Skin Microneedling Chelmsford

Skin microneedling uses a medical-grade device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers your body's natural wound-healing response — stimulating collagen and elastin production, increasing cell turnover and improving blood flow.

At AURA by Lara in Chelmsford, we combine microneedling with targeted serums — including peptides, hyaluronic acid and growth factors — that are applied immediately after needling. The micro-channels allow these active ingredients to penetrate far deeper than topical application alone, dramatically increasing their effectiveness.

Skin microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments available:

• Fine lines and early wrinkles • Acne scarring and post-inflammatory marks • Enlarged pores and rough texture • Uneven skin tone and pigmentation • Dull, lacklustre complexion • Stretch marks • Sun damage • Skin laxity and loss of firmness

Results improve with each session as collagen remodelling continues over weeks and months.

Each session begins with a thorough skin assessment and cleanse. A topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.

The microneedling procedure takes approximately 30–45 minutes depending on the treatment area. Active serums are applied during and after needling for maximum absorption.

Afterward, your skin may appear pink or slightly flushed — similar to mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24–48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities the next day.

Professional microneedling uses medical-grade devices with precise, adjustable needle depth control. This allows us to treat at the optimal depth for your specific concern — something at-home derma rollers simply cannot achieve.

At-home rollers also carry a higher risk of infection, uneven results and skin damage. For genuine collagen induction and visible improvement, professional treatment is significantly more effective and safer.
