Boost Your Skin from Within: Why We Love Microneedling
At Rewa Aesthetics, one of our most-loved skin treatments is microneedling (or skin needling). It’s a safe, minimally invasive procedure that works with your skin’s natural healing processes to refresh, rejuvenate, and restore a healthy glow. Here’s why we love it… and why our clients do too.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, involves using a professional device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures are completely safe but stimulate your skin to respond as if it’s healing a minor wound.
Unlike harsh resurfacing treatments, microneedling works from within, activating your body’s own repair mechanisms rather than relying on chemicals or lasers alone.
In-Clinic Treatment: What to Expect
When you come in for a microneedling session at Rewa Aesthetics, here’s how we guide the process:
Consultation:
We start by assessing your skin type, concerns, and suitability for microneedling.
We discuss your goals, expected outcomes, and any precautions.
Preparation:
Your skin is cleansed and prepped.
(note: to at-home prep* will have been completed prior)
Treatment:
Using a sterile microneedling device, we gently roll or stamp over the skin in a controlled pattern.
The depth and speed of the needles are adjusted depending on your skin’s needs and the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Care:
The skin may be red, slightly swollen, or warm immediately after the session. Tthis usually subsides within 24–48 hours.
We provide a soothing serum or mask to support healing and hydration.
Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, SPF protection, and avoiding harsh products while the skin recovers.
The Physiology: How Microneedling Works
Microneedling isn’t just a surface-level treatment, it works deep inside your skin to improve texture, tone, and firmness. Here’s what’s happening physiologically:
Micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production: The tiny needle punctures trigger your body’s natural wound-healing response, boosting collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin strength, elasticity, and youthful appearance.
Enhanced absorption of serums: Micro-channels created by the needles allow active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or growth factor serums, to penetrate more effectively for deeper hydration and nourishment.
Improved blood flow and tissue regeneration: The controlled trauma increases circulation to the treated area, supporting nutrient delivery and faster skin cell turnover.
Scar and pigmentation support: Repeated microneedling sessions can help smooth the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation by encouraging uniform skin regeneration.
Why We Love It
Minimal downtime: Most clients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for a day or two.
Natural results: By working with your body’s own healing mechanisms, microneedling improves skin gradually and naturally.
Customisable: Depth, frequency, and combination with serums can be tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
Versatile: Suitable for the face, neck, décolletage, hands, back, body scars… microneedling supports a wide range of concerns, from fine lines and dullness to acne scarring.
Final Thoughts
Microneedling is a powerful treatment that leverages your skin’s natural healing to improve texture, tone, and resilience. At Rewa Aesthetics, we guide each session carefully, ensuring your skin receives the benefits of this innovative therapy safely and effectively.
*Preparation…
At Rewa Aesthetics, we recommend that clients prepare their skin at home in the weeks leading up to their microneedling treatment. This “skin prep” involves using gentle active ingredients such as lactic acid cleansers, niacinamide creams, vitamin C serums, etc, or other suitable antioxidant and hydrating products. These ingredients help to improve skin texture, tone, and resilience, ensuring your skin is healthy and primed for treatment. Proper prep not only enhances the results of your microneedling session but also supports faster recovery and optimal collagen stimulation. Our team will provide personalised guidance on which products and routines are most suitable for your skin. Always book in for a consultation if you are starting a treatment for the first time, or are very new to all of this!
