What is microneedling?

Microneedling uses a medical-grade device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This supports the skin's natural repair response and helps active products reach the skin more effectively.

At Sarelle Clinic, treatment is performed using the Mesoestetic Axion pen, allowing depth and intensity to be adjusted according to your skin type, treatment area and goals.

Why clients choose microneedling

Microneedling is often chosen by clients looking to support skin quality in a way that feels progressive, structured and skin-focused. It can be used on the face and, when combined with exosomes, may also be used as part of a scalp and hair-support treatment plan.

What can microneedling support?

Microneedling may be suitable for clients concerned about:

  • Uneven skin texture
  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Fine lines and visible skin ageing
  • Enlarged pores
  • Post-acne scarring
  • General skin quality concerns
  • Scalp and hair support when combined with exosomes

Suitability will always be assessed during consultation, as not every treatment is right for every skin type or concern.

What to expect

Typical treatment course

Microneedling is often most effective as a course of treatments.

Initial course: usually 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart

Maintenance: based on your skin goals and response to treatment

Sarah will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your skin and priorities.

1

Consultation

Your skin, concerns and treatment goals are assessed to decide whether microneedling is suitable for you.

2

Treatment day

The skin is prepared and the Mesoestetic Axion pen is used in a controlled way across the chosen treatment area.

3

Recovery

Skin may look pink or feel warm afterwards, rather like mild sun exposure, depending on depth and area treated.

4

Ongoing plan

Results build through a course, with future sessions planned according to skin response and long-term goals.

Downtime

Downtime varies depending on the treatment intensity and area treated. Some redness, sensitivity and mild dryness are common in the short term. Aftercare advice will be provided to help support healing and comfort.
