Book ConsultationAbout Microneedling

Controlled micro-channels created with an FDA-cleared medical device, triggering a natural healing response that rebuilds collagen and refines texture. Clients from Annaghmore are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.

Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Annaghmore clients often book alongside neighbours from The Birches and Kilmore, and parking is straightforward.

Serving Annaghmore and the surrounding area

Lauren is a registered Children's Nurse who graduated with First Class Honours from Northumbria University, and holds CIDESCO and ITEC qualifications in beauty therapy. That combination is unusual, and it is why microneedling here is treated as a clinical decision first and a cosmetic one second. Annaghmore clients see the same practitioner at every appointment.

What Microneedling involves

  1. Consultation and prep

    Skin is assessed and cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for around twenty minutes before treatment begins.

  2. Treatment

    The 1NEEDPRO is passed across the treatment area at a depth chosen for each zone. The treatment itself takes around thirty minutes.

  3. The course

    Three treatments spaced four weeks apart. Collagen remodelling is a slow process, so results continue building between sessions.

  4. Maintenance

    Most people maintain with a single session every four to six months once the initial course is complete.

Who it suits

  • Uneven skin texture and roughness
  • Acne scarring and post-inflammatory marking
  • Enlarged or congested pores
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing
  • Sun damage and uneven tone
  • Stretch marks on the body

Microneedling questions, answered for Annaghmore

Will it help with acne scarring?

Yes, it is one of the most effective non-surgical options for rolling and boxcar acne scars. Improvement is gradual and usually needs a full course, but the change in scar depth and skin texture can be significant.

Can I wear make-up afterwards?

Not for 24 hours. The micro-channels need time to close, and applying make-up before then risks irritation and infection. Most people book treatments for a day when that is easy to manage.

Is there downtime and how long do results last?

Downtime is minimal. Expect redness for 24 to 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Results build gradually over several weeks as collagen remodels, and last several months with maintenance every four to six months.

Is microneedling suitable if I have active acne?

Not over actively inflamed or pustular areas, as it can spread bacteria. It is excellent for the scarring left behind once acne is under control. Lauren will assess and may suggest treating the acne first.

Who will carry out my treatment?

Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Annaghmore clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?

Yes. Microneedling sequences well with several other treatments, and Lauren will plan the order so each one has room to work rather than doing everything at once.

Is there any downtime?

Redness for 24 to 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.

What are the appointment times like?

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Annaghmore who would rather not take time off work.

How long do results last?

Results build over weeks and last several months with maintenance. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.

Does microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied for around twenty minutes beforehand, which makes the treatment very tolerable. Most people describe a light vibrating or scratching sensation rather than pain.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It combines excellently with polynucleotides, skin boosters, chemical peels and medical-grade skincare. Adding Calecim exosomes during the treatment amplifies the regenerative response considerably.
