Microneedling
Fine needles that make the skin rebuild itself. Texture, pores, acne scars and fine lines, over a course of three.
84% of acne-scar courses rated improved at three months on blinded photographs
№ 01What it is
What it is, and how it goes.
Thousands of controlled micro-channels, and the skin responds by making collagen for months afterwards. It is the treatment for texture: the roughness, the scars and the pores that filler and toxin cannot touch.
How it works
- Skin assessment and a consent conversation about the 48 hours of redness
- Numbing cream for 30 minutes
- The pen passes over the face; some areas at greater depth
- Growth-factor serum and a barrier cream; you leave pink
- Three sessions, four to six weeks apart; collagen keeps building for three months after the last
We do not add radiofrequency unless the skin needs it, and we tell you why either way.
Every treatment here follows a consultation and a cooling-off period of at least 48 hours. The consultation fee is credited to any treatment within three months.

Often the answer to
The review policy
Every injectable treatment includes a review at two weeks with photographs compared to your consultation images. Anti-wrinkle injections are topped up at the review if the result is short or uneven, at no charge. Hyaluronic acid filler is adjusted or dissolved at no charge if we agree the result is not right. Courses are reviewed at three months with imaging. If the doctor advises at consultation that a treatment is not right for you, any deposit is refunded in full.
01Why can't I be treated at the consultation?
Because deciding and doing should not happen in the same hour. Every treatment here follows a face-to-face consultation with a prescriber and a cooling-off period of at least 48 hours; England's planned licensing scheme proposes the same minimum. Most people book the treatment for the following week before they leave.
02How do deposits work?
A £50 deposit secures a treatment appointment and comes off the price on the day. It is refunded in full if you cancel with 48 hours' notice, or at any time if the doctor decides at consultation that the treatment is not right for you. Consultations are paid on the day and credited to any treatment within three months.
03Do you treat under-18s?
No. Injectable cosmetic treatment under 18 has been illegal in England since 2021, and we apply the same rule to every cosmetic treatment. We ask for photographic ID if there is any doubt. Skin health checks and acne advice for teenagers are available with a doctor, with a parent present.
04I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. What can I have?
A facial, LED and a routine designed around pregnancy. We do not do injectables, peels, laser, IPL or fat freezing during pregnancy or breastfeeding: not because of proven harm, but because there is no evidence of safety and we will not be the ones to test it. Book a skin health consultation and we will plan the rest for later.
05Will people be able to tell?
Our aim is that people tell you that you look well and cannot say why. We treat by the smallest area and the fewest millilitres that will do the job, and add at the two-week review if you want more. About a third of the people we see are advised to do less than they asked for.
06What if I don't like the result?
Tell us at the review, or before. Anti-wrinkle results are adjusted with a top-up at two weeks and wear off within months. Hyaluronic acid filler can be adjusted or dissolved, and under our review policy we do that without charge if we agree it is not right. Last year we dissolved seven.
07Who is regulated by whom?
Our doctors are registered with the General Medical Council and our nurses with the Nursing and Midwifery Council; both prescribe. The clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission for the treatments that require it. Our laser therapists are on the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners register and hold NVQ Level 4 in laser and light. Registration numbers on this example site are demonstration numbers.
08Do you sell gift vouchers, and can they be used for injectables?
Vouchers are for any amount and are valid for twelve months on facials, LED, skincare, programmes and skin plans. They cannot be used for injectables: a gift should never be the reason someone has a needle in their face. If the recipient chooses an injectable after a consultation, the voucher value can be used toward the consultation and skincare instead.
