If you’ve ever wished for a fresh start for your skin, one that smooths texture, softens lines, fades scars and restores glow, microneedling might just be your answer.

Microneedling is a clinically backed treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to repair and rejuvenate from the inside out. At Viva Well, it’s one of our most trusted, non-invasive options to help clients achieve visibly healthier skin with minimal downtime.

Here’s everything you need to know about this treatment.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, which increases:

• Collagen production
  
• Elastin synthesis
  
• Cell turnover
  

The result? Firmer, smoother, more even skin with a radiant, youthful appearance over time.

At Viva Well, we use medical-grade microneedling devices for safe, effective results that go beyond surface-level improvements.

What does it treat?

Microneedling is incredibly versatile. Whether your concern is texture, pigmentation or general skin ageing, it’s a proven solution for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
  
• Acne scars and enlarged pores
  
• Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
  
• Stretch marks
  
• Dull, tired-looking skin
  
• Loss of elasticity and firmness
  

It’s also a great preventative treatment for those looking to maintain skin health and delay visible ageing.

Microneedling at Viva Well: Our Approach

We believe results come from personalisation. That’s why every microneedling treatment at Viva Well is tailored to your skin’s current condition and long-term goals.

Your appointment includes:

• A thorough skin assessment
  
• A plan that may combine microneedling with booster serums like hyaluronic acid or growth factors
  
• Optional add-ons like LED therapy to enhance recovery and glow
  
• Aftercare guidance to maximise your results
  

For deeper concerns, we may recommend a course of 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

What to expect: before, during and after microneedling

Before

• Skin should be clean and free of active infections or sunburn.
  
• Avoid retinol and exfoliants for 2–3 days prior.
  
• We’ll assess your skin and discuss your expectations and goals.
  

During

• A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
  
• The microneedling device gently glides across your skin, creating microchannels.
  
• The treatment takes about 30-45 minutes depending on the area.
  

After

• Skin may appear red, tight or warm for 24-48 hours (like a mild sunburn).
  
• You may experience light flaking or dryness in the days that follow.
  
• Visible improvement typically begins within 1-2 weeks, with continued results as collagen builds over the next month.
  

We’ll provide you with soothing products and personalised aftercare to support healing.

Can Microneedling Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Absolutely. Microneedling works beautifully alongside other aesthetic and wellness treatments, including:

• Skin Boosters for long-lasting hydration and plumpness
  
• Polynucleotides for skin regeneration and resilience
  
• IV Drips for internal skin nourishment and collagen support
  
• Chemical peels or LED therapy for targeted results
  

At Viva Well, we design your plan to reflect your skin’s needs, not just what’s trendy.

Real results: before and after

One of our clients came to Viva Well with persistent acne and visible post-inflammatory pigmentation, concerns that had impacted not only her skin, but her self-esteem. Over the course of a full year, we implemented a personalised skin protocol combining microneedling sessions with regular deep cleanse facials.

This gradual, layered approach allowed us to treat both active breakouts and underlying pigmentation safely and effectively. The results? A visibly clearer, more even-toned complexion, smoother skin texture, and, most importantly, renewed confidence.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that real skin transformations take time, consistency, and a team that understands your skin’s needs from the inside out.

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones, but the key is expert guidance and proper technique. That’s why, at Viva Well, you’ll be treated by experienced professionals with a deep understanding of skin biology and aesthetics.

Whether you’re addressing a specific concern or looking to future-proof your skin, this treatment offers results that feel as good as they look.
