What Does Microneedling Do and Why Is It So Effective?
At HAVA Aesthetics in Esher, Surrey, we offer professional microneedling treatments exclusively using the SkinPen® Precision device, performed by Dr Hadeel Nimaa. This advanced cosmetic procedure is designed to target multiple skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and Dark Spots. By stimulating natural collagen production and elastin fibres, microneedling supports skin rejuvenation, skin repair, and long-term skin health.
Understanding Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with sterilized needles to create thousands of precise micro-injuries in the skin’s dermis. These micro-wounds trigger the body’s skin wound healing process, boosting blood supply to the treated area and stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, healthier skin.
Unlike traditional dermarollers, our SkinPen® Precision device allows for controlled depth and accurate placement of micro medical needle columns, creating uniform micro-openings without tearing the skin tissue. This ensures better safety, less skin irritation, and more predictable results for patients.
What Microneedling Can Do for Your Skin
1. Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By boosting collagen and elastin fibres, microneedling helps soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful look without surgery.
2. Improve Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling supports healthy skin remodeling, refining skin texture and improving uneven skin tone caused by hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or skin discoloration.
3. Reduce Acne Scars and Other Scarring
This treatment option is clinically proven for scar reduction, breaking down old scar tissue and encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin. It is effective for acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
4. Minimise Enlarged Pores
By stimulating collagen around the pores, microneedling helps them appear smaller and less visible, creating a smoother surface.
5. Address Multiple Skin Conditions
From active acne to hair loss (when combined with platelet-rich plasma) and pigmentation concerns, microneedling offers solutions for a wide range of skin conditions.
How It Works: Step-by-Step
- Consultation – Your microneedling journey starts with a detailed skin care and dermatology-led assessment to identify your concerns and determine the ideal treatment plan.
- Preparation – A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
- Treatment – Using SkinPen® Precision, Dr Hadeel Nimaa creates thousands of micro-injuries at a controlled depth, stimulating collagen production and skin tissue engineering while protecting surrounding skin.
- Topical Treatments – After your session, targeted serums, hyaluronic acid, or growth factors may be applied to penetrate deep into the microchannels for enhanced skin repair.
Why SkinPen® Precision Is the Preferred Method
While some may use dermarollers, dermal rollers, or derma pens such as Dermapen, SkinPen® Precision offers a higher level of safety and precision. The device creates clean, vertical punctures rather than angled tears, reducing downtime and minimising the risk of infection. This makes it the gold standard for professional microneedling in both facial rejuvenation and body treatments.
Combining Microneedling with Other Treatments
Microneedling pairs well with chemical peels, laser resurfacing, laser treatments, and radiofrequency therapies for enhanced results. When combined with collagen supplements or advanced topical treatments, it can further improve skin elasticity, hydration, and overall appearance.
Safety, Side Effects, and Recovery
When performed by a trained dermatologist or aesthetician, microneedling is a safe treatment option. Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight sensitivity for one to two days after the procedure. Following strict aftercare protocols reduces the risk of skin infections and supports visible, lasting results.
Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, although collagen remodelling and improvements in skin appearance continue for months after each treatment.
