Microneedling
A minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing response and boosting collagen and elastin production.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling creates thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin using a medical-grade device. This triggers the body’s wound healing cascade, stimulating new collagen and elastin production.
The treatment can be combined with exosomes or targeted serums to enhance results. It’s suitable for the face, neck, and body.

Stimulates collagen production
Improves skin texture and tone

From the first contact, Shetha’s knowledge and professionalism were abundantly clear. She gave me an incredibly thorough, hour-long consultation and really got to know me and my needs. Shetha really listened to me and what stands out is her honesty. She absolutely wouldn’t sell you something you don’t need but she will provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision. Having a consultant plastic surgeon in the aesthetics field means you get the full holistic package of recommendations, knowledge and experience. Not only that but her techniques are excellent and I’ve never been happier with aesthetic results. I had lip and cheek filler and some Botox with Shetha and I’ll definitely be coming back. Elsewhere, I’ve found previously that lip filler can sometimes feel lumpy. I’m pleased that with Shetha, I don’t have that at all, my lips feel like mine but look more even and full. Basically, I look like me on a really good day!
I am currently undergoing a treatment journey with Dr Shetha for my acne scarring using Sofwave. I had my first treatment last week, and Dr Shetha couldn't have made me feel more at ease and reassured during the session. She made sure to explain everything throughly, and go at my pace when it got a bit spicy! I am already receiving compliments on my skin, which has boosted my confidence. This is just the start of my skin journey with Dr Shetha, and I can't wait to see my full results down the line. If you are looking for a safe and reliable practitioner, you can't find better than Dr Shetha. She cares about her patients before anything! Looking forward to returning for my next treatment.
I had a consultation with Shetha last week and was absolutely blown away by her kindness, her listening skills and her professionalism. Shetha is warm and welcoming, she listens to your concerns without talking over you (as I have experienced with other aesthetics practitioners) and there is no pressure to take any particular treatment. Shetha did not rush me and clearly explained all of my possible options. She explained the pros and cons of each treatment clearly which was really helpful for me to consider which ones worked best for me without influence. She is clearly an expert in her field and extremely passionate about what she does. I cannot wait to have my treatments done knowing that I will be in safe hands. Thankyou for your time and patience Shetha. See you soon! 🥰
Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling creates uniformly spaced microchannels within the skin. Through adjustment of the needle penetration depth, different levels of the skin can be reached. The controlled microinjuries trigger the healing process, which involves stimulation of fibroblasts. These fibroblasts increase production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin firmness, elasticity and plumpness, yielding a natural, youthful result.
Microneedling is a regenerative medical treatment, causing the skin’s healing process to improve skin quality, texture, tone and elasticity. It is commonly used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring and skin pigmentation. It may be used in conjunction with other regenerative skin treatment modalities and targeted skin care. Dyschromia (pigmentation conditions) indications include melasma, vitiligo, sun damage or ‘age’ spots. While most commonly used on the face, microneedling may be used on any cutaneous skin area.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with a good safety profile. As it does cause a controlled skin insult, select patient groups may not be suitable for this procedure.
You will meet our plastic surgery consultant, Miss Shetha Naji, for a face-to-face consultation. You will have a full medical and aesthetic consultation detailing your desires and concerns, and following a thorough and systematic assessment, a treatment plan will be devised.
This will include a detailed explanation of the procedure itself, associated risks and aftercare. There is no obligation to undertake any treatment.
If you wish to proceed, the treatment will typically last no longer than 60 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or mild buzzing.
Detailed aftercare advice is given following the procedure. Your skin will appear red and, possibly, swollen for up to five days, but typically these subside within 48 hours. Sun exposure should be avoided until your skin is healed, similar to a mild sunburn.
We do advise against having any aesthetic treatments immediately prior to any formal or significant event.
Typically, an initial course of up to six treatments, performed 2-6 weeks apart, are advised to achieve a full result. Results are typically seen after the fourth treatment but may continue to improve for 3-6 months. We recommend a six month review, with maintenance treatments to sustain optimal results.
Everyone is individual and results therefore vary. Depending on the indication, treatment and skin care management, results may last up to six months.

Every treatment plan begins with a thorough, one-to-one consultation. Miss Naji will assess your needs and create a personalised approach, with no obligation to proceed.
