What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, stimulate natural collagen production, and restore a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. Using fine, sterile needles, the treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, encouraging its natural repair and renewal processes.
At CosMedic, Dr Lerissa Chetty offers personalised microneedling treatments to address concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and early signs of ageing.
Our Approach...
At CosMedic, microneedling is more than a skin treatment; it's a personalised approach to achieving healthier, more radiant skin. Dr Chetty carefully assesses your skin concerns and develops a tailored treatment plan designed to encourage collagen production and improve overall skin quality.
Our focus is on natural-looking improvements, helping you achieve smoother, firmer, and more refreshed skin while maintaining your unique beauty.
Best Suited to...
Microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to improve their skin's overall appearance without invasive surgery. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing acne scarring, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, and a loss of skin firmness.
This treatment is well suited to individuals seeking gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin quality. By stimulating the skin's own repair processes, microneedling can help restore a smoother texture, improve radiance, and support a healthier-looking complexion.
Microneedling may also be suitable for areas beyond the face, including the neck, chest, and selected areas of the body where skin texture, stretch marks, or scarring are concerns. Treatment suitability is determined through an individual skin assessment.

Treatment Process
Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation, where Dr Chetty evaluates your skin condition, discusses your concerns, and recommends a treatment plan suited to your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Procedure
During your microneedling treatment, a specialised device containing fine, sterile needles creates controlled micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural healing response and encourages collagen production. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to improve comfort throughout the procedure.
Aftercare
Following treatment, your skin may appear red, feel warm, or experience mild sensitivity for a few days. You will receive personalised aftercare instructions, including guidance on gentle skincare, sun protection, and avoiding irritating products while your skin recovers.

FAQs
1 / What is microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate the body's natural repair response, encouraging collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture and appearance over time.
2 / Is microneedling painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to help minimise sensitivity and make the procedure more comfortable.
3 / How many microneedling treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and desired results. A series of approximately 3–6 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, is commonly recommended, particularly when treating acne scars or more noticeable skin texture concerns.
4 / What are the side effects of microneedling?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, dryness, and skin sensitivity are common following treatment. These effects usually settle within a few days. Less common risks include infection, pigmentation changes, and scarring, which will be discussed during your consultation.
5 / When will I see results from microneedling?
Some patients notice an improvement in skin radiance as the initial redness settles. More noticeable changes in texture and firmness generally develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. Results vary depending on your skin condition and treatment plan.
6 / Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Microneedling may be incorporated into a broader skin rejuvenation programme alongside selected treatments, such as PRP or other suitable skin therapies. Dr Chetty will recommend safe treatment combinations and appropriate intervals based on your individual skin needs.
