AESTHETIC SKIN TREATMENTS
Revitalise Your Skin with Microneedling
Looking for 'microneedling near me'? You're in the right place! At Pure Clinic, we specialize in microneedling, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates your skin by stimulating collagen production.
Whether you’re concerned about acne scars, dark spots, wrinkles, or large pores, microneedling can significantly enhance your skin's appearance and texture.
Microneedling uses fine, sterilized needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more toned skin.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Session
When you visit Pure Clinic for microneedling, here’s what you can expect: First, our healthcare provider will thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. This allows you to relax while we prepare your skin for treatment.
Using a state-of-the-art hand-held roller or an electric tool equipped with tiny needles, we gently and meticulously treat the targeted areas of your skin.
The needles can vary in length, allowing us to customize the depth of the treatment based on your specific needs, such as deeper penetration for severe acne scars or fine lines.
During the procedure, you might feel a mild warmth or scratching sensation, which is entirely normal. While some areas, especially bony regions like the cheekbones, might experience slight discomfort, our team takes every precaution to minimise any pain.

The length of a microneedling session can range from 15 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Post-treatment, you may notice some redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. As your skin begins to heal, you'll notice a visible improvement in texture and firmness.
At Pure Clinic, we recommend a series of treatments, usually spaced a few weeks apart, for best results. This allows your skin to heal fully between sessions and builds upon the collagen-inducing effects of each treatment.

Microneedling treatment questions, answered
-
Microneedling works by creating tiny punctures in the skin, which act as micro-channels that trigger the body’s natural healing process. This promotes the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help in skin renewal and repair.
The result is enhanced blood circulation and rejuvenation of skin cells, making your skin appear thicker, plumper, and more youthful without damaging the epidermis.
-
The procedure begins with thoroughly cleansing your skin, followed by applying a topical anaesthetic cream to ensure comfort. After about 20 minutes, the cream is removed, and the microneedling starts, lasting between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Using a precision-engineered roller, thousands of micro-medical needle columns are created. These columns close quickly, allowing the skin to recover rapidly, often within the same day.
-
Post-treatment, your skin may appear as if you have moderate sunburn, feeling warm and slightly tight, but these symptoms typically subside within the same day. It is essential to use only tepid water to cleanse the face for the next 48 hours and avoid makeup for at least 12 hours.
Applying a high-factor SPF is crucial to protect the treated skin. Avoid touching the treated area or performing high-impact exercise for the first 12 hours after treatment.
-
Results can vary based on your skin’s natural cell renewal process, which slows as we age. Generally, visible improvements may take up to 8 weeks, with continued skin regeneration over the following months providing gradual and ongoing enhancement.
-
After microneedling, it's vital to follow these steps to ensure optimal healing:
Only use tepid water to cleanse the face for 48 hours post-treatment and pat dry gently.
Avoid makeup for at least 12 hours.
Always use a high-factor SPF to protect the skin.
Avoid touching the treated area directly after the procedure.
Refrain from high-impact exercise for 12 hours following your session.
-
Microneedling is generally safe with minimal side effects. Commonly, patients experience redness similar to moderate sunburn and may feel warmth or tightness in the treated area, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours.
Minor bleeding, bruising, dryness, or flaking can occur, with rare instances of scab formation. Those with a history of cold sores may experience flare-ups.
-
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types but is not recommended for individuals who:
Have used Roaccutane within the last 6 months.
Have open wounds, cuts, or abrasions on the skin.
Have undergone radiation treatment within the last year.
Have active acne, herpes simplex, or any other infection or chronic skin condition in the area to be treated.
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
Have a history of keloid scarring or poor wound healing.
