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.

Microneedling facial rejuvenation

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.

Microneedling for acne scars

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.

Microneedling for pigmentation

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.

Microneedling for stretch marks

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.

1

Consultation

Discuss your skin concerns with Professor Khan. Medical history review, skin assessment, and personalised treatment plan with appropriate needle depth and treatment protocol.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

Active infection or feeling unwell
History of abnormal scarring (keloid)
Poorly controlled medical conditions
Bleeding disorders or autoimmune disease
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Taking steroids or blood-thinning medication

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about microneedling at KHAN Aesthetics.

How does microneedling work?
Microneedling uses a hand-held device with surgical-grade needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Each micro-channel penetrates into the dermis and is approximately 0.1mm in width. These channels close rapidly while triggering your body's natural wound healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production from the inside out without causing visible damage to the skin surface.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is described by most patients as uncomfortable rather than painful. We apply a topical anaesthetic for 30 minutes before treatment to numb the skin, and the newest derma pen devices deliver treatment extremely quickly using vibration, causing the least discomfort. Many people find topical ice packs sufficient for non-facial areas. You may experience some stinging after treatment, but this is typically mild.
How many treatments will I need?
For general skin rejuvenation, 3-4 treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart are commonly required. In the treatment of stretch marks, acne scars, and other significant scarring, up to 6 procedures may be necessary. Combination treatments—such as pairing microneedling with radiofrequency therapy or PRP—are often recommended for enhanced effectiveness. Professor Khan will advise on the optimal protocol during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Your body starts to naturally regenerate and repair the skin immediately, working below the surface in the dermis. However, it can take up to six weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen, as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated, and blood supply is enhanced. The process continues over the following months, providing you with a natural and long-lasting enhancement that builds with each session.
What is the aftercare and downtime?
The micro-channels close rapidly, enabling the skin to recover quickly—often the same day. Some redness will remain for a couple of days, and your skin may sting slightly after treatment. You will be advised to apply sunscreen regularly and avoid extremes of heat and cold, exposure to the sun, saunas, sun beds, and vigorous exercise for 48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Is microneedling better than at-home rollers?
Yes. Home-use rollers have the shortest needle lengths and cannot produce the same benefits as practitioner-only microneedling. Medical-grade derma pens allow for precise depth control, sterile single-use needles, and vibration-assisted delivery that minimises discomfort while maximising results. It is also crucial that both the skin and device are properly cleansed with antiseptic solution to avoid infection risks—something best ensured in a clinical setting.
