Microneedling
Microneedling is a key treatment used in skin rejuvenation to battle common conditions such as acne scars, sun-damaged skin, fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks.
Here at S-Thetics Clinic, we use the E-Dermastamp (EDS), an electronic form of medical microneedling.
During the procedure, tiny needles penetrate the skin to activate processes in your cells which also occur after injuries.
This encourages the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally – resulting in smoother, brighter, younger and healthier-looking skin.
TIME
20-60 mins depending on the size of the target area
AREAS
Face and hands
RESULTS
Smoother, brighter, younger and healthier looking skin
HOW IT WORKS
The body detects the puncture of the needles as small injuries in the skin which triggers a healing process
HOW MANY TREATMENTS
One to three treatments, ongoing for optimal results
It works as the body detects the puncture of the needles as small injuries in the skin which triggers a healing process, stimulating natural collagen production.
They will then rapidly close so that your skin can quickly recover.
This increased collagen level leads to an improvement of your skin’s appearance, making skin tighter and firmer and giving it a healthy glow, while also repairing areas that have been damaged by scarring or UV light.
This innovative treatment is accurately controlled by one of our highly-trained medical team, meaning that needle depth and speed can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and the particular condition of that area of skin.
We also apply a topical anaesthetic to the area before treatment, so it is comfortable throughout.

Ideal treatment for
Enlarged pores often stand in the way of smooth, flawless looking skin, and are caused by an excess in oil, or sebum production.
Pigmentation is the medical term for patches or multiple areas on the skin’s surface that appear darker than the patient’s natural skin tone. This occurs when melanin, a naturally occurring pigment in the body, builds up and deposits in one particular spot; thus resulting in it taking on a darker appearance.
Frown lines are the lines that appear between the eyebrows, either when frowning, or as we age and elasticity is gone from the area, on a permanent basis. Ageing skin is most identifiable by the presence of wrinkles. As collagen production decreases over time, the skin becomes less able to repair itself from the movement of everyday life. There are, fortunately, a variety of different treatments that can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles and return a youthful complexion to the skin.
Acne scars are an associated complication of acne. Whilst any type of spot can lead to scarring, particularly when picked or squeezed, it is more likely to occur in more serious types of acne, such as nodules or cysts.
FAQs
Following the procedure, your skin will start to naturally regenerate and repair itself. This will take some time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and the dermis layer is rejuvenated.
It can take up to six weeks before you see signs of this regeneration and repair, although the process will continue to work over the following months, leaving you with natural, long lasting results.
For optimal results, we recommend at least three treatments, taken every six weeks.
This device can be used on the face, neck and body and is effective on skin of all ages and types.
At S-Thetics Clinic, we believe a detailed consultation and full VISIA skin analysis are essential before performing any treatment. It is during this consultation that we will discuss your suitability for the microneedling procedure.
Immediately after the procedure you will look as though you have moderate sunburn and your skin may feel warmer and tighter than usual. This normally starts to subside after one to two hours and will return to normal within 24 to 36 hours.
We will also recommend suitable products to soothe and calm your skin, as well as sun protection to further protect and enhance the rejuvenation process.
