What microneedling is
Microneedling uses a pen-like device with very fine, sterile needles to make tiny channels in the skin. Your skin responds by making new collagen and elastin, which gradually smooths texture and softens lines.
Because it works with your skin's own repair process, the results build slowly and look natural.
Where it helps
It's often used for acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture or tone.
It isn't a good fit during an active breakout, rash, or skin infection, so Marley checks your skin before you start.
What to expect
Some redness, sensitivity, or mild swelling is normal for a day or two, a lot like a mild sunburn.
Results develop gradually as your skin makes new collagen, and a series of treatments often gives the best result.
Common questions
Does microneedling hurt?
Numbing cream goes on first, so most people feel pressure and a light scratching rather than pain.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your skin and what you'd like to improve. A series is often recommended, and Marley will suggest a plan at your consultation.
When will I see results?
Your skin often looks brighter within a week or so. Changes in texture and scarring build over the following weeks as new collagen forms.
Is it the same as a home roller?
No. A professional device reaches a controlled depth with sterile needles, and the treatment is matched to your skin.
Can I book during a breakout?
It's best to wait until active acne, irritation, or infection has settled. Let Marley know about any skin changes when you book.
