At Ethos Skin & Laser Clinic, microneedling remains one of our most recommended treatments for improving skin quality, texture and overall skin health.
Why? Because microneedling works with your skin’s natural repair process to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and support long-term skin rejuvenation.
Whether you are concerned with fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores or dullness, our microneedling treatment can be tailored to support a wide range of skin concerns.
If you are looking for professional microneedling in Surrey, our experienced team at Ethos Skin & Laser Clinic offers personalised treatment plans designed around your skin goals.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny, controlled needles to create microchannels within the skin.
These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks for smooth, firm and healthy-looking skin.
As collagen production naturally slows with age, the skin can begin to show:
Microneedling helps support the skin’s natural renewal process, improving overall skin quality from within.
How Does Microneedling Work?
When the skin detects these tiny controlled injuries, it immediately begins repairing itself. This natural response increases circulation, boosts cellular turnover and stimulates fresh collagen production over the following weeks.
This process helps improve:
One of the biggest benefits of microneedling is that results continue to improve over time as collagen production develops.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling offers a wide range of skin benefits, making it one of the most effective treatments for overall skin rejuvenation.
Benefits can include:
At Ethos, we value treatments that create genuine skin confidence rather than temporary quick fixes and microneedling does exactly that.
Can Microneedling Help Acne Scars and Fine Lines?
Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving acne scarring and early signs of ageing.
By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps strengthen the skin’s structure, improving uneven texture and softening the appearance of fine lines over time.
For concerns such as deeper acne scarring or pigmentation, we often recommend a course of treatments for the best results.
Can Microneedling Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Microneedling can work beautifully alongside other advanced skin treatments.
At Ethos Skin & Laser Clinic, we may combine microneedling with:
Because microneedling creates tiny channels within the skin, active ingredients can penetrate more effectively, helping to enhance results and support skin recovery.
Is There Any Downtime After Microneedling?
Microneedling is minimally invasive, but some downtime is normal.
Most clients experience mild redness and warmth immediately after treatment, similar to light sunburn. This usually settles within 24–48 hours.
In the days following treatment, skin often appears:
Collagen production continues over the following weeks, meaning results develop progressively.
This regenerative approach is one reason exosome skin treatment is attracting significant interest within the professional aesthetics industry.

Microneedling FAQs
Everything you need to know about microneedling treatment, downtime, results and skin rejuvenation.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is generally very well tolerated. Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A professional numbing cream can be applied beforehand to help keep the treatment comfortable, particularly on more sensitive areas.
How long does microneedling take to work?
Some clients notice brighter, fresher-looking skin within a few days, but the full benefits of microneedling develop over time. As collagen production increases, improvements in skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality often continue for several weeks after treatment.
How many microneedling sessions do I need?
This depends on your skin concerns and goals. For general skin rejuvenation, a course of 3–6 treatments is often recommended. For concerns such as acne scarring or pigmentation, additional sessions may be advised to achieve the best results.
The best way to understand how many sessions you may need is through a professional microneedling consultation
Is there downtime after microneedling?

Can microneedling help acne scars?
Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective skin treatments for improving the appearance of acne scars. By stimulating collagen production, it helps strengthen the skin and improve texture over time, creating smoother and healthier-looking skin.
Is microneedling suitable for sensitive skin?
