Microneedling at Borciani London
Microneedling is one of our most sought-after treatments, and for good reason. Known for its ability to revitalise skin, improve texture, and address a wide range of concerns, microneedling is a versatile, minimally invasive solution for achieving radiant, youthful skin. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, reduce acne scars, or improve stretch marks, our bespoke microneedling treatments deliver exceptional results.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling involves creating micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. This process triggers collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins for maintaining firm, youthful skin. At Borciani London, we elevate this procedure with advanced serums such as growth factors, polynucleotides, exosomes, whitening mesotherapies, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and NCTF 135HA for maximum results.
Benefits of Microneedling
- Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Promotes collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.
- Improves Scars: Softens the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and can soften self harm scars
- Addresses Stretch Marks: Reduces the depth and colour of stretch marks.
- Treats Hair Loss: Stimulates hair growth and strengthens follicles when paired with PRP or growth factors.
- Enhances Skin Texture: Minimises pores, evens tone, and creates a radiant complexion.
- Fades Pigmentation: Our whitening mesotherapies are perfect for tackling discolouration.
- Glowing Skin: Perfect treatment to have before an event or just to give your skin a refresh.
What happens during the treatment?
During a microneedling session, a trained skincare professional will cleanse your skin and prepare a custom mesotherapy serum to specifically address your concerns.
The microneedling device is then gently rolled over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing process – the mesotherapy solution is implanted in the juntion of the skin that maximises the benefit of the active ingredients. Secondly the action of the microneedling device itself stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.
How to supercharge your microneedling
This is the beauty of microneedling, we have a wide range of solutions to use and will custom blend these on the day so that you get the best outcome possble, we can tackle ageing, acne scars, rosacea, pigmentation, loose skin and even cellulite. We will discuss your requirements on the day and choose the perfect option for you.
We have Exosomes, Polynucleotides, Anteage Growth Factors, PRP, NCTF 135ha and a wide range of RRS mesothery solutions.
Exosomes are tiny bubbles that cells use to communicate and transfer materials like proteins, lipids, and genetic information. When used in skincare, exosomes:
- Cellular Communication: Exosomes contain signaling molecules which help to instruct cells to repair, regenerate, and rejuvenate. This improves cellular turnover and the skin’s natural repair processes.
- Anti-Aging Effects: They boost collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity, and promote a youthful, radiant complexion.
- Wound Healing and Repair: Exosomes enhance the body’s ability to heal wounds and repair skin damage , this makes them highly effective for treating scars, pigmentation, and skin damaged by UV exposure or aging.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Similar to polynucleotides, exosomes also reduce inflammation, which can help soothe irritated or acne-prone skin, leading to an overall smoother and clearer complexion.

Commonly Asked Questions
Is microneedling painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild discomfort rather than pain, it’s very well tolerated and we will apply topical numbing cream for deeper treatments.
What’s the downtime after microneedling?
For light microneedling you will have almost no downtime at all, pink skin for a couple of hours. For deeper treatments you may experience mild redness, similar to a sunburn, for 1-3 days. Some clients may also notice slight flaking or dryness as the skin begins to heal.
What is microneedling wtih RF?
Microneedling can be used in conjunction with Radio Frequency energy which is presented through the needles into the dermis.
What is PRP, and how does it work with microneedling?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and boost results. When combined with microneedling, PRP enhances skin rejuvenation and tissue repair.
Is microneedling safe?
Yes, microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive treatment. We use sterile, disposable needles and adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and care.
Can microneedling help with stretch marks?
This is a great option for stretch marks as we need to increase the collagen and elastin missing from the area, this improves not only the colour of the stretch marks but also the texture of the skin.
Can I microneedle at home?
There are some excellent Microneedling Home Kits available which are a great option between clinical visits. We do advise that you seek out a professional for clinical treatments to avoid any issues such as Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, infection and damage from burred needles.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the condition being treated. For optimal results, we usually recommend a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
When will I see results?
Results become noticeable after the first session, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Full results typically develop after a series of treatments as the collagen and elastin builds in the skin.
