Microneedling
GREAT LOOKING SKIN AT REFRESH MEDISPA
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a pen-like instrument containing fine needles which create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining youthful skin.
About Microneedling
The treatment is versatile and can address a range of skincare concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and pigmentation irregularities. It’s suitable for individuals of all skin types and tones.
During a microneedling session, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. A microneedling device equipped with sterile needles is then passed over the skin, creating tiny punctures. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s healing process, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
As collagen and elastin levels increase, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone. Additionally, microneedling enhances the penetration and effectiveness of topical skincare products, allowing for better absorption of active ingredients.
Following treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity, which typically subside within a few days. It’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

FAQs
- Am I suitable for microneedling?
Suitable candidates for microneedling include individuals seeking to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. It’s ideal for those with concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation. Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones.
- Can microneedling combine with other treatments?
Microneedling can be combined with treatments such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, or topical serums for enhanced results. PRP utilises the body’s own growth factors to promote collagen production, while fillers and serums complement microneedling by providing additional hydration and rejuvenation.
- Is microneedling safe?
Refresh Medispa’s experienced practitioners are fully trained, and have the skills to safely carry out the microneedling procedure. As it’s non-invasive and is performed using sterile equipment, microneedling carries minimal risk of complications. However, mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur post-treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. Adhering to aftercare instructions helps ensure safety and optimal results.
- What downtime should I expect following microneedling?
Following microneedling, mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity are common, lasting up to 1-2 days. In some cases minor flaking or peeling is experienced as the skin heals. Makeup can typically be applied 24 hours post-treatment. Downtime is minimal, allowing individuals to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
- How long does microneedling last?
The results of microneedling can last for several months to over a year, depending on individual skin conditions and the number of treatments received. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 4-6 weeks to sustain results and address ongoing skincare concerns for long-term benefits.
