Microneedling

Would you like to reduce wrinkles, improve the firmness and the texture of the skin, giving yourself a rejuvenated, youthful complexion?

A Microneedling treatment is the perfect solution for you.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a powerful skin treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries.

These stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and lead to radiant, rejuvenated and youthful skin.

Imagine reducing scars, wrinkles and fine lines with just a few sessions as a few sessions can stimulate your collagen production by up to 400%.  The skin texture feels smoother and tighter and your skin will be glowing making people feel unstoppable.

What’s even more incredible is that this treatment empowers you to embrace your skin so you’re investing in your confidence!

Medical grade serums containing hyaluronic acid, peptides and amino acids are used to give you the best results and are personliased to your skin goals and concerns.

Who is suitable?

This treatment is suitable for all adults over the age of 18 with any age range. 

A medical assessment and skin assessment will be done prior to treatment with contra-indications being:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Active Infections

  • Taking immunosuppressants

  • Patients with autoimmune diseases

In some cases we still will be able to treat you, however this will be discussed within a consultation. 

We are a clinic who are also happy and confident to say no if we feel that the treatment is not necessary or won’t benefit your facial profile.

We may be able to offer a different treatment in these circumstances.

    After 7 day, you may resume your normal skincare regime. 

  • During the first 24 hours, please avoid: exercise, use of saunas/swimming, consumption of alcohol and wearing make-up.

What the customers say…

  • “I've been having a course of microneedleing with sophie and cannot recommend this treatment enough! My skin has never glowed so much. The treatment itself isn't painful. I have purchased a face mask on each microneedleing session for after the treatment which is cooling and refreshing for your skin. The allumier post treatment kit is such a lovely product to use on your face! Sophie is hands down the best aesthetics practitioner to go to for any of your aesthetics treatments! I've had a few different treatments with Sophie now and I will never go elsewhere. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, but she is so knowledgeable in all services she provides, professional, constantly checking during treatments that im feeling ok and always checks in after ive had my treatments. I always spend most of my time laughing whilst at treatments, and not only walk out with better skin but I also always feel lighter in myself. My 5 year old daughter regularly attends my appointments with me and Sophie is so accommodating with her that she also looks forward to our appointments so she can see Sophie. X"

  • “I had been wanting to do something about my aging face and skin for a while but not acted on it - then I met Sophie! She is knowledgable , cares and more than anything puts you at ease. From the first consultation where she answered all of my questions and worries and put me straight at ease, to two treatments and a new skincare routine later Sophie has been nothing but amazing. She always takes the time to have a chat, ensure you are comfortable and talks through everything as much as you need. The skin care products are fantastic, and my skin is fresh, glowing and I feel like a new woman! People keep asking me, somethings different, have you had your hair done or something, I just smile and say I am just taking care of myself! More than anything Sophie has made me feel like self care is an essential part of my well being, for those of you thinking should I? I would say book a consultation with Sophie - you will not regret it!"

  • “I visited Sophie in the salon for a consultation. I had to take my 4 year old son with me (not ideal!) But Sophie was great with him and made us both feel welcome. Sophie explained her background to me and we then discussed what I wanted to achieve. She was extremely knowledgeable and spoke about many different options that I hadn't even considered. It's clear that Sophie knows her stuff! She's also super friendly and professional, following up our consultation with a detailed treatment proposal plan. I'm yet to have any treatments but wanted to provide a review on how excellent her consultation service and knowledge is. Thanks Sophie! X"
