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 Magherafelt are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down, and also sees clients from Knockcloghrim, Cookstown, Coagh and the surrounding County Derry area. The exact address is sent once your appointment is confirmed.

Why Magherafelt clients choose NUA

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. Magherafelt 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 Magherafelt

Do you offer microneedling to clients in Magherafelt?

Yes. NUA Aesthetic treats clients from across County Derry, including Magherafelt. Treatments are carried out at the private studio in Carryduff, and the address is confirmed when you book.

How is this different from a home derma roller?

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.

How much does microneedling cost?

Pricing is listed openly on this page and is the same for all clients regardless of where they travel from. There is no separate charge for the consultation and no call-out or travel fee for Magherafelt clients.

How do I book microneedling from Magherafelt?

Booking is through the online system, where you can pick a consultation or treatment slot that suits you. Lauren confirms the appointment and sends the studio address. You can also call or message if you would rather talk it through first.

What if microneedling is not right for me?

Then Lauren will say so at the consultation and talk through what would suit your skin better. Being told no is a reasonable outcome of an honest assessment, and it happens regularly.

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.

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.

When will I see results?

Skin looks brighter within about a week, but the real change comes from collagen remodelling, which takes four to six weeks per session and continues improving across the course.

What exactly does microneedling do?

It creates tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin using the FDA-cleared 1NEEDPRO device. This triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen production, improving texture, boosting hydration and enhancing overall skin quality.

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.

Do I need a consultation before microneedling?

Yes. Every treatment includes a consultation so Lauren can assess your skin and confirm the plan is right for you. It is included in the appointment rather than charged separately.
