As the skin naturally ages, collagen production gradually slows. This can cause the skin to feel less firm, develop deeper lines, and lose the smooth, refined texture it once had.
The Microneedling Facial is designed to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration process. By creating tiny controlled micro-channels in the skin, this advanced treatment encourages the production of new collagen and elastin — the structural proteins responsible for firm, resilient skin.
As the skin begins to repair itself, texture becomes smoother, pores appear more refined, and the complexion gradually looks firmer and more even. Over time, microneedling helps strengthen the skin from within, supporting long-term improvements in skin quality, firmness and overall appearance.
Performed by Level 4–5 skin specialists at Skinportant Clinic in Southsea, Portsmouth, this treatment forms part of our carefully developed age-based facial system, designed to support the skin through different stages of ageing.
Before the treatment begins, we carefully analyse your skin and discuss the areas you would like us to focus on. This allows the treatment to be tailored to your skin’s current needs and concerns.
We then perform a thorough yet gentle cleanse to remove makeup, impurities and excess oils from the skin. Cleansing is where effective skincare begins, ensuring the skin is perfectly prepared for the advanced stages of the treatment that follow.
Next, we apply a customised enzyme exfoliation tailored to your skin’s needs. This gentle yet effective step helps dissolve the build-up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, revealing a smoother and more refined complexion.
By clearing away this superficial layer, pores appear cleaner, skin texture becomes more even, and the complexion looks fresher and brighter. This preparatory stage also allows the skin to become more receptive to the microneedling treatment that follows, ensuring optimal results from the advanced stages of the facial.
Following the enzyme preparation, we perform microneedling — an advanced treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. Using a professional microneedling device, very fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin.
These tiny channels trigger the skin’s natural repair response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin — the structural proteins responsible for firm, resilient skin.
As the skin begins to regenerate, texture becomes smoother, the complexion appears more even, and fine lines and scars gradually become less visible. Over time, this process helps strengthen the skin from within, leaving it looking firmer, smoother and more refined.
After the microneedling stage, we apply a specialised treatment mask designed to soothe, hydrate and support the skin as it begins its natural repair process. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and collagen, the mask helps replenish moisture, calm the skin and restore comfort.
This deeply hydrating formula forms a light, protective layer on the skin that helps lock in moisture and support the skin’s natural barrier. As hydration levels increase, the skin begins to feel softer, smoother and more supple.
This restorative step helps maximise the rejuvenating effects of microneedling while supporting improved skin elasticity and a more refined complexion.
While the mask works, you can relax with a soothing scalp massage or a gentle hand massage — a calming moment designed to enhance the overall treatment experience.
To complete the treatment, we apply carefully selected finishing products designed to nourish and protect the skin. A lightweight moisturising cream helps seal in hydration and support the skin’s natural barrier, leaving the complexion feeling calm, smooth and comfortable.
The treatment concludes with the application of high-protection SPF, helping shield the skin from environmental stressors and UV exposure. This final step protects the freshly treated skin while maintaining the results of the facial, leaving your complexion looking healthy, refreshed and naturally radiant.
