Skin & Facial Treatments · George
Professional treatment planning begins with an individual skin assessment, a discussion of suitability and clear expectations.
Professional Microneedling
Microneedling uses a professional device with fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. Treatment depth, area and protocol should be selected by a suitably trained practitioner following assessment.
It may be considered when improving the appearance of concerns such as selected textural irregularities, facial acne scarring or visible signs of skin ageing. Suitability, expected response, risks and realistic limitations differ between individuals.
Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to stimulate collagen and support the skin’s natural renewal process. It can help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, pigmentation and acne scarring.
Each treatment is tailored to your skin condition and goals, with a carefully selected approach to encourage smoother, firmer and more refined-looking skin over time.

Treatment Goals
Microneedling may be considered for selected aesthetic concerns following assessment. The proposed treatment area, device, depth and course should reflect your skin, health history and realistic goals.
Professional microneedling may be considered for certain facial acne scars. Scar type, depth, skin characteristics and active acne influence whether treatment is appropriate and what improvement may reasonably be expected.
Treatment may support a smoother-looking skin surface over time. Not every textural concern has the same cause, so assessment should come before recommending microneedling.
Microneedling may be selected to improve the appearance of fine lines and facial or neck wrinkles. Results vary, develop gradually and cannot be guaranteed.
The official treatment menu includes full-face, face-and-neck, and face, neck and V-chest options. An appropriate area is confirmed after reviewing skin condition, suitability and recovery considerations.
Consultation & Recovery
Microneedling intentionally creates controlled skin injury. Careful screening, hygienic technique, an appropriate device and clear aftercare are essential parts of responsible treatment.
Your concern, skin condition, relevant health history, medication, previous procedures, healing response and tendency to pigmentation or scarring are reviewed before suitability is confirmed.
The treatment area, needle depth, device protocol and any topical products are selected for the planned indication. A new needle cartridge should be used for every patient and treatment session.
Temporary redness, dryness, tightness, sensitivity, itching, peeling, discomfort, pinpoint bleeding or bruising can occur. You receive specific skin-care and sun-protection guidance, plus instructions on when to contact the clinic.
Possible risks include infection, a cold-sore flare, changes in pigmentation, persistent irritation, lines or track marks, scarring and an unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome. Risks vary with the device, treatment parameters, skin and aftercare.
Active infection, inflamed skin disease, open or poorly healed skin, active acne in the proposed area, a recent procedure, impaired healing, immune-system concerns, bleeding conditions or blood-thinning medication may affect suitability. Pregnancy, medication and any history of problematic scarring should also be discussed before treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers provide general guidance for standard professional microneedling. Your consultation and treatment-specific instructions take priority.
Sensation varies with the area, device settings and individual sensitivity. A topical numbing product may be used where appropriate. Tell your practitioner about allergies or sensitivities to numbing medication and speak up if treatment feels unexpectedly uncomfortable.
Visible redness and sensitivity are common after treatment, while dryness, tightness, peeling, itching, bruising or swelling may also occur. Intensity and duration vary, so allow for recovery and follow your individual aftercare instructions.
There is no universal course. A recommendation depends on the concern, treatment area, skin response, recovery and whether further treatment remains suitable. More than one session may be proposed, but results cannot be guaranteed.
No treatment should promise complete scar removal. Microneedling may improve the appearance of certain facial acne scars, but the likely degree of change depends on scar type, depth, skin characteristics and individual response.
Use only the products and sun-protection approach recommended for your treatment. Recently treated skin may sting or react to cosmetics and active skin-care ingredients that were previously comfortable. Do not introduce additional products without guidance.
No. This page describes standard professional microneedling and does not imply the use of radiofrequency energy. Device type and treatment protocol are confirmed during consultation before you consent to treatment.
