Microneedling
Raffine Automatic Microneedling
Microneedling at Medipro Clinics uses the advanced Raffine automatic microneedling device to stimulate your skin's natural production of collagen and elastin. This controlled micro-injury technique triggers the body's wound healing response, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Medical microneedling has been shown to be more effective than laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels for many skin concerns. The electronic device creates thousands of tiny punctures in the skin at a precisely controlled depth, encouraging powerful regeneration from within without the extended downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
Treatable Conditions
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns across the face and body.

Skin Scars
Remodels scar tissue from surgery, injury, or other causes for a smoother skin surface.
Alopecia
Stimulates hair follicles and improves blood flow to the scalp to encourage hair regrowth.
Enlarged Pores
Tightens and refines pore size by increasing collagen around the pore structure.
Hyperpigmentation
Breaks up excess melanin deposits and encourages even skin tone through cellular turnover.
Skin Rejuvenation & Face Lifting
Improves overall skin texture, tone, and firmness for a naturally lifted, refreshed appearance.
Cellulite & Stretch Marks

How the Treatment Works
Your microneedling session at Medipro Clinics is a straightforward procedure designed for your comfort and safety. The entire treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish.
The Procedure
We begin by applying a topical numbing cream to the treatment area, which is left on for approximately 20 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once the skin is fully numbed, your practitioner uses the Raffine electronic microneedling device to create controlled micro-punctures across the treatment area. Following the needling, healing creams and SPF 50 sun protection are applied to soothe and protect the skin.
Recovery & Results
After treatment, your skin will appear red, similar to mild sunburn. This redness typically subsides within 24 hours, and most clients find their skin has fully recovered by day 3. Results develop progressively as new collagen forms over the following weeks, with optimal improvements visible after a course of treatments.
Microneedling with Exosomes
We now offer Microneedling with Exosomes — a next-generation treatment that combines microneedling with exosome technology for enhanced skin rejuvenation. Exosomes are powerful cell-signalling molecules that accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and deliver superior results compared to traditional microneedling alone.
Pricing
Microneedling with Exosomes is £250 per session, with a course of 4 sessions available for £950. A course of treatments is recommended for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
A topical numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes before the treatment to minimise any discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibrating feeling across the skin. The procedure is very well tolerated, and your practitioner will adjust the needle depth to suit your comfort level.
The number of sessions depends on your specific skin concern. For general skin rejuvenation, 3 sessions may be sufficient. For deeper concerns such as acne scarring or stretch marks, a course of 4 to 6 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow for full collagen regeneration between treatments.
Downtime is minimal. Your skin will appear red for approximately 24 hours after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. By day 3, most clients have fully recovered. You should avoid direct sun exposure, heavy exercise, and active skincare products for 48 hours after treatment. SPF 50 should be worn daily during the healing period.
Professional medical microneedling uses an electronic device that creates precise, consistent micro-punctures at a controlled depth that home dermarollers cannot achieve. The Raffine device used at Medipro Clinics penetrates deeper into the skin, triggering a more significant collagen response. Home rollers typically only affect the very surface of the skin and cannot deliver the same clinical results.
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan. It pairs well with chemical peels, HydraFacial, and topical serums that can be better absorbed into the skin following microneedling. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination for your individual needs during your consultation.
