Improve texture, scars and fine lines with microneedling in Oxford. Doctor led, medical grade treatment stimulating collagen for smoother, clearer and healthier skin.
Microneedling Treatment Overview
Microneedling is a highly effective skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen production, improves texture and enhances overall skin quality. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford, microneedling is performed within our doctor led environment to ensure optimal safety, comfort and results. The treatment is suitable for a wide range of concerns including fine lines, acne scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores and uneven texture.
By creating controlled microchannels in the skin, microneedling activates the skin’s natural healing response. This boosts collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother and healthier looking skin over time. It is a versatile solution that can be adapted for multiple areas such as the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
Dr Mattia oversees microneedling protocols at Cannelle to ensure each patient receives a tailored plan based on their skin condition and goals. Whether you want to brighten dull skin, soften scars, improve texture or enhance elasticity, microneedling offers a natural, progressive and long lasting improvement.
Microneedling works by using a medical grade device equipped with fine needles that create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These microchannels trigger a wound healing response without causing damage to the surrounding tissue. As the skin repairs itself, it produces fresh collagen and elastin, which are essential for firmness, elasticity and smoothness.
The treatment improves:
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing procedures, microneedling maintains the integrity of the epidermis while stimulating deep collagen remodelling. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, clearer and more radiant. Because the process is mechanical rather than heat based, it is safe for most skin types and can be repeated regularly for cumulative benefit.
Microneedling can also enhance the absorption of targeted serums and active ingredients, making it a powerful treatment when combined with hydrating or regenerative skincare.
Microneedling provides a natural and effective way to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen, improving texture and restoring a smoother, healthier appearance. It softens fine lines, reduces acne scarring, refines pore size and enhances overall radiance without the need for aggressive resurfacing or downtime. As the skin heals and regenerates, it becomes firmer, more even and noticeably brighter. Because microneedling works with the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, the results are subtle, progressive and long lasting, offering a refreshed and youthful glow that looks entirely natural.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin’s condition, concerns and suitability for microneedling. A topical numbing cream can be applied for comfort. The microneedling device is passed gently across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels. You may feel a mild prickling or pressure sensation, but most patients find the treatment comfortable.
The appointment typically takes forty five to sixty minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and whether serums or add ons are included. The skin may appear warm or flushed immediately afterwards, similar to a mild sunburn.
Your skin will feel warm and slightly sensitive after treatment. Redness is common and usually settles within twenty four to forty eight hours. Light flaking can occur as the skin renews itself, particularly if you are addressing texture or pigmentation.
Following microneedling, redness and mild sensitivity are expected during the first day or two as the skin begins to heal. Over the first week, improvements in texture and radiance become more noticeable as regeneration continues. Collagen production increases over the next several weeks, with most patients seeing the full benefit between four and six weeks. Repeated sessions can build on these results to achieve more significant improvements in firmness and clarity.
After microneedling, it is important to keep the skin clean and avoid makeup for at least twenty four hours. Avoid touching or picking at the skin, and stay away from intense exercise for twenty four hours to minimise heat and sweat on the treated area. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, retinoids and exfoliating acids for several days. Applying SPF daily is essential to protect the skin while it heals and to maintain long term results. Hydrating serums and gentle skincare can be resumed the following day unless advised otherwise.

I had two waxings and a biofacial today. Holly was excellent, knowledgeable, and impeccable in her attention. The products also felt really lovely – the hot wax was painless and the facial products felt luxurious. The whole experience was the best I’ve ever had. Will come back.
I go to Cannelle for facials, manicures and pedicures. They are professional, skilled, and attentive to my needs. It’s a lovely and relaxing environment. Mursal gives such wonderful treatments. She is very knowledgable about skin care and very gentle in the application of the products. I see her every 6 weeks for a facial and my skin has never looked better.
Patients often choose microneedling because it offers a natural solution to common concerns such as fine lines, scarring and uneven texture. A typical journey begins with an initial session to stimulate collagen production, followed by additional treatments every four to six weeks depending on the severity of the concern.
Some patients choose microneedling as part of a structured skin improvement plan, alongside treatments such as chemical peels, Hydrafacial, polynucleotides or skin boosters. Over time, consistent treatment leads to cumulatively smoother, brighter and firmer skin. Dr Mattia will recommend a personalised pathway to achieve the best results for your skin type and goals.
We offer flexible treatment levels designed to improve skin texture, support collagen renewal and target specific concerns such as scarring or fine lines.
