Think of it as hitting refresh on your skin. Microneedling, also known as skin needling, creates thousands of micro-channels that trigger your skin's natural repair mode, so it starts rebuilding collagen from the inside out. Over a course of sessions, that shows up as smoother texture, tighter-looking pores and a firmer, more even complexion.

We take it further with exsiLun ANTIST EXO-AGING BOOSTER, applied straight onto the skin (never injected) while the channels are open, so hydration and recovery ingredients can actually get to work instead of sitting on the surface. Less downtime discomfort, faster-looking bounce back, better glow.

Great For
Rough or uneven texture Enlarged pores Fine lines Loss of firmness Acne scarring Dull, tired skin

If your skincare routine has plateaued and you feel like your skin needs more than another serum, this is usually the move.

What Happens During Treatment
  1. Consultation. We check your skin and history, then set the needle depth to suit you, not a one-size-fits-all setting.
  2. Microneedling. A sterile, single-use cartridge treats the area. Most clients find it more prickly and warm than painful.
  3. Booster application. The exsiLun booster goes on while your skin is most receptive, to help it recover faster and glow sooner.
  4. Soothing finish. A calming mask, recovery products and SPF send you home comfortable.
Downtime & What to Expect

Straight after, skin looks flushed and feels warm and tight, like a light sunburn, that's completely normal and part of the process working. Redness typically settles within 24-48 hours, with the occasional bit of mild dryness or flaking for a couple of days after that. Keep up the aftercare even once it looks calm, the skin barrier is still quietly finishing its recovery.

Planning something special? Book your first session at least a week out so your skin has time to fully settle into its glow.

What You Can Expect

Even after one session, most clients notice skin that looks more hydrated, fresh and awake once the redness settles. The bigger changes, tighter texture, smaller-looking pores, softer lines, fading scarring, build over the following weeks as your collagen remodels, and keep improving for months. It's a slow-build glow rather than an overnight fix, but that's exactly why the results last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does microneedling do to your skin?
Microneedling, also called skin needling, creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering its natural repair process. This stimulates collagen and elastin production and supports gradual skin remodelling, helping smooth uneven texture, refine the look of pores, soften fine lines and improve certain types of acne scarring. Results build progressively rather than overnight.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful, though this varies with treatment depth, area and individual sensitivity. Expect light pressure, vibration or a prickling sensation. A topical numbing option is available if you'd prefer a more comfortable experience.
How much downtime should I expect?
Downtime is generally short. Redness, warmth, tightness or mild swelling are common straight after and usually settle over the following few days, with some dryness or flaking as the skin recovers. How much you experience depends on treatment depth and your skin, so it's best not to book right before an important event.
When will I start to see results?
You may notice smoother, fresher-looking skin as the initial redness settles, but real collagen remodelling takes longer. More meaningful improvements build gradually over the following weeks and months. For acne scarring specifically, studies have tracked continued improvement for several months after finishing a course.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results aren't permanent, your skin keeps ageing and changing, but the collagen remodelling from treatment develops gradually and improvements can stay visible for months. How long depends on your skin concern, age, lifestyle and treatment plan. Some clients choose occasional maintenance sessions to help sustain results.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
It depends on your skin concern and goal. Some people see improvement after one session, but concerns like acne scarring or noticeable texture irregularities usually need a course of treatments rather than a single visit. We assess your skin and recommend a plan built around you.
Can microneedling help with acne scars?
Yes, microneedling has clinical evidence supporting its use for improving atrophic acne scars by stimulating collagen remodelling, with studies and reviews showing improvement following a course of treatments. Not every scar type responds equally well, so scar depth and type are assessed first, and deeper or more complex scarring may need a combination of treatments.
Is microneedling actually worth it?
For the right concern, it can be genuinely worthwhile, particularly for texture and certain types of acne scarring, with clinical studies showing improvement after a course of treatments. It's not the best fit for every concern though, and results vary between individuals, so treatment is recommended based on your skin rather than because it's popular.
What happens when you stop microneedling?
Your skin won't suddenly get worse or become dependent on treatment, and the collagen and remodelling already achieved doesn't disappear. Your skin does keep ageing normally though, so concerns like pigmentation, fine lines or acne can continue to develop over time. Some clients choose occasional maintenance treatments, but this isn't compulsory.
Who should not have microneedling?
It may not be suitable if you have an active skin infection, open wounds, active inflammatory acne in the treatment area, certain skin conditions or a history of abnormal scarring, and some medications or medical conditions can affect suitability too. Please let us know if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical or skin condition so we can confirm treatment is right for you.
