Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, firmness, hydration and overall skin quality. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses a professional microneedling pen with fine sterile needles to create controlled microscopic channels in the skin.
Microneedling London – Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen Induction
These tiny channels stimulate the skin's natural repair processes and can encourage the production of collagen and elastin, helping the skin become smoother, firmer and more refined over time.
At YourHealthFirst Clinic on Wimpole Street, London, microneedling can be tailored to your individual skin concerns, treatment area and desired outcome.
What can Microneedling help with? Microneedling may be suitable for a range of common skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Loss of skin firmness
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Acne scarring
- Atrophic acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun-damaged and photoaged skin
- Stretch marks
- Overall skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation
Research supports microneedling as one of the treatment options used for acne scarring, although results can vary depending on the type and severity of scarring and the individual treatment plan.
How does Microneedling work?
Microneedling uses a professional microneedling pen fitted with a sterile needle cartridge. The device creates controlled microscopic punctures in the skin at a depth selected according to the treatment area and your individual needs.
This controlled stimulation activates the skin's natural wound-healing response, supporting the production and remodelling of collagen and elastin.
As the skin heals, gradual improvements in texture, firmness, smoothness and overall skin quality may develop.
Microneedling with a Professional Microneedling Pen
At YourHealthFirst Clinic, microneedling is performed using a professional microneedling pen to allow controlled and consistent treatment across the selected area.
The treatment depth can be adjusted according to the area being treated and the patient's individual skin characteristics. This allows the procedure to be tailored rather than using the same settings for every patient.
Microneedling vs Mesotherapy
Although these treatments can sometimes be combined, they are different procedures.
This distinction is useful for patients who are searching for microneedling, mesotherapy or combination skin rejuvenation treatments in London.
Microneedling for Acne Scars
Microneedling is commonly used as a treatment option for post-acne scarring, particularly atrophic acne scars.
By stimulating controlled skin remodelling, microneedling may help improve the appearance and texture of certain acne scars over a course of treatments. The most appropriate approach depends on the type, depth and distribution of the scars.
Recent research continues to support microneedling as a useful option for acne-scar treatment, while also emphasising that treatment should be individualised.
Microneedling for Fine Lines & Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling can be used as part of a facial skin rejuvenation programme for patients concerned about early signs of ageing, fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness.
Rather than changing facial volume or expression, the aim is to improve the quality and appearance of the skin itself through controlled stimulation and gradual collagen remodelling.
Can Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Depending on your individual treatment plan, microneedling may be combined with other aesthetic and regenerative treatments.
At YourHealthFirst Clinic, treatment combinations may include PRP, mesotherapy and selected topical formulations, where clinically appropriate.
Combination treatments should be selected following assessment rather than automatically applied to every patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about microneedling at YourHealthFirst Clinic.
If you are prone to scarring, are pregnant, or suffer from rosacea or eczema, consult your dermatologist to see if micro-needling is safe for you.
Patients undergo microneedling treatment after receiving a topical numbing medication, which prevents any pain associated with the procedure. There is also no downtime, so you can resume work right after the treatment.
Microneedling devices contain tiny needles that make pin-pricks in the top layer of skin. When these microneedles puncture the skin, the controlled trauma helps promote new collagen production. Replenishing collagen in the areas affected by acne scars reduces the pre-treatment damage from acne, promoting skin texture rejuvenation. Most patients require a short series of microneedling treatment sessions to achieve optimal rejuvenation results, each spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Treatment can also be enhanced by combining it with rejuvenating or restorative topical serums — the absorbency of such serums is enhanced through the newly created micro-channels in the skin. Vitamin C serum and other de-pigmentation solutions are great additions for reducing facial hyperpigmentation, as well as platelet-rich plasma treatment (PRP) for general skin rejuvenation.
This depends on the severity of your scars and your desired results. For mild to moderate scars, you may only need 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For more severe scars, you may need up to 12 sessions. It can take up to 6 months to see full results from microneedling.
Microneedling for acne scars should be done in a series of treatments. Typically, a 30-minute session every four weeks is effective for treating acne scars. The frequency of sessions will depend on the severity of scarring and other factors — some patients are encouraged to wait up to six weeks between treatments to fully allow the new collagen to form. Minimal downtime is required between sessions, and most patients feel fully recovered in as little as 24 hours.
