Derma FNS Microneedling

Following your Microneedling treatment, it is important to care for your skin correctly to support healing, stimulate collagen production and achieve the best possible results. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: Mild to moderate redness, similar to sunburn. Slight swelling. Tightness or sensitivity. Mild warmth in the treated area. Dryness or light flaking as the skin renews itself. Pinpoint bleeding may occur immediately after treatment. Your skin may feel rough or tight for several days. These reactions are expected and usually settle within 24–72 hours, although some mild dryness or flaking may continue for up to a week. To protect your skin and support healing: Use only the soothing serum or moisturiser recommended by your practitioner. Keep the skin clean and well hydrated. Drink plenty of water to support your skin's natural healing process. Avoid touching, rubbing or scratching the treated area. Do not apply makeup for 24 hours, unless advised otherwise by your practitioner. For the first 24–48 hours: Avoid direct sun exposure. Avoid hot baths, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water. Avoid applying perfumes or fragranced products to the treated area. For the first 5–7 days: Avoid retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums, exfoliating acids and facial scrubs. Continue using a gentle cleanser and moisturiser only. Avoid chemical peels, dermaplaning, laser treatments or IPL until advised by your practitioner. Do not pick, scratch or exfoliate any dry or flaky skin. Protecting your skin from UV exposure is essential following Microneedling. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day, even on cloudy days. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors. Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks following treatment. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or other physical sun protection whenever possible. Failure to protect your skin from UV exposure can increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Microneedling stimulates your body's natural collagen and elastin production, with improvements continuing for several weeks after each treatment. To maximise your results: Attend your recommended course of treatments, usually 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns. Continue using daily SPF to protect your skin and maintain your results. Follow a personalised homecare routine recommended by your practitioner. Keep your skin well hydrated with quality moisturisers and adequate daily water intake. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your healing or experience: Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. Excessive swelling or increasing pain. Blistering. Delayed healing. Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your Microneedling treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Recently tanned skin is more susceptible to irritation and pigmentation changes. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day before your treatment and continue to protect your skin from UV exposure. Discontinue the use of retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums, benzoyl peroxide and exfoliating products for 5–7 days before treatment, unless advised otherwise by your practitioner. Avoid chemical peels, dermaplaning, laser treatments or IPL treatments on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. Do not wax, thread, use depilatory creams or bleach facial hair on the treatment area for 5–7 days before treatment. Avoid facial scrubs and mechanical exfoliation for 5 days before your appointment. If you are prone to cold sores (herpes simplex), please inform your practitioner before treatment, as preventative antiviral medication may be recommended. Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, moisturisers, sunscreen, oils and perfume on the treatment area. Stay well hydrated before your appointment to support healthy skin function and optimise your treatment results. Inform your practitioner if you are taking or have recently taken Roaccutane (Isotretinoin), antibiotics, steroids, blood-thinning medication, photosensitising medications or topical prescription skincare, as these may affect your suitability for treatment. Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status, skin conditions or recent aesthetic treatments before your appointment. If you have an active cold sore, skin infection, acne flare-up, eczema flare-up, dermatitis, sunburn, open wound or irritated skin within the treatment area, please contact the clinic as your treatment may need to be postponed. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and treatment goals, and confirm your suitability for Microneedling. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, enlarged pores and pigmentation, and restore a smoother, healthier-looking complexion safely and effectively.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes a full skin assessment and a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin type, concerns and treatment goals. FREE Telephone Consultation – Ideal if you'd like to discuss your skin concerns, learn more about Microneedling and ask any initial questions before booking. If you decide to proceed with treatment, we'll recommend the most suitable consultation option based on your individual skin needs and treatment goals.

A consultation is an essential part of your Microneedling treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether Microneedling is the most suitable treatment for your skin. We will review your: Skin type and current skin condition. Medical history and current medications. Previous skin and aesthetic treatments. Current skincare routine and products. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how Microneedling works, discuss the expected results, recovery time and any potential risks, and answer any questions you may have. This ensures your treatment is tailored to your individual skin needs and carried out safely to achieve the best possible results. For your appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin, free from makeup, moisturisers and sunscreen on the treatment area. This allows your practitioner to carry out a thorough skin assessment and, where appropriate, proceed with treatment on the same day. Every person's skin is unique, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual skin concerns. Whether you're looking to improve acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, pigmentation, stretch marks or overall skin texture and firmness, your Microneedling treatment will be tailored to help you achieve healthier, smoother and more radiant skin.

Active cancer or those currently undergoing cancer treatment, pregnancy, autoimmune conditions, history of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing. Active acne or inflamed breakouts within the treatment area, diabetes. Treatment may require further assessment for clients with: known allergies or sensitivities to topical products, serums or numbing agents used during treatment

For your Derma FNS Microneedling appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin free from makeup where possible. If treatment is being performed on the face, neck or chest, a loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to allow easy access and minimise friction afterwards. Please avoid wearing high collars, scarves or rough fabrics that may irritate the skin following treatment. Soft, breathable clothing is recommended, as the treated area may appear slightly red and feel warm or sensitive for 24–48 hours afterwards. Avoid applying fake tan, heavy moisturisers, perfumes or active skincare products to the treatment area before your appointment unless otherwise advised. Most clients are able to return to normal activities immediately, although strenuous exercise and excessive heat should be avoided for the first 24 hours. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required.

Home rollers do not provide the same precision, depth control or results as professional microneedling treatments and may increase the risk of irritation or infection if used incorrectly.

No. The effectiveness of microneedling is determined by the treatment protocol and your skin's response, not by how red or sensitive the skin appears afterwards.

Microneedling can improve fine lines, skin texture and firmness, but no treatment can completely remove every wrinkle.

Your skin may appear red immediately after treatment, similar to mild sunburn, but this is a normal response and usually settles within a few days.

Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, but most clients require a course of treatments to achieve optimal results.

Technically yes... but not in the way you're imagining! Derma FNS Microneedling uses tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal.

Microneedling Treatment is commonly performed on the face, neck and décolletage. It can also be used on other areas of the body to improve scarring, stretch marks and skin texture. Suitability will be assessed during consultation.

Collagen production occurs gradually, and multiple treatments allow the skin to progressively improve in texture, firmness and overall appearance. A course of treatments helps achieve longer-lasting and more noticeable results

Microneedling treatments are usually spaced around 4–6 weeks apart. This allows the skin time to heal and produce new collagen between sessions.

Microneedling Treatment can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, minimise acne scars and improve overall skin tone. As collagen production increases, the skin often appears smoother, firmer and more refreshed over time.

Initial improvements in texture and brightness may be noticeable within a few weeks. More significant results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as new collagen forms and strengthens the skin.

Some improvement can be seen after one session. However, for concerns such as acne scarring or stretch marks, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results. Collagen production continues for several months after treatment.

Most clients find Derma FNS™ Microneedling very manageable, especially with numbing cream applied beforehand. You may feel a light scratching or vibrating sensation during treatment, but discomfort is minimal.

Your treatment begins with a consultation and skin preparation. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort. The Derma FNS™ device is then passed over the treatment area in controlled movements, creating precise micro-channels in the skin. The procedure typically lasts between 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Derma FNS™ uses vertical needle technology to create thousands of tiny micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the release of growth factors, which help break down old fibrous collagen and stimulate the development of fresh collagen and elastin. Over time, this process improves skin structure, smoothness and resilience.

Derma FNS™ Microneedling is effective for improving fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks and uneven skin texture. It can also support skin tightening, rejuvenation and in some cases help stimulate hair growth when used for alopecia treatment. A consultation will determine if this treatment is suitable for your specific concern.

Derma FNS™ Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses precise, vertical micro-insertions to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, it encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, helping to improve texture, firmness and overall skin quality.
