Microneedling
Microneedling is a reliable treatment that addresses skin concerns that sit just beneath the surface, such as textural irregularities, fine lines, and stubborn acne scarring. Rather than seeking a dramatic, immediate alteration, Microneedling supports subtle, sustained improvement in your skin's quality over time.
Improving skin texture, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, treating acne scars, and shrinking enlarged pores.
Minimally invasive, Collagen Induction Therapy.
Minimal downtime, typically 24-48 hours of mild redness.
Results are long-lasting, maintained with follow-up sessions.
Gradual, visible improvement in skin quality and texture over several weeks.
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a treatment that involves using a specialized device equipped with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
These micro-injuries intentionally disrupt the skin's surface, activating the skin’s healing process and signaling the production of new collagen and elastin.
Your Aesthetic Specialist will customize the depth of the tiny needles based on your specific needs. This treatment may also be combined with advanced serums to enhance collagen-stimulating effects and accelerate skin renewal results.
Your microneedling treatment is streamlined and comfortable. The process begins with applying a topical anesthesia or numbing cream to the targeted area to maximize your comfort throughout the session. Once the area is prepared, your Manor specialist moves the Microneedling device smoothly over your skin.
The procedure itself usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Immediately after the procedure, your skin will appear flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness is a sign that your skin's internal repair process has begun, setting the stage for smoother, clearer results.
Microneedling effectively targets surface irregularities and textural issues caused by damage or aging. It is frequently used to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that form around the mouth or eyes. It is also highly beneficial for improving the visibility of acne scarring, including shallow or pitted scars, and minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores. Stimulating collagen just beneath the surface helps the skin fill in irregularities and regain a more uniform texture and tone.
While most commonly performed on the face, microneedling is safe and effective for numerous body areas. It is frequently used on the neck and chest to improve sun damage and skin texture, and even for reducing the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen or thighs.
Microneedling offers a wide array of benefits for those focused on maintenance and refinement. The most significant benefit is the natural boost to collagen production, which over time increases skin elasticity and firmness.
Because it works beneath the surface, it is suitable for nearly all skin tones and carries little risk of hyperpigmentation compared to aggressive laser treatments. It is a cosmetic procedure that allows you to address multiple concerns, like dark spots, scarring, and fine lines, all in one minimally invasive treatment.
Microneedling is an excellent option for most patients seeking skin rejuvenation and improvement in texture. Ideal candidates are in good general health and want to correct concerns like mild scarring, sun damage, and the early signs of aging. You should avoid this treatment if you have active acne (as it can spread bacteria) or if you have a weakened immune system.
Recovery is straightforward and requires only a small period of attentive aftercare. Immediately following the treatment, your skin will have some mild redness, which usually subsides within 24 hours. Most clients experience minimal downtime and can comfortably return to their normal routines by the next day. It is crucial to strictly avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-quality SPF during the skin’s healing process. Your Manor specialist will guide you through the right medical-grade products to ensure optimal healing and the best skin results.
You will begin to see initial improvements in the tone and texture of your skin within the first few weeks, as the redness disappears and cell turnover increases. However, because the treatment stimulates new collagen production, the most significant and sustained results emerge gradually over three to six months. These improvements are long-lasting, provided you maintain a good skincare regimen and protect your skin from the sun. We recommend a course of multiple treatments to reach your optimal results, followed by annual maintenance sessions to keep your momentum going strong.

Yes, microneedling is one of the effective aesthetic treatments for improving the appearance of stretch marks. It works similarly to how it treats acne scars by stimulating the skin in the affected area to initiate collagen production and remodel the underlying tissue, improving both color and texture over time.
While some initial improvement may be noticed after your first treatment session, most patients require a series of multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The exact number needed will depend on the severity of your concerns, such as the depth of acne scarring or the degree of textural irregularity.
For the best results and to minimize any risk of irritation or infection, we advise waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated area. The skin needs time to complete its initial repair phase, and applying products too soon can hinder the healing process.
Microneedling, a form of Collagen Induction Therapy, generally offers a shorter recovery time and a lower risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones than certain laser treatments. While lasers use light/heat, Microneedling uses physical micro-injury. Both stimulate collagen production, but your Manor specialist will determine which approach is best suited for your specific needs and skin concerns.
Sustaining your skin results requires a commitment to a precise skin care regimen. We recommend using medical-grade serums, consistent daily SPF protection, and scheduling regular maintenance sessions once per year to continually support collagen and elastin production.
