Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Using a device with very fine needles, controlled micro-injuries are created in the skin to stimulate its natural healing response.
This process can encourage the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores and acne scarring over time.
At Modbury Dental Practice, microneedling is available as an individual treatment or as part of a course, depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals.
Microneedling, sometimes known as collagen induction therapy, uses very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.
These tiny channels trigger the skin’s natural repair response. As the skin heals, this can encourage collagen and elastin production, helping to improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin.
Microneedling can be used on different areas of the face and body, depending on your individual concerns and suitability for treatment.
Microneedling can be used to target a range of common skin concerns, including:
Your practitioner will assess your skin during your consultation and discuss whether microneedling is suitable for your particular concerns.
Microneedling works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes rather than simply exfoliating the surface.
Results develop gradually as your skin responds to treatment, so a course may be recommended for more noticeable improvements.
Before your treatment, your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your concerns and desired results.
The skin is cleansed and prepared before the microneedling device is carefully moved across the treatment area.
The device creates controlled micro-channels within the skin. Your practitioner will adjust the treatment according to the area being treated and your individual skin.
You may experience a mild prickling or warming sensation during treatment.
A typical appointment takes approximately 30 minutes.
Following treatment, your skin may appear red and feel warm or sensitive, similar to mild sunburn. This generally settles as the skin recovers.
The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your skin, the concern being treated and your desired outcome.
For some concerns, a course of three treatments may be recommended to achieve more noticeable improvements.
Single treatment — £130
Course of 3 — £350
Your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend an appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.
Microneedling is often used to improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring.
By stimulating the skin’s natural repair response and supporting collagen production, treatment can help create a smoother-looking skin surface over time.
The type and severity of scarring will affect the results you can expect, so your practitioner will assess your skin before recommending treatment.
A course of treatments may be recommended for more established scarring.
Your practitioner will provide you with personalised aftercare following your treatment.
As your skin can be sensitive immediately afterwards, you may be advised to:
Your practitioner will let you know when you can return to your normal skincare routine.
Microneedling can form part of a wider skin treatment plan.
At Modbury Dental Practice, we also offer treatments including Dermaplaning and BioRePeel.
Depending on your skin and treatment goals, your practitioner may recommend individual treatments or a combination of treatments at appropriately spaced intervals.
We also offer skin treatment packages for patients looking to combine complementary treatments.

Microneedling can help improve the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen production and improving skin texture.
Microneedling encourages gradual changes within the skin, so results aren’t usually immediate.
You may notice your skin looking fresher and more radiant as it recovers, while improvements in texture and other concerns develop progressively over time.
For concerns such as acne scarring and fine lines, several treatments may be recommended. Your practitioner will discuss the expected results and timescale with you based on your individual treatment plan.
Your skin may appear red and feel warm or sensitive immediately following treatment. This usually settles as your skin recovers. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and provide personalised aftercare.
Microneedling may be suitable for a range of skin types, but individual suitability needs to be assessed before treatment.
