Microneedling Treatments at Dr Nyla Medispa

Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin, stimulating its natural repair response and the production of new collagen and elastin. At Dr Nyla Medispa, INTRAcel and Morpheus8 combine microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy to target deeper layers of the skin, supporting gradual improvements in texture, firmness, and overall skin quality.

Radiofrequency microneedling can be used to address a range of concerns, including acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, and mild skin laxity. Morpheus8 can be used on both the face and body, while INTRAcel is commonly used to improve skin quality and firmness across the face and neck.

Both Morpheus8 and INTRAcel combine microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, but they use different technologies and can target the skin at different depths. The most appropriate treatment depends on your skin condition, treatment area, and desired outcome. At Dr Nyla Medispa, your practitioner will assess your skin before recommending the most suitable option.

Radiofrequency microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scarring by stimulating collagen production and remodelling within the skin. Treatments such as INTRAcel and Morpheus8 can help improve uneven texture and depressed acne scars, although suitability depends on the type and severity of scarring and whether active acne is present.

Yes. Radiofrequency microneedling combines controlled micro-injuries with thermal energy to stimulate collagen and elastin within the skin. This can gradually improve firmness and skin quality in areas affected by mild laxity. For more significant loose skin, your practitioner may recommend another skin tightening treatment or a combination approach following clinical assessment.

Microneedling can be used across several areas of the face and body depending on the technology selected. Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, neck, around the mouth, under the eyes, abdomen, arms, and thighs. Treatment depth and settings are adjusted according to the area being treated and your individual skin concerns.

The number of sessions required depends on the treatment selected, your skin condition, and the concern being addressed. Some patients may benefit from a short course of treatments to support progressive collagen remodelling, while others may require a different schedule. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment plan following your consultation.

Some changes in skin texture may become noticeable as the skin recovers, while improvements associated with new collagen production develop more gradually over the following weeks and months. Results vary according to the treatment performed, treatment intensity, skin condition, and individual response.

Downtime varies according to the technology and intensity of treatment. Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness, or mild swelling may occur as the skin recovers. With Morpheus8, these effects are generally short-lived, and most patients can return to normal daily activities relatively quickly. Your practitioner will explain the expected recovery period and provide personalised aftercare advice.

Radiofrequency microneedling is a clinically established treatment and is generally considered safe for suitable patients when performed by appropriately trained professionals. A detailed assessment is important to review your skin, medical history, and suitability before treatment. At Dr Nyla Medispa, treatments are performed within a medically regulated setting under the guidance of Dr Nyla Raja (GMC No. 6057913) and her experienced medical team.

Radiofrequency microneedling can be suitable for a broad range of skin tones because the radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the skin rather than relying on targeting pigment in the same way as some laser technologies. Individual suitability still requires assessment, particularly where there is active inflammation, pigmentation, or another underlying skin condition.
