Medical Microneedling in Birmingham
Stimulate collagen and elastin production from within for smoother, firmer, more radiant skin. Doctor-led microneedling using advanced derma pen technology for precise, comfortable treatment with clinically proven results.
The Science Behind Microneedling
Microneedling is a non-surgical, non-ablative treatment that uses a small hand-held device to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using surgical-grade needles. These micro-channels penetrate into the dermis, each approximately 0.1mm in width, triggering the skin's natural repair mechanisms without causing visible damage.
The process stimulates elastin and collagen production from the inside out, promoting skin regeneration that continues for months after treatment. Clinical studies support microneedling as an effective treatment for aging, scarring, pigmentation, and stretch marks—often proving more effective than dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing in stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Why Choose KHAN Aesthetics for Microneedling
Doctor-led skin needling with medical-grade derma pen technology, personalised depth settings, and a commitment to clinical safety and natural-looking results.
Expert Doctor-Led Care
All microneedling procedures performed by Professor Jawad Khan, a GMC-registered consultant with 15+ years of medical expertise. Precise needle depth control and sterile technique ensure optimal collagen induction and patient safety.
Advanced Derma Pen Technology
We use the latest derma pen devices that deliver treatment extremely quickly using vibration, causing the least discomfort compared to traditional rollers. Different needle lengths and treatment depths are selected based on your specific skin concerns and treatment area.
Minimal Downtime
Micro-channels close rapidly, enabling the skin to recover quickly—often the same day. Mild redness typically subsides within a couple of days, making this an ideal treatment for busy lifestyles.
Treatment Applications
Microneedling is versatile and effective for a wide range of skin concerns, tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals with adjustable needle depths and treatment protocols.
Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Reduction
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the dermis. Regular treatments thicken the skin and erase wrinkles for a naturally youthful appearance that develops gradually over 6 weeks and continues improving for months.
Acne & Surgical Scar Revision
Break down scar tissue and stimulate healthy collagen formation for rolling, boxcar, and superficial scars. Up to six procedures may be necessary for significant scarring, with combination treatments often recommended for enhanced effectiveness.
Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Improve uneven skin tone and reduce sun damage through controlled skin regeneration. Microneedling promotes turnover of pigmented cells and enhances the absorption of topical brightening agents for a more radiant, even complexion.
Stretch Mark & Texture Improvement
Target loose skin and stretch marks with deeper needle penetration to remodel collagen in affected areas. Multiple sessions combined with radiofrequency therapy can significantly improve the appearance of both new and mature stretch marks.
Key Benefits of Medical Microneedling
Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvements across multiple skin parameters, with microneedling often outperforming traditional resurfacing treatments.
More Effective Than Peels & Laser
Studies show microneedling is often more effective than dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing in stimulating collagen and elastin production, with less risk and downtime.
Natural, Long-Lasting Enhancement
Results develop naturally as your body regenerates skin from within. New collagen formation and enhanced blood supply provide long-lasting enhancement that continues improving over months.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling is safe for all skin tones and types. The non-thermal mechanism avoids risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin.
Your Microneedling Treatment Journey
From consultation to aftercare, every step is transparent, comfortable, and focused on your safety and optimal results.
Consultation
Discuss your skin concerns with Professor Khan. Medical history review, skin assessment, and personalised treatment plan with appropriate needle depth and treatment protocol.
Preparation & Numbing
Topical anaesthetic is applied for 30 minutes to ensure comfort. Both skin and device are thoroughly cleansed with antiseptic solution to maintain clinical sterility.
Microneedling Treatment
The derma pen creates thousands of micro medical needle columns in the skin over 20-30 minutes. Micro bleeding is the desired endpoint, indicating optimal dermal penetration.
Aftercare & Review
Detailed aftercare instructions provided. Visible signs of regeneration appear from 6 weeks, with the process continuing for months. 3-4 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart recommended.
Safety & Suitability
Microneedling is a very safe treatment when performed by a qualified medical professional. However, it is not recommended in certain circumstances.
Note: If you suffer from cold sores, please advise your clinician as facial injections can trigger the virus. A consultation with Professor Khan will determine your full suitability.
