Microneedling in Birmingham
At a Glance
Microneedling is a medical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance long-term skin health through targeted collagen stimulation.
At Dermoperfection in The Mailbox, Birmingham, microneedling is one of our most versatile and results-driven micro-needling treatments. Performed in a medical environment by experienced practitioners, our advanced techniques revitalise tired and dull skin while supporting the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes.
Why choose microneedling at Dermoperfection?
- Clinician-led treatment in a medical setting
- Minimal downtime with visible skin rejuvenation
- Enhances skin tightening and firmness
- Supports elastin production and cellular turnover
- Improves large pores, uneven texture, and loss of luminosity
- Effective for acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation marks, and ongoing pigmentation issues
Our Birmingham clinic uses the Mesoestetic m.pen[pro], combined with professional-grade solutions containing Hyaluronic Acid, peptides, and growth factors, to deliver results far beyond what at-home microneedling rollers can achieve. We are recognised as skin microneedling experts, offering treatments aligned precisely with your individual treatment goals.
Microneedling: What You Need to Know
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-channels at precise tissue depths within the skin. This process activates the skin’s natural healing response, leading to enhanced collagen stimulation, elastin production, and improved absorption of active ingredients.
At Dermoperfection Birmingham, we combine medical-grade microneedling with clinically proven Mesoestetic serums, including formulations enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and growth factors, to target fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, acne scarring, pigmentation issues, and overall skin quality.
This treatment is ideal for patients seeking natural-looking skin renewal in a controlled medical environment, without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
Who Is Microneedling Best For?
Microneedling is ideal for patients who want to improve overall skin quality rather than alter facial shape or add volume. It is particularly suitable for those concerned with:
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Acne scarring and post-acne texture
- Enlarged or large pores
- Pigmentation marks and uneven skin tone
- Sun damage and pigmentation issues
- Tired and dull skin lacking vitality
- Patients seeking visible results with minimal downtime
Suitability is assessed during consultation, allowing treatment depth and protocols to be fully tailored to your skin condition and personal treatment goals.

How the Microneedling Treatment Works
Microneedling works through two key mechanisms:
1. Collagen & Elastin Stimulation
Controlled micro-injuries activate the skin’s natural wound-healing response, increasing collagen stimulation and elastin production to improve firmness, elasticity, and structure over time.
2. Enhanced Absorption
The micro-channels created during treatment significantly increase penetration of active ingredients—up to 200–1000 times—maximising results.
At Dermoperfection Birmingham, we pair the m.pen[pro] with Mesoestetic c.prof serums, including:
- Depigmentation solutions for pigmentation issues
- Photoageing formulas for fine lines and sun damage
- Mesotox solutions to complement anti-wrinkle treatments
- Mesopeptides and growth factors for mature or lax skin
- Draining and firming solutions for body areas
- Skinmark solutions for stretch marks and acne scarring
- Hair revitalisation solutions for scalp health
Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate combination based on your skin and treatment goals.
What Concerns Microneedling Helps With
Microneedling at our Birmingham clinic is highly effective for improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged and large pores
- Acne scars and residual marks
- Hyperpigmentation and pigmentation issues
- Sun-damaged skin
- Skin laxity and crepey texture
- Mild stretch marks
- Dullness and loss of radiance
Because microneedling promotes collagen stimulation and elastin production, it offers long-term skin strengthening and gentle tightening.
Treatments can also be combined with skin boosters, chemical peels, or other targeted therapies as part of a personalised plan.
How Microneedling Compares to Other Skin Treatments
Unlike lasers or chemical peels, microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural repair mechanisms without heat or surface removal.
Compared to laser treatments, microneedling:
- Does not rely on heat
- Is suitable for a wider range of skin tones
- Involves less downtime
Compared to chemical peels, microneedling:
- Works at deeper skin levels
- Improves collagen production progressively
- Strengthens skin structure rather than exfoliating alone
This makes microneedling ideal for gradual, natural-looking skin improvement.
Treatment Areas
Microneedling in our Birmingham clinic can be performed on:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Stomach
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Scalp (for hair rejuvenation)
From acne scarring and pigmentation marks to body stretch marks and scalp concerns, microneedling delivers visible, long-term improvement.

Read our FAQ's about Microneedling
We want to make sure you have all the information that you need before your treatment. If you have any questions that aren’t covered, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
What is Mesoestetic Microneedling?
Also known as collagen induction therapy or skin needling, microneedling involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles.
How does Mesoestetic Microneedling work?
Microneedling causes controlled trauma to the skin, stimulating the natural wound healing process as a response to microdamage, which makes the skin feel firmer and tighter. This also creates microchannels to allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper layers of the skin.
What are c.prof solutions?
C.prof solutions are cocktails of active substances, with each vial containing the optimal amount of ingredients to achieve your desired results. This works perfectly with the m.pen[pro] device used during this treatment.
What does Mesoestetic Microneedling treat?
The solutions are tailored to treat a variety of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, surgical scars, sagging skin, cellulite, stretch marks and even hair loss!
How often will I need a Microneedling treatment?
To see optimum results from microneedling, it’s recommended that you undergo 3-6 treatments, with each treatment being 2-4 weeks apart. It can take up to 8 weeks to see the optimal results from microneedling.
Does Microneedling hurt?
We use a topical local anaesthetic, in order for any discomfort to be minimised. You may still feel a slight pain when we treat more sensitive areas, such as the brow area and upper lip.
Is Mesoestetic Microneedling safe?
All the treatments we offer are very safe, especially as you will be treated by one of our medical professionals who have plenty of experience.
How long is the downtime?
Redness usually settles within 24 to 48 hours. You can return to normal activities straight away.
Who is the right candidate for Mesoestetic Microneedling?
Mesoestetic Microneedling is a versatile treatment that works across a range of skin types, tones and conditions! However, there may be a few instances in which this treatment isn’t suitable, such as if you have active acne, severe rosacea or certain inflammatory conditions, as well as if you take certain medications.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from a course of 3 to 6 sessions, depending on their skin concerns.
Are there any side effects from Microneedling?
Your skin may appear red in the first couple of hours following treatment, with some minor bleeding or bruising possible. The area may also feel warm, dry or tight following treatment, and you may experience some flaking, but this should subside shortly after.
What sort of aftercare is there for microneedling?
