The Perfect Solution for Smoother, Brighter, and Youthful-Looking Skin.
Microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment for rejuvenating and refreshing your skin. This effective procedure addresses dullness, uneven texture, sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores. Non-invasive and quick, microdermabrasion leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and revitalised!
The benefits of microdermabrasion have been enhanced by its ability to gently exfoliate the skin using a handheld device. With minimal discomfort and no downtime, this treatment provides noticeable results, helping you achieve a smoother, more rejuvenated complexion.
How it Works
Unlock the secret to youthful, glowing skin with microneedling - a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment for all skin types.
Microneedling uses a specialised device with ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin - the building blocks of smooth, firm skin. Think of it as jump-starting your skin’s own repair system, giving you a rejuvenated complexion that looks and feels revitalised.
The treatment is suitable for a range of skin types and concerns, from reducing the appearance of wrinkles to minimising pore size and improving skin texture. It’s non-surgical, there’s minimal downtime, meaning you can get back to your daily routine in no time.
Microneedling also enhances the absorption of skincare products, allowing serums and creams to penetrate deeper into the skin, boosting their efficacy.
Smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin continues to improve with each session.
Safe, effective, and suitable for a wide range of skin concerns.
What to Expect
At Dr. D Cosmetics, microneedling is a powerful, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to boost collagen production and improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
- Before Treatment
Our experienced therapist will start by assessing your skin’s needs to tailor the treatment specifically for you. The skin is prepared and ready to absorb all the benefits of microneedling.
- During the Treatment
The microneedling process involves a precision tool with ultra-fine needles gently gliding over the skin, creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries. These micro-channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin - the key proteins responsible for youthful, plump skin. The treatment is quick and efficient, targeting areas like fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
- After Treatment
Post-treatment, you may notice some mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically fades within 24-48 hours. This is a sign that your skin is healing and rejuvenating itself from within.
Over the coming days, your skin will begin to feel smoother and more radiant as the collagen-building process continues.
For optimal results, we recommend a course of three treatments, spaced 2-6 weeks apart, allowing your skin to build collagen and elastin over time for long-lasting, noticeable improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing process and boosts collagen and elastin production, helping to improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling can improve a range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scars
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Is microneedling safe?
Yes, microneedling is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are some risks, including redness, swelling, minor bleeding, or infection if proper aftercare isn’t followed.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of microneedling treatments you need depends on your skin concerns and goals. Typically, 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Some people may require additional sessions for more severe issues such as deep acne scars or stretch marks.
Does microneedling hurt?
Microneedling can cause some discomfort, but most clinics apply a topical anaesthetic before the procedure to minimise pain. The sensation is often described as mild prickling or tingling.
What should I expect during the procedure?
During the procedure, a microneedling device with fine needles is passed over the skin. The treatment usually lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How long is the recovery time?
Most people experience redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within 1-3 days. In some cases, peeling or minor flaking may occur as the skin heals. Makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours.
Suitability
Who should avoid microneedling?
Microneedling is not recommended for individuals who:
- Have active acne or infections
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have keloid scarring tendencies
- Have recently had radiation therapy
- Are on certain medications, such as Accutane
Always consult to determine if microneedling is right for your skin type and concerns.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments like chemical peels, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, or laser treatments to enhance results. However, always consult to see which combination is best for your skin goals.
Is microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, because it doesn’t involve heat, which reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Medical Conditions
Are there any side effects or risks?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and minor irritation, which usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, infection, bruising, or prolonged healing may occur. It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions provided.
Post Care
When will I see results from microneedling?
Results vary depending on individual skin type and the specific condition being treated. Initial improvements in skin texture and tone can often be seen within a week. However, the most significant results typically appear 4-6 weeks post-treatment as collagen production increases.
How should I care for my skin after microneedling?
After microneedling, it’s crucial to:
- Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily.
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Keep your skin clean and moisturised.
- Avoid using active skincare ingredients like retinoids, AHA/BHA, or vitamin C for at least a few days.
- Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided.
