Microneedling is one of the most effective skin treatments for improving acne scars, fine lines, uneven texture and overall skin health.


At K1 Derma Lab, we provide professional microneedling treatments for clients across East London, including Newham, Barking, Dagenham, Redbridge and surrounding Essex areas.



What is Microneedling?


A collagen-boosting treatment that uses tiny sterile needles to stimulate natural skin repair and regeneration.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin (microneedling vs chemical peels).

These micro-wounds trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to repair and remodel skin tissue.

The procedure is widely used to treat acne scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and surgical scars. It works by targeting the dermis to promote skin firmness and texture improvement, often enhancing the absorption of topical serums applied during the treatment

Key aspects of microneedling at K1 Derma Lab include:

  • Mechanism: Devices like the Dermapen or SkinPen create thousands of microscopic channels, prompting fibroblasts to produce new structural proteins without damaging the epidermis.
  • Effectiveness: It is often more effective than chemical peels or dermabrasion for scar reduction and is suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones, with a lower risk of pigmentation changes.
  • Recovery: The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes with minimal downtime; patients may experience redness similar to sunburn for 1–3 days.
  • Treatment Course: Most patients require 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
