Treatment programmes usually involve a course of microneedling treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, allowing the skin time to heal and remodel between visits. The number of treatments recommended depends on the concern being addressed and how your skin responds.</p><p> </p><p>As a general guide, I recommend that milder concerns, such as fine lines and early texture changes, typically require 3-4 sessions, moderate concerns, including deeper lines or mild scarring, often benefit from 4-5 sessions, and more established concerns such as significant acne scarring or stretch marks may require 6 or more sessions as part of a longer-term programme. Each treatment builds on the previous one, with improvements developing gradually as new collagen forms. To help maintain results, patients will have maintenance treatments approximately every 6 months, depending on individual skin needs.</p>"}
