What is Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. It is a non-invasive procedure and can effectively treat fine wrinkles, under-eye bags, hyperpigmentation & puffiness. A microneedling treatment's adaptability makes it useful for patients with a variety of skin tones and skin types. The delicate skin under the eyes can be treated with the microneedle to give the appearance of renewed skin by modifying the depth of absorption of the tiny needles on the dermapen.

Advantages of Microneedling Treatment
Improves Skin Tone
Evens out pigmentation, lightening dark circles and brightening the overall appearance of the eye area.
Minimally Invasive
Microneedling offers a minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation by stimulating natural collagen production.
Reduces Fine Lines
Targets and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin around the eyes.
Skin Tightening
Microneedling firms and tightens loose skin around the eyes, reducing sagging for a more lifted appearance.
→ Tailored treatment – deeper needle penetration may be used for more severe skin conditions.
→ Negligible downtime – minimal swelling and bruising, with most effects subsiding within a few days.
→ Unrivalled expertise – performed by a leading oculoplastic surgeon's trained team.
How Does Microneedling Treatment Work?
Under eye microneedling involves the use of tiny needles to penetrate the skin under the eyes. These small punctures create controlled injury, triggering the body’s natural repair process and promoting the generation of new skin cells to reduce under-eye darkness.
This treatment is nearly painless, as a local anaesthetic is applied to the area about 45 minutes beforehand. For optimal results, it is recommended to have a minimum of three microneedling sessions spaced about six weeks apart. It has been proven that microneedling for under-eye hollows is both safe and effective, resulting in improved skin texture as the collagen formation process is initiated.

Patient Questions About Microneedling Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Is microneedling beneficial to the eyes?
Microneedling will brighten the whole area around the eyes and reduce shadows by restoring volume. Microneedling can reduce fine lines and wrinkles while tightening and smoothing the under eye area.
How long do microneedling treatment results last?
All skin types can benefit from microneedling around the eyes, and although results may vary, skin rejuvenation can be apparent after just six weeks and continue to improve for up to a year or more.
What side effects might microneedling under the eyes have?
When using microneedling, there are a few transient adverse effects to be mindful of. Short-term side effects from the procedure include skin peeling, redness, & swelling that may persist for several days. After treatment, the majority of patients are able to resume wearing their usual makeup.
Is microneedling treatment painful?
Despite not being painful, microneedling treatments may cause discomfort, especially for those who are needle-phobic. Through the use of small needlepoints to puncture the dermis, microneedling helps promote the body’s production of collagen and elastin, resulting in skin that appears younger and smoother.
Are the results of microneedling permanent?
Microneedling tightens and rejuvenates ageing skin in a long-term but not permanent way. Results can last up to a year with appropriate maintenance treatments before another comprehensive set of sessions may be necessary.
Patient Reviews
“I had a very positive experience. She provided me with relevant pictures of what to expect post surgery which was very useful. Her post op information was clear and easy to follow. She came across as a very caring and confident practitioner. The outcome she described before surgery was realistic and she skilfully performed this.”
“I would like to express how happy I am with the results of my upper blepharoplasty. My eyes have healed really well and I am already getting compliments on how perfect they look! I would like to thank Mrs Sabrina Shah-Desai for her time, caring attitude and excellent results.”
“I've been wanting to have upper & lower lid surgery for some years. I have hereditary heavy eyelids, tea troughs & also bags under my eyes. I'm constantly told I'm looking tired! I researched a lot of surgeons & finally came across Sabrina Shah-Desai through a recommendation from an aesthetic nurse.”
“I feel that I've found my 'face doctor' and that is as valuable to me as the happiness I feel when I look in the mirror. Thanks too to Abi who was on hand during my recovery. She has a kind and caring nature and was on call the whole time during my recovery to give me the reassurance that I occasionally needed.”
“By far the best experience I have ever had with a doctor! Mrs Shah Desai is so professional, knowledgable and thorough with her approach and at the same time so kind, warm and friendly. I highly recommend her for any kind of surgery in the eye area.... I had a very fast and smooth recovery and I am so pleased with the results!”
“I've had very heavy set eyes for the last 10 years that's aged me and decided that I now wanted to have treatment to help this problem. At consultation with Sabrina I felt confedent about suggested treatment for me. I had Blepharoplasty which was almost pain free and am so happy with my results.”
