Microneedling in Chelsea, London
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's own collagen and elastin production. At One Aesthetics Boutique, we use this to soften the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
How it works
A sterile, single-use applicator creates tiny channels in the skin's surface. This stimulates the skin's natural repair process, gradually improving texture, firmness, and tone over the following weeks. We can add exosomes after your treatment if this is suitable for your skin. Ask about our device options, including standard microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling, at your consultation.

Frequently asked questions
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply numbing cream first, so most people feel pressure and mild discomfort rather than pain.
How many sessions will I need?
Most concerns respond to a course of 3–6 sessions, spaced around a month apart. We will recommend a plan at your consultation.
When will I see results?
Some people notice a difference within a couple of weeks, with fuller results building over 2–3 months as collagen renews.
Is microneedling safe?
Yes, when carried out by a trained practitioner with sterile, single-use needles, which is our standard at every appointment.
What's the difference between microneedling and a chemical peel?
Microneedling creates micro-channels to trigger collagen production, while a peel works on the skin's surface to remove dead skin cells. We sometimes combine approaches depending on your skin.

Is microneedling right for you?
Microneedling suits most skin tones and types, and unlike some laser treatments, it carries a lower risk of pigmentation changes. It isn't suitable during active acne breakouts, active cold sores, or if you're pregnant, and we'll always check this with you first.
More questions
Can microneedling help with stretch marks?
It can help soften the appearance of some stretch marks on the body, though results vary and older, more established stretch marks respond more slowly.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, microneedling is generally considered safe across skin tones because it doesn't rely on targeting pigment, unlike some laser treatments.
Can I have microneedling and dermal filler in the same appointment?
We usually space these out, since both involve the skin's healing response. We'll advise on sequencing at your consultation.
