Microneedling for Skin Repair, Texture & Strength

Collagen activation through clinical calm — no fillers, just skin healing from within.

Microneedling is a scientifically backed skin therapy that stimulates the skin’s natural repair process by creating controlled micro-injuries using ultra-fine needles. This precise approach encourages collagen and elastin production, helping to smooth texture, minimise the appearance of scars, soften fine lines, and reduce pore visibility over time.

Ideal for clients seeking long-term skin health, microneedling supports barrier resilience and dermal regeneration without unnecessary stimulation. It’s not a trend — it’s a therapeutic strategy for skin that needs strengthening, not masking.

Microneedling

Refine texture. Restore strength.

Microneedling is a clinically precise, 45-minute skin regeneration treatment that uses ultrafine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and resilience — with visible clarity and smoothness emerging in the weeks that follow.

  • At DermaBalance, microneedling is performed using a professional-grade pen device and paired with hydrating hyaluronic acid to support healing. The process strengthens the skin’s structure, fades post-acne marks, and improves elasticity over time — all with minimal downtime and high-impact results.

  • Microneedling may be the right choice if you’re looking to:

    • Improve skin texture or tone irregularities

    • Minimise early fine lines or mild wrinkles

    • Fade post-acne pigmentation or shallow scarring

    • Refine large or visible pores

    • Boost overall firmness, glow, and hydration

    • Begin a deeper, regenerative skin health journey

    • Stimulates collagen + elastin for long-term firmness

    • Softens surface-level scarring and textural roughness

  • “I noticed a big difference in my acne scars after just two sessions. My skin is smoother and glows more.”
    — Rachel

    “It wasn’t painful, and the redness faded fast. A few days later my skin felt tighter and looked healthier.”
    — Georgia

  • Does it hurt?
    Mild discomfort is possible, but numbing cream can be used to make the process virtually painless.

    When can I wear makeup again?
    You’ll want to wait 24–48 hours — many clients choose to skip it altogether thanks to their post-treatment glow.

    Is this safe for sensitive skin?
    Often yes, with a gentle protocol. We’ll assess your skin first and guide you safely.

    Does it help with acne scars or pigmentation?
    Yes — microneedling is clinically shown to improve superficial scarring and uneven tone over a course of treatments.

    How often should I book it?
    Every 2–4 weeks for a series of 3–6 sessions is ideal. We’ll create your bespoke plan.

Mesotherapy

Bio-infused renewal beneath the surface.

This 45-minute mesotherapy facial uses precision microneedling to deliver a potent infusion of regenerative actives directly into the skin’s deeper layers. Each session is tailored with a bespoke blend — from peptides to polynucleotides — to nourish, repair, and visibly revitalise your complexion at its source.

  • Mesotherapy combines microneedling with targeted skin nutrition. At DermaBalance, we use superfine needles to create microchannels in the epidermis, allowing customised serums — rich in vitamins, peptides, growth factors, and polynucleotides — to penetrate more deeply. This dual approach accelerates collagen production while feeding the skin from within, resulting in firmer, clearer, and more radiant skin over time.

  • Ideal for anyone seeking multidimensional skin repair and radiance:

    • Uneven tone, dullness or pigmentation

    • Fine lines, mild laxity or loss of elasticity

    • Post-acne marks or stressed skin

    • Hydration and glow restoration

    • Early signs of ageing

    • Skin regeneration after illness, stress, or overexposure

    • Infuses the skin with high-potency bioactives

    • Strengthens skin integrity and resilience

    • Softens fine lines and improves skin firmness

    • Hydrates deeply without heaviness

    • Tailored to your skin’s changing needs

  • Each step is designed to support absorption, healing, and cellular renewal:

    • Skin prep + cleanse: Gentle exfoliation and skin assessment

    • Numbing (optional): For enhanced comfort

    • Microneedling infusion: Creates micro-channels for enhanced serum delivery

    • Bespoke serum blend: Can include hyaluronic acid, growth factors, PDRN, peptides, glutathione, DMAE, and more

    • Soothing mask or LED therapy (optional): To calm the skin and enhance post-treatment glow

    — Melissa

    “My pigmentation was so stubborn, but the mesotherapy helped fade it and gave me back my confidence.”
    — Laura

  • What’s the difference between microneedling and mesotherapy?
    Microneedling stimulates collagen through controlled injury. Mesotherapy combines this with targeted infusion of actives — turning the skin into a sponge for potent ingredients.

    Discomfort is minimal and easily managed with a topical numbing cream.

    What ingredients might be included?
    Your bespoke blend may feature:

    • Polynucleotides (PDRN) – cellular regeneration

    • Glutathione – pigment modulation and antioxidant support

    • DMAE – skin tightening

    • Hyaluronic acid – hydration and plumping

    • Peptides & growth factors – repair and firming

    • Exosomes – for advanced healing and glow

    How many sessions do I need?
    We suggest 4–6 spaced 2–4 weeks apart for the best results.

    Can I pair this with other treatments?
    Yes — it complements LED therapy, DB Peels, and Hydro Facials. Your skin strategist will guide your personalised pathway.

Mesotox

Precision-smooth skin, no frozen expression.

MesoTox is a 45-minute precision treatment that blends the surface-perfecting benefits of mesotherapy with a microdose of Botulinum Toxin. Applied just beneath the skin—not into the muscles—this ultra-targeted infusion reduces pore size, balances oil production, softens fine lines, and creates a luminous, airbrushed finish. Natural movement stays intact. Your skin, only smoother.

Every 3–4 months

None to mild redness
(resolves in a few hours)

Every 3–4 months for maintenance

Within 5–7 days, with peak glow at 10–14 days

  • Unlike traditional Botox which targets facial muscles, MesoTox is delivered superficially via microneedling or nano-infusion to treat the skin itself. A bespoke blend of vitamins, peptides, polynucleotides and a diluted Botulinum Toxin layer is gently pressed into the upper dermis to refine texture, reduce shine, and visibly smooth without compromising expression. Please note: a prescriber consultation is legally required prior to treatment.

  • MesoTox is ideal for those seeking visible refinement without intensity:

    • Enlarged pores and oily skin

    • Textural irregularities or dull tone

    • Fine lines and surface-level crepiness

    • A ‘glass skin’ effect without overcorrection

    • Clients looking for a non-frozen, polished finish

    • Suitable for most skin types with low downtime

    • Visibly refines skin tone and texture

    • Balances oil production and reduces congestion

    • Softens fine lines and enhances firmness

    • Brightens dull or uneven skin tone

    • Maintains natural facial movement

    • Enhances glow with minimal disruption to your routine

  • Each session is fully customised, but may include:

    • Botulinum Toxin (superficial, not intramuscular)

    • Hyaluronic Acid – for deep hydration and plumping

    • Polynucleotides (PDRN) – supports tissue repair and regeneration

    • DMAE – for subtle firming and lift

    • Glutathione – antioxidant brightening support

    • Exosomes – cellular messengers for glow and repair

    • Growth Factors – to stimulate collagen renewal

    • Amino Acids + Vitamins – skin nutrition at its most targeted

    This formulation is selected and adjusted by your practitioner based on real-time skin feedback.

  • Before your appointment:

    • You must attend a face-to-face consultation with our prescriber

    • Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen for 24 hours prior

    • Stop using acids, retinoids, and active skincare 3–5 days before

    • Ensure your skin is calm — no active breakouts, cold sores or infections

    • Inform us of any recent injectables, health changes or allergies

    This treatment is not suitable if you:

    • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

    • Have an allergy to Botulinum Toxin

    • Are diagnosed with a neuromuscular condition

    • Have active skin infections, wounds or recent facial procedures

    • Have not completed your prescriber consultation

    • Avoid makeup, heat, alcohol and strenuous activity for 24 hours

    • Don’t massage or touch the treated area for 12 hours

    • Use gentle, hydrating skincare only

    • SPF is essential — protect the renewed surface

  • Enhance your results with bespoke add-ons:

    • LED Light Therapy – £20

    • Calecim Exosomes – £25

  • “I looked like I had a filter on my skin — absolutely obsessed with the results.”
    — Lisa, 37

    “The glow is unreal. Pores vanished. No movement was frozen, just fresher.”
    — Nathan, 34

  • Will this freeze my expressions?
    No. MesoTox is delivered only to the superficial skin layer, so your facial movement stays completely natural.

    Do I need a prescription?
    Yes. Botulinum Toxin is a prescription-only medicine. You must see our prescriber in person before treatment.

    When will I see results?
    Initial effects begin around day 5–7, with full results visible by week 2.

    Can I wear makeup afterwards?
    We recommend waiting 24 hours to let the skin settle and absorb the treatment fully.

    Is this a one-off or do I need a course?
    One session delivers visible results, but regular maintenance enhances and prolongs the effect. We’ll guide your best rhythm.
