Expert Microneedling

Professional Microneedling is considered a minimally invasive treatment, and while there is no significant downtime, you may experience some short-term skin responses post-treatment. This typically includes redness (similar to a mild sunburn), warmth, tightness, or slight sensitivity in the treated areas for up to 24–48 hours.

Immediately after the session, your skin will likely appear flushed and may feel warm to the touch. This is a completely normal part of the healing response and indicates that the skin is regenerating. Some clients may also notice light peeling or dryness a few days later, which is the body’s way of shedding old skin cells and encouraging fresh renewal.

We advise avoiding makeup, sun exposure, heat (such as saunas or steam), and intense exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Your practitioner will apply calming and restorative skincare at the end of the treatment and give you tailored aftercare advice to maximise results.

Unlike more invasive procedures, you won’t need to take time off work or alter your schedule. Most clients resume daily activities the same day, making orofessional microneedling a convenient option for skin rejuvenation with minimal disruption.

The treatment is gentle, with most clients experiencing a pleasant warming sensation during the procedure. Afterward, you may notice a slight redness or warmth in the treated areas, similar to a mild sun-kissed glow. This usually fades within a few hours and can easily be covered with mineral makeup if desired — although many clients leave the clinic with a natural post-treatment glow they love to show off.

Professional Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of common skin concerns. It’s particularly effective for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles: Helps plump the skin by boosting collagen and improving firmness.

• Acne scarring: Breaks down scar tissue and encourages smoother skin texture.

• Enlarged pores: Tightens the skin and reduces pore visibility.

• Pigmentation and sun damage: Evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of sun spots or post-inflammatory pigmentation.

• Stretch marks: Can also be used on the body to improve the appearance of stretch marks over time.

• Dull or tired-looking skin: Promotes natural radiance and a fresher complexion.

Professional Microneedling can be tailored to each client’s goals, and at The Skin Trainer, we also combine it with high-performance serums or regenerative ingredients like exosomes and polynucleotides for even more targeted results.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and talk through your concerns before designing a personalised microneedling plan that suits your needs.

At The Skin Trainer, we typically suggest a course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced about 2–4 weeks apart. This allows the skin time to respond, build collagen, and maintain momentum from one treatment to the next. After your initial course, maintenance treatments can be scheduled every 4–8 weeks depending on your skin type, age, and lifestyle factors.

While classic microneedling on its own is highly effective, combining it with regenerative actives can significantly enhance the results.

Classic Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to trigger collagen production and skin renewal. It’s ideal for improving general tone, texture, and fine lines.

Microneedling with Polynucleotides takes this a step further by infusing the skin with powerful peptides, antioxidants, and cell-stimulating ingredients that work on deep hydration, repair, and visible revitalisation. This combination is often described as a "bio-revitalisation facial" — perfect for tired, dry, or ageing skin.

Professional Microneedling with Exosomes introduces next-generation skincare into the treatment. Exosomes are derived from stem cell research and contain hundreds of growth factors that assist in cellular repair, skin restructuring, and anti-inflammatory healing. This treatment is particularly beneficial for clients with significant ageing concerns, damaged skin, or those looking for maximum rejuvenation in minimal time.

Each option is tailored to your skin condition and desired outcome. Your practitioner will help you decide which version is right for you during your consultation.

The number of sessions needed depends on your skin goals, concerns, and how your skin responds to treatment. For general skin maintenance, 1–3 sessions may be sufficient. However, for more advanced concerns like acne scarring or deep lines, a course of 4–6 sessions is often recommended, spaced about 4 weeks apart.

This spacing allows your skin to go through a full cycle of regeneration between treatments. Since collagen production increases gradually, results tend to build with each session, becoming more visible over time.

Clients seeking anti-ageing benefits or more advanced skin renewal often combine professional microneedling with exosomes or polynucleotides to intensify the outcome. These additional actives can accelerate healing and offer stronger long-term improvement in texture, tone, and elasticity.

After completing a course, you may choose to schedule maintenance sessions every few months to maintain your results. During your consultation, we’ll create a bespoke treatment plan based on your goals, skin condition, and lifestyle.

Yes — and it’s more important than many realise. While your in-clinic treatments deliver targeted results, Prologic home care helps maintain and build on those results daily. Without the correct support, you risk undoing the progress made in your sessions. Prologic is a treatment in a tube — clinically formulated and prescribed based on your skin's condition and goals. If you’re on a budget, prioritising home care over ad-hoc treatments is actually the more effective and sustainable route to long-term skin health.
