Medical microneedling is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality. By creating controlled microchannels within the skin, the treatment stimulates natural skin renewal and reveals fresher, healthier-looking skin.

At Kent Skin and Laser Clinic, we offer a state of the art Digital Medical Microneedling device to ensure all treatments are carefully tailored to your individual skin type and concerns, bringing safe, controlled, and natural-looking results.

What can microneedling treat?

Medical microneedling can help improve a wide range of common skin concerns, including:

• Acne and acne scarring
• Dull or uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Pigmentation and sun damage
• Dry or dehydrated skin

Benefits of treatment

Following a course of treatments, many patients notice:

• Smoother, more even skin texture
• Reduced acne breakouts and congestion
• Improvement in acne scarring
• Refined pores
• Increased firmness and elasticity
• Enhanced overall radiance

How does it work?

Medical microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin, helping to reduce congestion, improve active acne, and stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. This encourages collagen and elastin production, supporting clearer, firmer, and more balanced skin.

The treatment also creates microchannels that allow for enhanced absorption of active ingredients, improving overall treatment effectiveness.

Different treatment depths can be tailored to target specific concerns, ranging from superficial skin refreshment to deeper treatment of acne scarring and texture.

Treatments are always carefully tailored to ensure the skin is treated safely and progressively, helping to calm inflammation, improve breakouts, and achieve visible results without unnecessary irritation.

What can I expect?

Treatments are generally well tolerated, with a mild warming or vibrating sensation during the procedure. A numbing cream may be applied beforehand to ensure comfort.

Following treatment, the skin may appear red, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually settles within 24–48 hours. Some dryness or light flaking may occur as the skin renews.

For best results, a course of treatments is usually recommended, alongside a personalised skincare routine.

Complementary Treatments

Medical microneedling can be combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive skin programme, including:
