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses very fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural repair response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to maintain skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience.
As collagen levels increase, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone. Unlike treatments that simply work on the surface, microneedling improves skin quality from within, making it a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, and selected areas of the body, depending on individual needs and skin concerns.
Microneedling is generally very well tolerated even without anaesthesia. However, if you have a low tolerance for pain, we can use a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a light scratching feeling rather than pain.
When performed by trained professionals using medical-grade equipment, microneedling is considered extremely safe. At The Artistry Clinic Kensington, we follow strict hygiene protocols and ensure we use sterile equipment for each treatment.
You may experience some mild redness and sensitivity after the treatment. These are normal and usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare guidance to support healing and minimise any temporary side effects.
One of the main reasons patients choose microneedling is its ability to deliver visible results while maintaining a natural appearance. Rather than altering facial structure, microneedling enhances skin quality, leading to healthier, more radiant skin over time.
Microneedling is also suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones and can be adapted to address both early and more established skin concerns.
For many patients, microneedling offers a practical alternative to more invasive procedures, providing noticeable rejuvenation without surgery.
There is no perfect time to start microneedling. It all depends on various factors such as your skin condition, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
You may consider microneedling if you begin to notice:
Microneedling is also commonly used as a preventative treatment to maintain skin quality and slow the development of deeper lines. Your practitioner will help determine whether microneedling is appropriate and how frequently it should be performed.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns. It is particularly effective for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, refining enlarged pores, and improving overall skin texture.
Patients with acne scars often benefit significantly from microneedling, as it stimulates collagen production within scar tissue. Microneedling can also help improve uneven skin tone, mild pigmentation, and sun-damaged skin by stimulating skin renewal.
In addition, microneedling supports firmer, more elastic skin, making it beneficial for patients experiencing early skin laxity.
Microneedling can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance results. The treatment can be paired with skin-boosting serums, polynucleotides, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to further stimulate repair and regeneration.
We can also add microneedling to a broader treatment plan alongside injectables or energy-based treatments, depending on your goals. These combinations are carefully planned to ensure the skin is not overstressed and that each treatment complements the other.
We will only recommend combined treatments if and when they are appropriate and beneficial for your skin.
Preparation plays an important role in achieving the best microneedling results. Before your appointment, you will attend a consultation where your practitioner will assess your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your expectations.
In the days leading up to treatment, you may be advised to avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinoids or exfoliating acids. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and keeping the skin well hydrated can also support healing.
On the day of treatment, arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort throughout the session.
I have been a returning customer to Artistry Clinic for a number of years. My first treatment was for nose reshaping, I was so happy with the results, I have since returned multiple times and have expanded to receive other filler based treatment. I am always made to feel comfortable and have absolute confidence in the results every time.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where one of our experienced practitioners assesses your skin, discusses your concerns, and reviews your medical history. This ensures microneedling is suitable for you and allows us to create a personalised treatment plan. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of expected results.
Stop using retinol or retin-A products, and any topical prescription medications at least 48 hours before your appointment. On your appointment day, ensure your face is clean, and free from makeup and skincare products for better treatment results and smoother post-treatment recovery.
On the day of treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort. The microneedling device is then passed across the treatment area using precise techniques to ensure even coverage. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration rather than pain. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area.
After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are temporary and usually settle within a day or two.
After microneedling, mild redness and sensitivity are common but temporary. Most patients return to normal activities within a day. We also recommend that you don’t wear makeup for 24 hours after the treatment.
Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance may be visible within a few days, while collagen production continues over the following weeks. For optimal results, a course of treatments is often recommended, typically spaced four to six weeks apart.
Your practitioner will advise on the ideal treatment frequency based on your skin concerns and goals.
Choosing the right clinic is essential for safe and effective microneedling results. At The Artistry Clinic Kensington, treatments are performed by experienced practitioners with a deep understanding of skin anatomy and advanced aesthetic techniques.

Only medical-grade devices and professional products are used, and we follow and maintain strict safety standards throughout every stage of treatment. Our goal is to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance skin health and confidence.

Microneedling is a popular, non-surgical aesthetic treatment. It is also called collagen induction. The procedure is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a microneedling device that is moved around the skin to create minor skin injuries. These injuries are to promote the growth of new skin cells.
Microneedling is hailed as one of the newer and safer non-surgical treatments due to the minimal damage that it inflicts and the noticeable results it delivers.
The functioning of microneedling is quite basic but adequate. It goes by many names, including skin needling or collagen induction treatment. It works by inducing regulated micro-injuries in the skin.
During the treatment, we use a device with tiny needles that puncture the top layer of the skin and produce microscopic channels that activate the body’s natural healing process.
These micro-injuries encourage the skin to produce collagen and elastin, the two proteins that help the skin’s strength, general health and elasticity. Collagen is an important component of the skin’s structure, providing stability and firmness, while elastin helps the skin stretch and bounce back to its original shape.
Microneedling also enables improved absorption of topical skincare products such as serums and moisturisers, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide more effective benefits.
Although all microneedling treatments use the same basic principle of creating microscopic channels on the skin, they vary in their application methods and effects. But we can use different methods to achieve results depending on your goals and the nature of your skin.
A derma roller is one of the simpler tools used for microneedling. Derma rollers are mainly designed for home use, but they work using the same principle.
This is a specialised microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using a series of adjustable needles. It can be used to treat a variety of skin issues.
This treatment combines the benefits of microneedling with the skin tightening effects of radiofrequency technology. It can be used to treat fine lines, wrinkles and drooping skin.
We offer microneedling treatment at our City of London Clinic located near Aldgate and other surrounding areas. Another location is the esteemed Harley Street medical district where many other skin rejuvenation treatments are also provided.

Our microneedling treatment offers numerous benefits for the skin, especially for people who are looking for a cosmetic upgrade without going under the knife. Some of the benefits of getting microneedling from Artistic Clinic include the following:
Microneedling is excellent at improving skin texture by encouraging the production of elastin and collagen. As the body continues to age, there is a decline in the production of these two proteins. Microneedling helps to encourage the production of new cells to start.
The process can take days or weeks, depending on how deeply the needles penetrate. However, the skin will start healing instantly, and the texture will become noticeably softer.
Microneedling can also help reduce the appearance of any previous scarring, whether from hyperpigmentation or acne scarring. The treatment encourages the production of new cells to replace damaged skin cells.
Microneedling can also help to reduce the appearance of blackheads and acne. The micro-needles puncture the top layer of the skin, removing recurring blackheads as they emerge. After this process, the pores are visibly smaller, particularly around the nose.
Microneedling can help to slow down the signs of ageing. The treatment can help activate growth factors in the skin, aiding the repair process. The process works when the body gets stimulated, encouraging the natural production of collagen, which reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
The treatment can also be used as a preventative measure for ageing skin. Combining regular microneedling treatments with an effective skincare routine will help the skin look more glowy and youthful.
If you’re struggling with hyperpigmentation, microneedling can help with that, promoting exfoliation of the top layer of the skin where hyperpigmentation often resides. This helps to remove the excess melanin that causes the dark spots or patches associated with hyperpigmentation.
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, allowing for better penetration of depigmenting agents, such as topical creams. This process increases collagen levels and leads to skin rejuvenation, including improved skin tone, texture, and reduced appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Microneedling can help diminish the appearance of acne scars. It creates microchannels in the skin that allow better absorption of topical acne medications. This can improve the effectiveness of acne treatments by ensuring deeper penetration into the skin. This targets the underlying causes of acne, such as bacteria, excess oil and inflammation. This process can also lead to a smoother skin texture
We encourage our clients to understand the different skin treatments we offer at our skin clinic in London to ensure they have realistic expectations.
With microneedling, you may need a few sessions before you can start seeing any long-lasting results. The amount you will need depends on the condition of your skin and factors such as health, elasticity and age.
Micro-needling is one of the safest, non-surgical aesthetic treatments, but it is not without risks. Commonly reported temporary side effects include swelling, redness, itchiness and skin flaking, among others. These are more likely to happen to people with sensitive skin. However, we provide you with aftercare tips that help fast-track the healing process and ensure you can overcome these side effects quickly.
