Collagen Microneedling
Encouraging collagen for healthier skin and graceful ageing.
Collagen microneedling is a treatment designed to support the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes. Using very fine needles, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production and helping to improve skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality over time.
​
At Avena Clinic, microneedling is performed in a considered, personalised way. We recommend pairing the treatment with regenerative exosomes to further support skin repair and resilience, helping the skin recover well and function at its best. This combination offers enhanced results, while still keeping the approach gentle and skin-focused.
Who is this for?
Collagen microneedling may be a good option if you’re looking to improve skin quality and address concerns such as:
-
Fine lines or early signs of skin ageing
-
Acne scarring or other mild textural scarring
-
Uneven skin tone or rough skin texture
-
Enlarged or visible pores
-
Sun damage or areas of hyperpigmentation
-
Dull, tired-looking skin lacking a healthy glow
-
Redness, rosacea or skin that feels less resilient
​
This treatment is particularly well suited if you’re looking for a regenerative approach that supports the skin’s own repair processes, rather than adding volume or altering your natural features.
What you may notice over time:
-
Smoother, more even-looking skin texture
-
Softening of fine lines, pores and the appearance of scars
-
Brighter skin with a healthy, natural glow
-
Improved firmness and elasticity as collagen production is supported
-
Skin that feels stronger, more resilient and better supported​
Your treatment options:
-
Collagen microneedling with serum
Collagen microneedling is combined with a hydrating serum containing pure hyaluronic acid to support the skin during the healing process. This helps maintain hydration, protect the skin barrier and support recovery, leaving the skin looking fresher, calmer and more balanced as it heals.

Collagen microneedling with serum & exosomes (recommended option)
For enhanced results, collagen microneedling can be combined with regenerative exosomes. Exosomes are natural cellular messengers that support skin repair and recovery while encouraging further collagen production. This makes the treatment particularly well suited for those focused on graceful ageing, as well as for sensitive or reactive skin.
By supporting healthy skin function at a cellular level, this combination can also be helpful for concerns such as dark marks, uneven skin tone and scarring. It helps optimise skin renewal, improve resilience and often allows for smoother, faster recovery.
FAQs
How quickly will I see results?
Many patients notice early improvements in skin texture and tone within 1–2 weeks. Results continue to build with each treatment, with fuller collagen support developing around 12 weeks following the initial course.
​
Does it hurt?
No. You may notice a mild prickly or vibrating sensation during treatment, but this is usually well tolerated. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
Is there downtime?
You may experience some redness for 24–48 hours, similar to light sun exposure. Some people also notice temporary dryness or light flaking as the skin renews. These effects are usually short-lived and settle on their own.
​
How long will my results last?
Results typically last 3 months, depending on your skin and ongoing care. For best results, an initial course of 3 treatments, spaced around 4 weeks apart, is usually recommended. Maintenance treatments every 3 months can help support ongoing skin quality and collagen stimulation for graceful ageing.
