What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a popular skin treatment that works by using tiny, fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin.
These tiny punctures stimulate your skin's natural healing process, which ramps up collagen and elastin production. As a result, you get smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
​
While Microneedling is well known for its use on the face, it’s equally effective for the body. It can be performed on larger areas like the thighs, abdomen, arms and even the back.
Whether you’re dealing with stretch marks, uneven skin texture, or simply want to rejuvenate a certain area, microneedling can help improve the overall appearance of your body’s skin.
It’s a versatile, minimally invasive treatment that works with your body’s natural healing mechanisms to leave you with refreshed and revitalised skin.

What Are The Benefits Of Microneedling For The Body?
Whether you’re dealing with stretch marks, scarring or just want smoother, firmer skin, this treatment can help address a range of body concerns.
​
Improved Skin Texture – Microneedling helps smooth out rough or uneven skin, giving you a more even skin tone and texture. It's great for areas that may feel bumpy or have an aged appearance.
​
Reduced Stretch Marks – Stretch marks are a common concern, especially after pregnancy or weight changes. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can help reduce their appearance.
​
Tighter, Firmer Skin – Microneedling promotes skin tightening, helping to lift and firm areas that may feel a bit saggy, like the stomach or thighs.
​
Diminished Scarring – Whether you have old scars from acne, injury or surgery, microneedling can reduce their appearance over time. By encouraging your skin to heal naturally, it helps fade scars, making them less noticeable.​

Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients start seeing results after 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area being treated and the specific skin concerns you're looking to address.
Is Microneedling For The Body Painful?
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. To make the treatment as comfortable as possible, we apply a topical numbing cream to the area before starting, so you won’t feel much discomfort during the procedure.
What Is The Downtime After Treatment?
Downtime is minimal! You may experience some redness and slight swelling for a few hours to a day, but you should be able to return to your normal routine the following day.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness, mild swelling, or a slight bruising in the treated areas. These should subside within a day or two.
Can Microneedling Be Used On Sensitive Skin Areas?
Yes, microneedling is safe for many parts of the body, including more sensitive areas like the inner thighs or abdomen. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin to ensure that the treatment is suitable for your needs.
