The treatment itself: controlled micro-channels created with an FDA-cleared medical device, triggering a natural healing response that rebuilds collagen and refines texture. What that means in practice is discussed at your consultation, in plain terms.

Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Scotch Street clients often book alongside neighbours from Portadown and Collegeland, and parking is straightforward.

Why Scotch Street clients choose NUA

Treatments are carried out in a private home studio rather than a clinic floor, which most Scotch Street clients say is the part they did not expect to value. There is no reception, no overlap with other appointments, and no rush at the end.

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 Scotch Street

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.

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 Scotch Street clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

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.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

Yes, microneedling is generally safe across all skin types when performed with professional equipment. NUA uses the FDA-approved 1NEEDPRO device with surgical-grade needles and a patented anti-contamination system.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
