At Bond Street, every Microneedling treatment begins with a mandatory, thorough consultation with our clinical team. Your practitioner assesses your skin health and overall well-being to develop an evidence-informed, personalised plan tailored to your concerns and goals.

We offer Microneedling as a non-surgical treatment option designed to support the management of textural concerns and the visible signs of skin ageing. Our evidence-informed approach supports concerns such as fine lines, texture irregularities, and the appearance of scarring. Whether you’re seeking support for textural changes or general skin integrity, your practitioner will guide you through each stage of your treatment journey.

Our focus is holistic and medically guided, ensuring your treatment plan can evolve over time as your skin changes.

microneedling preparation

The Microneedling procedure involves the controlled use of fine, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the upper layers of the skin. This controlled process is performed by a trained practitioner and aims to support the skin’s natural renewal process, addressing concerns such as texture, scarring, and visible signs of ageing. The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes and is performed with the aim of achieving patient comfort.
