Microneedling and Dermaplaning: Why This Combo Is Worth It

Pairing microneedling with dermaplaning in one appointment is one of the most effective ways to genuinely transform your skin's texture. Here's why the combination works so well together.

How the combo works

Dermaplaning first clears away dead skin and peach fuzz, giving a completely clean surface. Microneedling then creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body's natural collagen production and dramatically improving how well your skincare products absorb.

What does it treat?

This combination is brilliant for uneven texture, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and dull skin — because you're clearing the surface and stimulating renewal underneath at the same time.

What's the appointment like?

Expect around 60–90 minutes. A numbing cream is usually applied before microneedling to keep you comfortable, and a calming serum or mask is applied afterwards.

Downtime and results

Expect redness for 24–48 hours, similar to mild sunburn. Full results build over several weeks as new collagen forms, with a course of treatments giving the best long-term results.

Aftercare

SPF is non-negotiable for at least a week afterwards. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, avoid active ingredients like retinol or acids for a few days, and keep skin hydrated.

FAQs

Is microneedling painful?

With numbing cream applied beforehand, most clients describe it as mild pressure or scratching rather than pain.

How much does it cost?

A single combined session is £75, or £190 for a course of 3 sessions.
