Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural repair process by creating controlled micro-injuries using fine needles. This triggers collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall quality.
Rather than masking concerns, microneedling works by strengthening the skin from within—making it a reliable option for long-term skin improvement.
It can also enhance the absorption of active skincare ingredients, increasing their effectiveness.

Microneedling is a versatile treatment for patients looking to improve overall skin quality without adding volume or altering facial structure.
A course of 3–6 sessions is typically recommended for best results, depending on the concern being treated.
Step 1: Consultation
Dr. Kravvas will assess your skin condition, concerns, and treatment goals. A personalised plan will be created based on the severity of the issue and desired outcome.
Step 2: Treatment
A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. A medical-grade microneedling device is then used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes.
Step 3: Aftercare & Results
Skin may appear red and slightly sensitive immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually settles within 24–48 hours.

Redness and sensitivity usually last 24–48 hours. Some patients may experience mild dryness or flaking for a few days. Most people return to normal activities within a day.
Yes. Microneedling is widely used to improve acne scarring by stimulating collagen and helping to remodel the skin over time. Results build gradually with repeated sessions.
