Microneedling is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating precise micro-injuries to the outermost layer of the skin – known as the stratum corneum. These tiny channels trigger your body’s natural healing process, resulting in thicker, healthier, and more resilient skin over time.
At Omniya Clinic in London, we use medical-grade devices such as the SkinPen and Dermapen to treat a wide range of skin concerns. Below, we explore the key skin issues and facial or body areas microneedling is best suited for – and how it works in each case.
For a full overview of how the treatment works, please visit our microneedling treatment page.
Microneedling is remarkably versatile. It’s used across the face and body to treat concerns such as:
Let’s take a closer look at the most commonly treated concerns and how microneedling helps improve them.
Microneedling is particularly effective for both inflammatory and passive pigmentation. Inflammatory pigmentation happens when melanin rises to the skin’s surface in response to trauma – often from sun exposure, injury, or harsh products. Passive pigmentation, by contrast, is hormonally driven – often seen in pregnancy, when taking the contraceptive pill, or during hormonal imbalances.
By triggering controlled regeneration and enhancing the skin’s absorption of brightening agents (such as vitamin C or tranexamic acid), microneedling helps fade pigmentation and create a more even skin tone. To optimise your results, we’ll often recommend a tailored skincare regime before and after your treatments.
According to medical studies, between 30–95% of people with acne will experience some form of scarring. Microneedling helps minimise these scars by mechanically breaking down scar tissue and stimulating the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin.
The result? A smoother skin texture, reduced indentations, and a significant improvement in post-acne confidence. Most clients begin to see real changes after 3–4 sessions spaced around 4 weeks apart. Learn more about how microneedling compares to alternative treatments like microdermabrasion here.
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and volume. Collagen production slows down, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging – particularly in areas like the forehead, eyes, and around the mouth.
Microneedling combats this by stimulating the body to produce fresh collagen, effectively “plumping” the skin from within. Over time, skin appears firmer, thicker and more youthful. When combined with WOW Fusion or hyaluronic acid boosters, the anti-ageing benefits are even more pronounced.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that often appears as redness or flushing, usually around the cheeks, nose and chin. While there is no permanent cure, microneedling can help control symptoms by improving the density and resilience of the skin barrier.
By boosting epidermal growth factors and strengthening the vessel walls, microneedling helps reduce the appearance of visible capillaries and general redness. It also enhances the delivery of antioxidants and calming serums to reduce inflammation and soothe sensitive skin.
While microneedling is often associated with the face, it can be equally effective for body treatments, particularly for:
Each area is assessed individually, and the depth of the microneedling is adjusted accordingly. Our Knightsbridge clinic offers a range of microneedling plans designed to support your wider aesthetic goals.
To get the most out of your treatment and reduce the risk of side effects, we recommend the following before your appointment:
For a detailed checklist, see our microneedling pre- and post-care guide.
Most people experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after treatment – similar to a sunburn. You may feel some tightness or slight sensitivity for 2–3 days. Minor flaking or dryness is also common as the skin renews itself.
Recovery tips include:
Most clients recover within 3–4 days, although full healing may take up to 7 days depending on your skin type and the intensity of treatment.
For best results, we typically recommend a course of 3 to 6 sessions, depending on your goals and skin condition. Clients targeting deep scars or stretch marks may require more sessions than those focusing on mild pigmentation or glow-boosting.
