What is Microneedling?

Micro needling – also known as collagen induction therapy – is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which leads to smoother, firmer, more youthful skin.

It’s like giving your skin a workout – with results that just keep getting better over time.

How Does Microneedling Work?

A microneedling device (like a pen or roller) is used to create precise micro-punctures in the skin’s surface. This prompts your skin to heal itself, boosting collagen and increasing the absorption of any active serums applied during treatment.

At Lianne Powell Aesthetics, we use medical-grade microneedling techniques with optional add-ons like Mesoestetic serums, polynucleotides, or vitamin C to target specific skin concerns.

Benefits of Microneedling

• Improves skin texture and tone
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Fades acne scars and pigmentation
• Tightens enlarged pores
• Restores radiance to dull, tired skin
• Targets stretch marks and scarring on face or body
• Boosts product absorption for better skincare results

Who is Microneedling Good For?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is especially effective for:

• Ageing skin with fine lines or loss of elasticity
• Acne-prone skin or post-acne scarring
• Pigmentation issues, such as melasma or sun damage
• Dull or rough skin texture
• Stretch marks on areas like the stomach or thighs

It’s a great all-rounder and can be tailored to different concerns, making it one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic skincare.
