Is it right for you?
- Acne scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Rough or uneven texture
- Marks left after breakouts
Active breakouts need to be settled before microneedling. If yours aren't yet, we can start with a course of peels, and we'll recommend seeing your GP if your acne is severe.
What's included
- In-person consultation and photosWe assess your scarring and skin, check your breakouts are settled, take photos to track progress and help you choose a tier.
- Your microneedling courseStandard: four sessions of microneedling. With PRP: three sessions of microneedling combined with PRP, delivered with Dr Aamani. Sessions are four to six weeks apart.
- Circadia Nighttime RepairA vitamin A night cream (included) to support smoother texture between sessions.
- Before-and-after reviewPhotos in the same lighting to compare, and advice on maintaining results.
Good to know
Every plan is tailored at your consultation, so timings may be adjusted to suit your skin.
When you'll see change
Collagen builds gradually, so improvement continues for months after your last session.
Why add PRP?
PRP, prepared from a small sample of your own blood, is applied during microneedling. Studies suggest it can improve results for acne scarring compared with microneedling alone.
Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need three to four sessions, and deeper scarring may need more. We'll give you an honest estimate after assessing your skin.
Which tier should I choose?
Both work. PRP gives a stronger collagen response, so it suits deeper or more established scarring, or anyone who wants the best result from fewer sessions. We'll talk it through at your consultation.
Is microneedling suitable for darker skin?
Yes. Microneedling is one of the safer options for darker skin tones because it doesn't use heat.
What if I still get breakouts?
Microneedling isn't done over active breakouts. We'll suggest peels to settle your skin first, and recommend seeing your GP if your acne is severe or painful.
Can I pause Nighttime Repair around treatments?
Yes, and you should. We'll ask you to stop it for a few days before and after each session.
