medical microneedling
Superficial microneedling up to 0.5 mm according to our protocol, and medical microneedling that may exceed 0.5 mm. The aim is to progressively improve skin quality or certain scars according to the indication.
The treatment
What is
medical microneedling?
Microneedling uses a device fitted with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. At the clinic, we distinguish superficial microneedling, performed at a low depth of up to 0.5 mm depending on the area and protocol, from medical microneedling, where depth may exceed 0.5 mm when clinically indicated.
Superficial microneedling primarily aims to improve the overall appearance of the skin, including texture and radiance. In a cosmetic setting, treatment should remain limited to the epidermis.
Medical microneedling acts beyond the epidermis and triggers a controlled skin-repair and tissue-remodelling response. It has been studied in particular for improving the appearance of atrophic acne scars and for certain signs of skin ageing. Results vary according to the indication, depth used, treatment area, skin characteristics and number of sessions.
Depth is always adapted to the area and indication. Temporary redness, sensitivity, mild swelling, dryness or flaking may occur after treatment. A prior assessment is used to select the appropriate protocol and check precautions and contraindications.

How it works
The treatment
process.
Initial Consultation & Penetration Depth Assessment
An initial medical assessment determines whether superficial or medical microneedling is indicated and establishes the appropriate penetration depth. During this check, you must report any ongoing treatments, medical history, pregnancy, active infections or lesions, a tendency toward hypertrophic scarring, or other skin conditions in the target area. Dermo-cosmetic products to discontinue prior to the procedure will be specified individually.
Treatment Procedure & Controlled Micro-perforations
Following thorough skin cleansing and decontamination, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied for the medical protocol. The medical device performs controlled passes with a depth tailored to the area: up to 0.5 mm for superficial care, and exceeding 0.5 mm for medical indications. Active ingredient complexes applied simultaneously are specifically formulated for sterile intradermal use.
Post-Procedure Care, Healing & Protection Guidelines
Following the session, transient erythema (redness), sensitivity, warmth, mild edema, dryness, or flaking may occur. Post-treatment care and broad-spectrum photoprotection are adjusted to the performed protocol. Avoid touching or irritating the skin barrier, and strictly follow the recommendations provided by the clinic.
