At Belle Vous Spa, we offer a pain-free microneedling treatment designed to help rebuild collagen and improve skin tone. Our professional therapists will ensure your comfort by applying numbing cream before the procedure. Using fine needles, we create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve overall skin texture.
Whether you’re looking to address acne scarring, minimise wrinkles, treat pigmentation or rejuvenate your skin, microneedling can be an effective solution. By promoting collagen production and enhancing skin renewal processes, microneedling can help achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Our microneedling treatment is safe, non-invasive, and suitable for various skin types and concerns. It’s a versatile option for individuals seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance and address specific skin issues. Results are similar to laser resurfacing but without the thermal heat, meaning it is a safer to use on all skin types with minimal risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
This treatment aims to restore the skin to its optimal health and functionality. While achieving a youthful appearance is certainly a goal of skin rejuvenation, the deeper objective is to encourage the skin to behave in a more youthful manner.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device called a dermaroller or a microneedling pen. This device contains small fine needles that penetrate the skin at various depths, ranging from 0.25mm to 2.5mm. The specific needle length used in your treatment will depend on your individual goals and the area of the skin being treated.
During the microneedling procedure, the device creates controlled micro-injuries or punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. As a result, microneedling promotes skin renewal and regeneration, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
Microneedling is commonly used on the face to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
Scars: Microneedling can help improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scars by promoting collagen remodeling and skin regeneration.
Wrinkles and fine lines: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Large pores: Microneedling can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores by promoting skin tightening and improving overall skin texture.
Uneven skin tone and texture: Microneedling can help improve skin tone and texture by promoting cell turnover and collagen synthesis, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.
Yes, when performed by a trained and experienced professional, microneedling is generally considered safe.
Light numbing cream will be applied before microneedling to minimise any discomfort during the procedure. The level of discomfort experienced during microneedling can vary depending on factors such as the length of the needles used and individual pain tolerance. However, most clients report only experiencing a mild sensation during the treatment, with some describing it as a slight vibration of the device.
After the microneedling treatment, it’s normal for the skin to appear slightly pink to red immediately afterward. This erythema typically resolves within 24 hours. Additionally, common post-procedure responses may include:
Avoid makeup for 24 hours: It’s recommended to avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 hours following the procedure. This allows the skin to breathe and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
Be gentle with your skin: Treat your skin gently for the first three days post-treatment. Avoid harsh skincare products, exfoliation, or vigorous rubbing of the skin. Let your skin heal naturally during this time.
Resume skincare routine after three days: After the initial three days, you can return to your usual skincare routine. However, it’s essential to continue using gentle products and avoid any harsh ingredients that could irritate the skin.
Use sunscreen: It’s important to protect your skin from sun exposure, especially in the weeks following microneedling treatment. Use a high factor sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection and reapply as needed, especially if you’ll be spending time outdoors.
