Microneedling Surrey

What Is SkinPen® Precision?

At HAVA Aesthetics, we exclusively use SkinPen® Precision, a clinically tested, medical-grade microneedling device trusted worldwide for its safety and precision. This advanced technology is designed to deliver controlled, consistent collagen stimulation for reliable, regenerative results.

SkinPen® ensures precise depth control and uniform micro-channel creation, allowing treatment to be tailored to specific skin concerns and areas of the face. It offers enhanced safety across a wide range of skin types and reduces the risks often associated with unregulated or at-home devices.

Microneedling vs RF Microneedling

Standard microneedling works by creating controlled mechanical micro-injuries within the skin, triggering natural growth factor release and stimulating collagen production. This process improves overall skin texture and quality through regenerative healing.

RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering controlled heat into deeper layers of the skin to promote additional tightening and firmer structural support. This makes it particularly beneficial for patients experiencing more advanced skin laxity.

Traditional microneedling is ideal for concerns such as acne scars, stretch marks, pigmentation, early skin laxity, and surface-level skin damage. RF microneedling may be more suitable for those requiring deeper tissue tightening and enhanced lifting effects.

During your consultation at our Surrey clinic, we carefully assess your skin condition and goals to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

Recovery Time & Healing Timeline

Recovery following microneedling is minimal, making it a convenient treatment for those with busy lifestyles. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities shortly after their appointment.

Within the first 24–48 hours, you may experience redness and warmth in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal inflammatory response and typically settles quickly.

By days 3–5, many patients begin to notice visible improvements in skin brightness and texture as the initial healing phase progresses. Over the following 4–6 weeks, collagen production continues to increase beneath the surface of the skin.

Results continue to improve gradually over several weeks as collagen remodels and tissue strength and density enhance, leading to smoother, firmer, and more refined skin quality.

Combining Microneedling with Other Treatments

Microneedling can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance and accelerate overall skin rejuvenation outcomes. By addressing multiple layers of the skin, we can create more comprehensive and longer-lasting improvements.

It is often paired with hyaluronic acid skin boosters to increase hydration, polynucleotides in Surrey to support regenerative repair, and chemical peels to refine surface texture and pigmentation. Wrinkle relaxing injections may be used to soften dynamic lines, while dermal fillers in Surrey can restore structural volume where needed. This multi-layered approach allows us to tailor treatment precisely to your skin concerns and aesthetic goals.

Microneedling Risks and Safety

Microneedling is a well-established treatment when carried out by a trained, regulated medical practitioner using a certified device. At HAVA Aesthetics, every treatment is planned and performed by Dr Hadeel Nimaa (GMC 7149019), and you will have a full medical consultation before we begin.

Risks and possible side effects

Most side effects are mild and settle within a few days. They can include redness, tightness, sensitivity, mild swelling, dryness or flaking, and small pinpoint marks or bruises. Rarely, there can be an infection, a cold sore flare-up, an allergic reaction to topical products, or changes in pigmentation, particularly if the skin is exposed to the sun after treatment.

What to do if something feels wrong

Contact the clinic on 0344 967 0003 if redness or swelling is getting worse rather than better after the first 48 hours, if you develop a temperature, if the skin is weeping, blistering or very painful, or if you notice signs of infection. Do not wait for your next appointment.

Who should not have microneedling

Treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, cold sore or inflamed skin in the area to be treated, uncontrolled acne outbreaks, unstable keloid scarring or certain inflammatory skin conditions, have a bleeding disorder or take medicines that thin the blood, or have recently taken isotretinoin. Dr Nimaa will go through your medical history with you and will tell you honestly if another treatment would suit you better.
