MICRONEEDLING / SKIN NEEDLING

At LDS Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Medicine, Microneedling (also known as Skin Needling) is performed using advanced, evidence-based techniques designed to improve skin texture, clarity and overall quality.

This treatment works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, promoting collagen production and enhancing long-term skin health.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Lucas De Siqueira delivers a precise and personalised approach that supports smoother, firmer and more radiant skin, all while preserving your natural beauty.

What Is Microneedling / Skin Needling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.

These tiny, precise micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, microneedling enhances the skin’s structure from within,  improving tone, texture, firmness and overall radiance without compromising the skin barrier.

Texture Renewal

Smooths uneven texture and refines pores for a more polished, radiant complexion.

Collagen Boost

Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production to improve firmness and elasticity.

Clarity Restore

Enhances skin tone, reduces dullness and supports a brighter, healthier appearance.

It is suitable for a wide range of concerns, from dullness and uneven texture to fine lines, enlarged pores and mild scarring.

How Microneedling Works

During microneedling, fine needles create micro-punctures in the skin’s surface.

These micro-channels activate the skin’s natural healing process, increasing cell turnover and encouraging deeper layers to produce collagen and elastin.

This helps:

Improve skin texture

By softening fine lines and smoothing uneven or rough areas.

Support collagen remodelling

For firmer, stronger and more resilient skin.

Enhance tone and clarity

By promoting fresh, healthy skin cells to the surface.
