Who Microneedling Is For
Microneedling is a versatile treatment suited to a wide range of skin concerns and goals. It is a thoughtful choice whether you are looking to maintain healthy-looking skin or address specific textural concerns.
- Those wanting to soften the appearance of fine lines and improve overall skin texture
- Anyone hoping to refine the look of enlarged pores and uneven tone
- People with the appearance of scarring or marks they would like to smooth
- Clients seeking a refreshed, more radiant complexion as part of a skincare routine
- Those who prefer a results-led facial treatment with minimal downtime
- Anyone of any skin type or tone looking to support skin firmness and glow
Why Choose Microneedling
Microneedling works with your skin's natural processes rather than against them. By creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin, the treatment encourages the body's own collagen-induction response, helping skin to look firmer, smoother and more even over time. It is this gentle prompting of your skin's own renewal that makes microneedling such a well-loved treatment for texture and tone.
At By Shiva Beauty Clinic, microneedling is carried out by experienced hands using professional equipment and a meticulous, hygienic technique. Every appointment begins with a proper consultation so the treatment can be tailored to your skin and your goals, never rushed and never one-size-fits-all.
As part of our wider facial menu, microneedling sits alongside our Glacé™ Signature Facial and ClinicCare range, giving you a considered pathway to healthier-looking skin. We focus on realistic, gradual improvement and on making each visit a genuinely relaxing experience.
How Microneedling Works
A professional microneedling device passes over the skin using a cluster of very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels at the surface. These tiny channels naturally stimulate the skin's collagen-induction process, the mechanism by which skin renews and supports itself, encouraging a smoother texture and a healthier-looking glow in the weeks that follow.
Because the treatment prompts your skin to do its own work, results build gradually and benefit from a planned course. A nourishing serum is typically applied during and after the session to support comfort and condition, and your therapist will adjust the approach to suit the sensitivity and needs of your skin.
Your Microneedling Appointment
From the moment you arrive, your comfort and skin health guide every step. Here is what a typical 60-minute session looks like at By Shiva Beauty Clinic.
- We begin with a relaxed consultation to discuss your skin, your goals and any concerns, and to confirm the treatment is right for you.
- Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared, removing make-up, oils and impurities to create a clean canvas.
- The professional microneedling treatment is carried out methodically across the targeted areas, with your therapist working at a depth suited to your skin.
- A soothing, nourishing serum is applied to comfort the skin and support its post-treatment condition.
- We finish by calming the skin and applying suitable protective products, then talk you through your aftercare.
- Where appropriate, we discuss a recommended course and book your follow-up appointments so your results can build over time.
In the Treatment Room
Microneedling is generally well tolerated, with most clients describing a light prickling or tingling sensation as the device passes over the skin. Your therapist works carefully and checks in with you throughout, adjusting to keep you comfortable from start to finish.
The room is calm and private, and the soothing serums applied during treatment help the skin feel cared for. By the end of your session you can expect your skin to look a little flushed or pink, much like a warm glow, which settles in the hours that follow.
What to Expect from Your Results
Microneedling delivers gradual, natural-looking improvement as your skin's own renewal process unfolds. Here is a general timeline of what many clients notice.
- Immediately after: skin may look pink or flushed with a healthy glow, settling within 24-48 hours
- First week: skin feels refreshed and may appear brighter as it recovers
- Two to four weeks: texture and tone often begin to look smoother and more even
- Over a course: the appearance of fine lines, pores and uneven texture is progressively softened
- With maintenance: regular sessions help support an ongoing healthy-looking, radiant complexion
Caring for Your Skin Afterwards
Good aftercare helps your skin settle comfortably and makes the most of your treatment. Your therapist will talk you through everything, and these simple steps are a helpful guide.
- Keep the skin clean and avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for the rest of the day
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure while skin recovers
- Skip make-up, heavy products and active ingredients such as retinol or acids for around 24-48 hours
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga and vigorous exercise for the first day or two
- Keep skin hydrated with gentle, soothing products as advised by your therapist
- Mild redness can be normal for 24-48 hours; let us know if you have any questions
Safety and Suitability
Your safety and comfort are our priority. Microneedling does not require a patch test, but every treatment begins with a consultation to confirm it is suitable for you. Mild redness is a normal part of the process and usually settles within 24-48 hours.
Microneedling may not be appropriate during pregnancy, for those with active skin infections, breakouts or certain skin conditions in the treatment area, or for anyone taking specific medications affecting the skin. Please share your full medical and skincare history at your consultation so we can advise you honestly and tailor your care.
