Microneedling Therapy
Stimulate collagen, improve skin quality, and restore a smoother, more refined complexion.
Microneedling is a clinically proven treatment that works by creating controlled micro-injuries within the skin, triggering a natural wound-healing response. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the key structural proteins responsible for skin strength, elasticity, and overall quality.
As collagen production declines by approximately 1% per year from our mid-20s, treatments that actively stimulate regeneration become essential in maintaining healthy, resilient skin.
At The Look by Louise, microneedling is performed using advanced protocols tailored to your individual skin, allowing us to target concerns such as uneven texture, scarring, enlarged pores, and early signs of ageing with precision and consistency.
What can be treated?
-
Microneedling helps to break down fibrotic scar tissue while stimulating new collagen formation within the dermis. This process gradually improves skin texture, reduces the depth of atrophic scars, and softens post-inflammatory pigmentation.
-
By activating fibroblast activity, microneedling increases the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin density, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and restore a firmer, more supported structure.
-
Collagen stimulation around the pore walls helps to strengthen the surrounding tissue, leading to a visible reduction in pore size and a more refined skin surface.
-
The controlled micro-injury triggers accelerated cellular turnover, helping to smooth irregularities within the skin and create a more even, uniform texture.
-
Microneedling enhances microcirculation and nutrient delivery within the skin, supporting improved cell function and restoring a healthier, more radiant appearance.
-
As collagen levels decline with age, microneedling works to rebuild and reinforce the dermal structure, improving skin resilience, elasticity, and overall quality over time.
While traditional microneedling is highly effective as a standalone treatment, we specialise in advanced regenerative therapies that can elevate your results, providing a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling Menu
Microneedling with chemical peel
Designed to enhance the overall performance of microneedling.
The treatment begins with targeted skin resurfacing, selected based on your individual skin concern, whether that be acne-prone skin, pigmentation, acne scarring, texture, or visible signs of ageing.
This initial step helps to loosen build-up within the skin, improve cell turnover, and create a clearer, more receptive treatment environment before microneedling is performed.
Microneedling is then able to work more effectively within the skin, stimulating collagen production and supporting deeper skin regeneration.
By preparing the skin first, we are able to achieve a more comprehensive level of correction and improve overall treatment outcomes compared to microneedling alone.
microneedling with PRP
An advanced regenerative treatment combining microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), derived from your own blood.
PRP contains a concentrated source of growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. When applied during microneedling, it enhances the skin’s natural healing response, accelerating collagen production and improving overall treatment outcomes.
This option is particularly effective for acne scarring, skin texture, and early signs of ageing, supporting faster recovery and more noticeable, long-term improvement in skin quality.
Microneedling with Polynucleotides
A highly regenerative treatment designed to repair and restore the skin at a deeper, cellular level.
Polynucleotides work by stimulating fibroblast activity, improving hydration, and strengthening the skin barrier. This leads to improved elasticity, smoother texture, and healthier, more resilient skin over time.
This treatment is especially suited to ageing, sensitised, or environmentally damaged skin, where deeper repair and restoration are required.
microneedling with exosomes
One of the most advanced treatments in regenerative aesthetics, designed to optimise skin repair and accelerate visible results.
Exosomes act as cellular messengers, delivering growth factors, peptides, and signalling molecules that enhance communication between skin cells. This process supports faster regeneration, reduces inflammation, and significantly improves overall skin quality.
Ideal for clients seeking more intensive rejuvenation, this treatment delivers enhanced results in texture, tone, and skin clarity, with a focus on long-term skin optimisation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A course of 3–6 treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimal results, depending on your skin concerns. Conditions such as acne scarring or more advanced skin ageing may require a longer treatment plan.
-
Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance can be seen within a few weeks. However, as microneedling works by stimulating collagen production, results continue to develop over time, with the most noticeable improvements appearing after a full course of treatments.
-
Downtime is minimal. Most clients experience mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours following treatment, similar to a light sunburn. Skin typically settles quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities soon after.
-
Standard microneedling focuses on stimulating collagen and improving overall skin quality. Advanced options such as PRP, polynucleotides, and exosomes enhance this process by introducing regenerative ingredients that support deeper repair, accelerate healing, and deliver more intensive results.
-
Yes. Microneedling is often combined with other advanced skin treatments to further enhance results.
One of our most popular combinations is our signature HydraNeedle treatment, where microneedling is paired with Hydrafacial to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin prior to treatment. This allows for improved product absorption and supports a smoother, more radiant finish.
-
Microneedling is suitable for most individuals and can be introduced from your mid to late 20s, when collagen production begins to decline.
It is a highly effective treatment for maintaining skin quality and preventing early signs of ageing, making it a valuable part of a long-term skin health routine.
Your practitioner will assess your skin during consultation to determine whether microneedling is the most appropriate option for your concerns.
