Microneedling for Healthier, Glowing Skin

Microneedling is one of our favourite treatments for naturally improving your skin from the inside out. It works by creating thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin, encouraging your body to produce more collagen and elastin – the building blocks that keep your skin looking smooth, firm, and healthy. As your skin heals, it becomes brighter, stronger, and more refreshed, giving you a natural glow you’ll love.

This treatment is ideal if you’re concerned about fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, or simply want healthier-looking skin. It’s suitable for most skin types and is a great option if you’d like to refresh your complexion without changing your natural features.

At JLAB Aesthetics, every microneedling treatment is tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals. We’ll take the time to understand what you’d like to achieve before creating a treatment plan that’s right for you. The procedure is quick, and although your skin may look slightly pink for a day or two afterwards, there’s very little downtime, meaning you can get back to your normal routine quickly.

Many clients notice their skin feels smoother and looks brighter after just one treatment, but for the very best results, we usually recommend a course of treatments. Over time, your skin continues to improve as collagen production increases, leaving you with a healthier, fresher complexion and long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Microneedling FAQs

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a collagen-inducing treatment that creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. It helps improve skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality.

Am I suitable for microneedling?

Most healthy adults are suitable for microneedling. During your consultation at JLAB Aesthetics, we’ll assess your skin and discuss whether the treatment is right for you.

Does microneedling hurt?

Your comfort is our priority. A medical-grade numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most clients find the procedure very comfortable.

How long does the treatment take?

Appointments usually take around 45–60 minutes, including your consultation, numbing time, treatment, and aftercare advice.

How many treatments will I need?

For the best results, we usually recommend a course of 3–6 treatments, depending on your skin concerns and goals.

When will I see the results?

Your skin may appear brighter within a few days, with continued improvements over the following weeks as new collagen and elastin are produced.

How long do the results last?

Results can last several months, especially when maintained with a good skincare routine and occasional maintenance treatments.

Is there any downtime?

There is very little downtime. Your skin may appear red, feel warm, and be slightly sensitive for 24–48 hours, similar to mild sunburn.

What skin concerns can microneedling treat?

Microneedling can help improve fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, sun damage, and dull or ageing skin.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. At JLAB Aesthetics, microneedling can be combined with treatments such as polynucleotides, skin boosters, LED light therapy, and chemical peels (when appropriately spaced) to enhance your results.

Is microneedling safe?

When performed by a qualified practitioner, microneedling is a safe and effective treatment. A consultation will ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin and medical history.
