Microneedling
Microneedling in Cheltenham
Smooth, Firm and Rejuvenate Your Skin
​​​
Microneedling is the go-to treatment for that glass skin look. It's a perfect lunch time treatment with little to no downtime that can still have amazing benefits for your skin. It's a powerful yet natural way to improve your skin’s texture, firmness, fine lines, pores, hydration, skin barrier and overall health.
​​
Sometimes called collagen induction therapy, this treatment works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. These stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging fresh collagen and elastin production — the key building blocks for plump, youthful skin. It also encourages cell turnover to clear dead skin cells, and reduce brown spots and pigmentation on the skin. ​
What Can Microneedling Help With?
​
Microneedling is incredibly versatile and can help with most cosmetic skin concerns, from wrinkles, to acne scars, rough, sun damaged skin, age spots (pigmentation) large pores, stretch marks and dull, tired skin. Microneedling can also help to improve red and raised scars due to trauma or surgery. As the treatment harnesses your skin’s own natural repair process, results look fresh, subtle, and beautifully natural.
​
Why Choose Medical Microneedling?
​
Not all microneedling treatments are the same. As a Registered Nurse and Independent Prescriber, I can offer medical microneedling in my Cheltenham aesthetics clinic, which allows for a deeper, more effective treatment compared to home devices or beauty salons. Medical-grade microneedling penetrates the skin to the deeper levels for stimulating collagen, giving you stronger and longer-lasting results particularly with scarring and stretch marks. I use a premium, high speed device which creates the most micro-channels in the skin with the least discomfort and post-procedure redness.
​
​What to Expect During Treatment
​
Your skin is prepared by cleansing and disinfecting the skin. The microneedling device is gently passed over the skin, creating tiny micro-channels. Most people say microneedling feels like a slight scratching or simply a vibrating sensation across the skin.
Your skin may appear slightly pink for 24–48 hours, similar to mild sunburn, but downtime is minimal. Within weeks, your skin will look brighter and feel smoother, with continued improvement as new collagen develops over the following months.
​​
Enhance Your Results
​
Healthy, hydrated skin responds better to microneedling. It's therefore important to take good care of your skin and body in the run up to your procedure, during your course of treatment and beyond if you want to keep your results. Stay well hydrated and ensure a good skincare routine that gently cares for, exfoliates and hydrates the skin. We recommend preparing your skin with an AlumierMD skincare routine to enhance and maintain your result-this can be recommended during your consultation. For even better results, you may wish to combine your microneedling with treatments such as Profhilo, Sunekos, or alternated every month with Corrective Skin Peels. If you have severe skin issues to address such as advanced ageing, widespread pigmentation or extensive scarring, Radiofrequency Microneedling can be more effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is microneedling painful?
Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort.
​
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
While some clients see results after just one session, a course of 3–6 treatments is usually recommended for best results, depending on your skin concerns.
​
Do I need to take time off for microneedling?
No not at all. Downtime is minimal — your skin may be slightly pink and a little sensitive for a day or two but you can carry on with your normal activities for most parts.
Is microneedling safe?
Yes, Microneedling is one of the safest, low risk aesthetic treatments available.
​​
Is Microneedling Safe for Dark Skin? ​​
​​
Fitzpatrick skin types 4-6 can be prone to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation when the skin experiences trauma either during injury, breakouts, or after an invasive treatment. Whilst this is usually temporary, it can be distressing. Microneedling is known to have a very low risk of triggering hyperpigmentation in all skin types, and is in fact used to treat the condition effectively.
