Microneedling with Growth Factors
Collagen induction therapy for scarring, texture and skin quality.
Overview
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen remodelling. Combined with growth factors or platelet-rich plasma, it improves scar depth and overall skin quality.
What it helps with
- Acne scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Skin texture
- Stretch marks
How it works
Fine needles at a controlled depth stimulate the wound-healing cascade, generating new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
Suitability
- Suitable for all skin tones
- Not suitable for patients with uncontrolled diabetes
- Not performed over active or cystic acne, infection or keloid-prone areas without review
- Not suitable for those with clotting or bleeding disorders
