Revitalize Your Skin with Microneedling in Shongweni

How Microneedling Works

A step-by-step look at what happens during your microneedling treatment at our Shongweni clinic.

01

Consultation & Skin Assessment

Every treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment. Roxy evaluates your skin type, concerns, and goals — then tailors the treatment depth and protocol specifically to you.

02

Numbing Cream Applied

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied and left for approximately 20–30 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Most clients experience only mild warmth or pressure.

03

Microneedling Treatment

The Bio Pen Q2 device is passed systematically over the treatment area, creating precise micro-channels in the skin. Depth is adjusted by zone to maximise results safely.

04

Active Serums Infused

Medical-grade serums — including hyaluronic acid, peptides, and growth factors — are applied immediately after needling, penetrating deep into the skin via the open channels for maximum absorption.

05

LED & EMS Therapy

LED light therapy and EMS microcurrent stimulation are applied post-needling to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and further boost collagen synthesis.

06

Aftercare & Home Protocol

Roxy walks you through a simple, effective home care protocol to protect and maximise your results between sessions — and books your next treatment at the optimal interval.

What Microneedling Treats

Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments available — addressing a wide range of concerns in a single protocol.

Acne Scars

Microneedling breaks down scar tissue and stimulates fresh collagen to fill and smooth depressed acne scars — one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for scarring available.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

By triggering new collagen and elastin production, microneedling visibly plumps and smooths fine lines around the eyes, mouth, forehead and neck — naturally and without injectables.

Enlarged Pores

Increased collagen around pore walls tightens and reduces their appearance — giving skin a smoother, more refined texture overall.

Uneven Skin Texture

Microneedling resurfaces the skin from within — breaking down rough, irregular texture and replacing it with a smoother, more even surface across the entire treated area.

Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage

Combined with targeted serums, microneedling accelerates the turnover of pigmented cells — fading dark spots, sun damage, and post-inflammatory marks over a course of treatments.

Stretch Marks

Microneedling is highly effective on stretch marks — stimulating collagen in the dermis to gradually repair and reduce their appearance on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and other areas.

Who Is Microneedling For?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and a wide range of concerns — here's who benefits most from treatment in Shongweni.

Anyone With Acne Scars

If you've been left with pitted, rolling, or boxcar acne scars, microneedling is one of the most proven treatments to visibly reduce their appearance over a course of sessions.

30s–50s Looking to Rejuvenate

As natural collagen production slows from your 30s, microneedling is a powerful way to stimulate it again — reducing fine lines and restoring a more youthful skin quality.

Darker Skin Tones

Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling is safe and effective across all skin tones — including darker skin types that can be at risk of hyperpigmentation from heat-based treatments.

Anyone Wanting Better Skin Texture

You don't need a specific skin problem to benefit — many clients simply want smoother, more radiant, more even skin. Microneedling delivers exactly that.

What to Expect — Before, During & After

A clear, honest timeline of what your microneedling journey looks like at our Shongweni clinic.

Before

Your Free Consultation

Roxy assesses your skin, discusses your concerns and goals, confirms suitability, and designs your personalised treatment plan. No obligation, no pressure — just honest advice.

Treatment Day

Your Session

Arrive with clean skin. Numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes. The treatment itself takes approximately 45–60 minutes. You'll leave with some redness — similar to a mild sunburn.

24–48 Hours

Initial Recovery

Redness and mild sensitivity are normal and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Avoid makeup, harsh products, sun exposure, sweating, and swimming during this period.

Week 1–2

Skin Starts to Glow

As your skin heals and cell turnover is stimulated, you'll notice an initial radiance and improved texture. Some minor flaking is normal as the skin renews — this is the treatment working.

Week 4–6

Visible Results Deepen

New collagen formation takes 4–6 weeks to become fully visible. This is when you'll notice the most significant improvement in acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin quality.

After 3–6 Sessions

Cumulative, Lasting Results

Each session builds on the last. After a full course of 3–6 treatments, results are significantly more pronounced — and with proper maintenance, your skin continues to improve over the months that follow.

Aftercare — Do's & Don'ts

Following the right aftercare is essential to protect your skin and maximise your microneedling results in Shongweni.

✓ Do

Use Gentle Cleanser

Cleanse with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser for the first 48–72 hours. Avoid anything active or foaming.

✓ Do

Apply SPF Daily

Sun protection is non-negotiable after microneedling. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning — even on cloudy days.

✓ Do

Keep Skin Hydrated

Use the hyaluronic acid serum and moisturiser recommended by Roxy to keep your healing skin nourished and calm.

✓ Do

Drink Plenty of Water

Hydration supports your skin's healing response from the inside. Keep water intake up in the days following treatment.

✗ Don't

Avoid Makeup for 24hrs

Keep skin bare for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Applying makeup too soon can introduce bacteria into open micro-channels.

✗ Don't

Avoid Active Ingredients

No retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliants for at least 5–7 days. These can irritate sensitised post-treatment skin.

✗ Don't

Avoid Sun Exposure

Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid sunbeds for at least a week after treatment. Your skin is more vulnerable to UV damage during healing.

✗ Don't

Avoid Sweating & Swimming

No gym, saunas, steam rooms, or swimming pools for 48 hours post-treatment — heat, sweat, and chlorine can irritate healing skin and increase infection risk.
