The Cosmetier Philosophy

Your Skin's Own

Healing Response.

Professional microneedling is considered to be one of the safest skin treatment procedures available. It can be used on any part of the face and requires very little downtime.

This effective, non-surgical procedure results in your skin looking smoother, plumper and less sun-damaged.

Also called skin needling therapy or collagen induction therapy, it works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing response, causing your skin to tighten and remodel.

"I am extremely happy with the results. The microdermal needling treatment has improved my skin tone. My skin feels softer and tighter and I look younger and fresher."

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that tightens, lifts and rejuvenates your skin, improving fine lines, pore size, under-eye puffiness and scarring. It's considered one of the safest skin treatments available, and works on any part of the face.
How Does it
Work?
The treatment stimulates your skin's own natural healing response with tiny needles, causing it to tighten and remodel itself from within. It's suitable for most skin types, including darker and sensitive skin, and takes up to an hour, with at least 6 weeks between sessions to let your collagen properly regenerate.
Am I a Good Candidate?
If you're looking to soften fine lines, refine pores or improve scarring and skin tone, you're likely a good candidate, whatever your skin type. I'll always assess your skin properly first and build a bespoke plan around what you actually need.
What to Expect
Your skin is numbed with an anaesthetic cream beforehand, so there's minimal discomfort, though some redness and dryness for up to 24 hours afterwards is normal, and I'll send you home with aftercare products to support healing. Results build gradually, with effects visible from around 2 weeks and continuing to improve up to 6–8 weeks later.

A Treatment Built Around You

Professional microneedling is considered to be one of the safest skin treatment procedures available. It can be used on any part of the face and requires very little downtime.

This effective, non-surgical procedure results in your skin looking smoother, plumper and less sun-damaged.

Also called skin needling therapy or collagen induction therapy, it works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing response, causing your skin to tighten and remodel.

It is suitable for most skin types, including darker and sensitive skins. The treatment takes up to an hour with a minimum of 6 weeks between each treatment so the collagen can regenerate and your skin can rejuvenate fully.

Effects may be seen in as little as 2 weeks and up to 6-8 weeks after, depending on your unique skin type and its response.

Microneedling is a well-tolerated and safe treatment. Your skin will be anaesthetised with a cream 30 minutes before your treatment, meaning that you have minimal or no discomfort during your treatment.

Post-treatment, you can expect some redness and dryness. This is normal after treatment and may last for up to 24 hours depending on the depth of penetration of the needles. You are provided with aftercare serum and cream which soothe and support your healing process.

The number of treatments required will depend on your individual skin condition and needs.

Dr Sharma will professionally assess your skin and create a bespoke recommendation for you to achieve the best results based on your individual skin and the problems you wish to address.

A note from Rachna: Not every concern needs a filler. Many clients who come to me for lip or cheek filler actually benefit more from a different treatment — or simply from better skincare. I'll always tell you what I genuinely recommend, not just what you came in asking for.
