Microneedling: Is It Right for Me?
Microneedling has become one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics — and for good reason. It's a powerful skin-rejuvenating procedure that can help with everything from fine lines and acne scars to overall texture and radiance. But what exactly does it involve, and how do you know if it’s the right treatment for your skin?
At Arieia, we believe in responsible aesthetics — and that means helping you make informed decisions about your skin. Here’s everything you need to know about microneedling and whether it could be part of your graceful skin journey.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your skin’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production — two key proteins responsible for keeping your skin smooth, firm and youthful.
It’s sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, and while it may sound intense, the procedure is quick, safe, and surprisingly comfortable when performed by trained professionals.
What Can Microneedling Help With?
Microneedling is known for its versatility. It can treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and general scarring
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone or texture
Pigmentation or sun damage
Stretch marks
Dull or tired-looking skin
Over time, microneedling helps to strengthen and renew the skin from within, leaving it looking fresher, smoother and more even.
What Happens During the Treatment?
At Arieia, we begin every treatment with a thorough consultation to ensure microneedling is right for your skin. If we proceed, we’ll cleanse and prep your skin before applying a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort.
Using a specialised microneedling device, we’ll gently pass over the skin in targeted areas. Most people describe the sensation as a mild tingling or light pressure. After the treatment, your skin may appear pink and feel warm, like mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours.
Is Microneedling Right for You?
Microneedling can benefit most skin types, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. It may not be suitable if you:
Have active acne or inflamed skin conditions like eczema or rosacea
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Are prone to keloid scarring
Have certain underlying medical conditions
That’s why a professional consultation is so important — we’ll assess your skin and recommend the best course of action for your goals, whether that includes microneedling or another responsible alternative.
