Tobermore, County Derry
Microneedling, Tobermore
People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Tobermore for microneedling because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.
Controlled micro-channels created with an FDA-cleared medical device, triggering a natural healing response that rebuilds collagen and refines texture. Every plan starts with a proper assessment rather than a price list, because the right treatment depends entirely on what your skin is actually doing.
NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Tobermore clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
A nurse-led approach
Consultations are included, unhurried and honest. If microneedling is not the right treatment for your skin, or not the right treatment yet, you will be told so rather than sold something. Several Tobermore clients have left a first appointment with a skincare plan and no treatment booked.
What Microneedling involves
Consultation and prep
Skin is assessed and cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for around twenty minutes before treatment begins.
Treatment
The 1NEEDPRO is passed across the treatment area at a depth chosen for each zone. The treatment itself takes around thirty minutes.
The course
Three treatments spaced four weeks apart. Collagen remodelling is a slow process, so results continue building between sessions.
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
What Tobermore clients want to know about microneedling
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.
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.
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 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 Tobermore clients.
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.
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 Tobermore who would rather not take time off work.
How many treatments will I need?
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.
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 Tobermore clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
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.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Tobermore?
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.
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.
