Transform Your Skin with Microneedling in Southampton
Microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, the vital components of youthful, healthy skin.
This non-surgical method of skin rejuvenation is perfect for people who want to minimise fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scars, balance skin tone and texture, reduce enlarged pores, enhance overall skin radiance, and naturally tighten and firm skin.
At Lumineux Aesthetics Southampton, we deliver tailored, results-driven microneedling treatments using expert care and cutting-edge technology.
The Science Behind Microneedling: How It Works
Microneedling produces controlled micro-injuries using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles, promoting the body’s natural healing process to boost collagen and elastin production. The treatment consists of three stages: the first is the Inflammation Phase, during which tiny microchannels increase blood flow and cell regeneration by stimulating an immune response.
The Proliferation Phase follows, when new collagen-rich tissue grows, plumping and strengthening the skin while minimising wrinkles and scars. Finally, the Remodelling Phase refines and strengthens the skin over weeks, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion.
Skin Concerns Microneedling Can Treat
Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments available, suitable for a wide range of skin concerns. At our Southampton clinic, clients book imedpen® microneedling to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: around the eyes, forehead and mouth
- Acne scars: pitted (atrophic) scars and post-acne pigmentation
- Enlarged pores: smoother, more refined skin texture
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation: sun damage and melasma
- Stretch marks: on the stomach, thighs, hips and arms
- Dull or tired-looking skin: restores radiance and glow
- Loss of firmness: naturally tightens skin on the face, neck and décolletage
- Surgical or injury scars: soften their appearance over time
During your free consultation, we’ll assess your skin and recommend whether microneedling alone or combined with treatments such as PRP, polynucleotides, or LED light therapy is right for you.

Getting the Most Out of Your Microneeding Treatment
Before Your Treatment
To ensure the best possible results, we recommend the following preparation guidelines:
- 5 to 7 days before your session, stay away from retinoids, exfoliating acids, and active skincare products.
- Avoid tanning beds and direct sunlight for at least a week before.
- Before your session, make sure your skin is hydrated by drinking lots of water.
- Make sure your face is clean and free of makeup when you arrive at your appointment.
- If you have a history of skin issues or are currently taking any medication, be sure to let us know.
After Your Treatment
Post-treatment care is essential for achieving optimal results. We recommend following these aftercare guidelines:
- Your skin may appear slightly red and be sensitive for up to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn – apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks.
- Use a gentle, hydrating serum and avoid exfoliants, acids, and retinoids for at least one week.
- Allow your skin to breathe and heal before applying any makeup for at least 24 hours.
- Drink lots of water to support skin regeneration and healing.
- Stay away from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 48 hours to reduce inflammation and irritation.

Hydra H6 Nano-Infusion
For an extra glow, we can pair your microneedling with the Hydra H6 (Dr Pen H6). This serum-infusion pen needles and feeds active serums into the skin simultaneously. It works beautifully as an add-on to a microneedling package, or as a standalone treatment to refresh and brighten your skin before a special event.
The H6 uses a dual-cartridge system with an automated, adjustable depth and ultra-fine nano needles, so we can treat areas that traditional microneedling can’t safely reach. The most popular use is around the delicate eye area, where the skin is as thin as 0.2mm. Rather than staying on the orbital rim, the nano needles let us gently infuse mesotherapy serums (including polynucleotides) across the under-eye to help tighten, brighten and smooth.
Why clients love it:
- Targets the eye area: infuses brightening and tightening actives where the skin is too thin to microneedle
- Comfortable: the nano needles are very gentle, with minimal sensation
Minimal downtime: perfect as a quick pre-event “glow up” - Better serum absorption: active serums are delivered evenly into the skin as it’s treated
- Versatile: add it to a microneedling session or book it on its own

Advanced Microneedling FAQs
imedpen® microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin health.
The number of sessions varies based on your skin concerns. Many patients see noticeable improvements after three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalised treatment plan for optimal results.
Yes, imedpen® is designed to be safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Unlike some laser treatments, it minimises the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it a great option for a diverse range of skin tones.
Microneedling requires minimal downtime. Most people experience redness and mild sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours. After this, the skin begins to heal, and regular activities can typically start again. Following post-treatment care, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and using gentle skincare, helps ensure optimal results.
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Some patients notice a glow within a few days, but the most significant improvements appear over the next four to six weeks, with continued enhancements over several months.
The results of microneedling can last several months to a year, depending on individual skin concerns, lifestyle, and skincare routine. As the treatment promotes natural collagen production, improvements continue over time. It is advised to undergo a series of initial treatments followed by recurring maintenance sessions every 4-6 months to retain the best possible outcomes.
Unlike laser treatments, imedpen® does not use heat, making it a safer option for all skin types with a lower risk of hyperpigmentation. It also provides deeper collagen stimulation than at-home derma rollers, ensuring better, longer-lasting results.
imedpen® x is a medical-grade device with adjustable needle depths from 0.25mm to 2.5mm and over 220 microchannels per second, which is far more precise and effective than at-home dermarollers, which only reach the surface of the skin. The depth control also means we can tailor each treatment to specific concerns (deep acne scars need a different depth than fine lines), something cheaper pens simply can’t do.
