Microneedling, Carrickfergus

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

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down. It is a private home studio rather than a high street clinic, so the full address is sent on booking confirmation along with parking guidance.

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

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.

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.

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.

Most people benefit from a course of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart, depending on skin concerns and goals. Lauren will recommend a personalised plan at your consultation.

Substantially. A medical device controls needle depth precisely and uses sterile single-use surgical-grade needles. Home rollers tear the skin rather than creating clean channels, cannot control depth, and carry a real infection risk.

Yes, parking is straightforward at the studio, which is one of the practical advantages over a town centre clinic for anyone driving in from Carrickfergus.
