Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate your skin, reduce fine lines, and improve its texture and firmness. This treatment uses a specialised device that creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin by stimulating and boosting collogen formation in the skin.
At Cathedral Dermatology, we take your microneedling experience a step further. Unlike other practices, we follow every microneedling treatment with mesotherapy – a process where our expert practitioner applies a customised skin booster serum immediately after your treatment. Our serums are packed with essential ingredients like vitamins, amino acids, peptides, coenzymes and mineral salts that penetrate deep into the dermis, further enhancing your results. We will tailor your treatment and mesotherapy to your individual needs which we will discuss beforehand during your consultation. This dual-action approach maximises the benefits of microneedling, ensuring your skin gets the nourishment it needs to look its best.

Common Questions
Is Microneedling Painful?
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated by most patients. A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to the treatment to minimise discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight prickling feeling.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin goals and the condition being treated. Typically, we recommend a series of at least 3 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. However, we will customise your treatment plan based on your skin’s needs.
Is there any skin preparation I must carry out before my treatments?
At the clinic we will provide you will numbing cream on the day or instruct you what and when to apply this if you prefer to put your own on before arriving at the clinic. Your practitioner will cleanse your skin before your treatment, however, if you can try to come with makeup already removed.
What is the Downtime After Microneedling?
After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel similar to a mild sunburn for 24-48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, with no significant downtime.
Can Microneedling Treat Acne Scars?
Yes! Microneedling is highly effective for improving the appearance of superficial acne scars. By stimulating collagen production, it helps break down scar tissue and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin.
Is Microneedling Safe?
Yes, microneedling is a safe procedure when performed by a trained professional. It is minimally invasive, and any risks or side effects are rare and temporary. Our practitioners follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure your safety.
What Should I Do After My Microneedling Treatment?
After the procedure, it’s important to protect your skin by using gentle skincare products and sunscreen. Avoid sun exposure for a few days and refrain from using harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids for a week. If you have been prescribed anti-viral tablets or a lightening cream, these are usually continued after the treatment as per your prescription. We encourage clients to postpone muscle-relaxing toxin injections for 2 weeks then any filler or laser for 4 weeks after microneedling. Your practitioner will discuss and provide you with aftercare information to take home after your treatment. If you are concerned that you have suffered a reaction or experience any problems after your treatment, please let us know at the clinic earlier rather than later so that we can help.
Will I See Immediate Results?
While some improvements can be seen right away, the full results of microneedling become apparent in about 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases. Results are definitely much more visible after a series of treatments rather than a one off session. With mesotherapy’s nourishing serum, your results will be even more enhanced and long-lasting.
Can Microneedling Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes! Microneedling can be safely combined with other treatments like chemical peels, laser treatments, or Botox but perhaps some treatment planning and scheduling may be required to space out certain treatments. Our experts will tailor a treatment plan that suits your unique needs.
