Microneedling

Microneedling generally involves controlled micro-injuries to the skin surface with a device or stamp. Clinics may combine it with topical products. GPU.Skin describes what the appointment often involves; we do not say it will treat or cure a condition.

Suitability

Whether it is appropriate depends on your history, medicines, skin state on the day, and the practitioner’s assessment. It is not suitable for everyone, including some people who are pregnant, recently tanned, or who have active infection in the area.

Discussion points for a provider

• Who will perform the procedure and what training they have
• What device and needle depth they propose, and why
• Downtime, aftercare, and what you should not apply afterwards
• How many sessions they typically discuss, without guaranteeing an outcome
• Price, consent, and what happens if you need to postpone
