Discover smoother, brighter skin with medical microneedling in Central London
If your skin feels tired, textured or lacking glow, microneedling is one of the most effective and natural ways to restore smoothness and vitality. At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem, our doctor-led microneedling treatments use advanced medical devices to safely stimulate collagen production and renew the skin from within – all in the calm, discreet setting of 120 Pall Mall, serving Mayfair, Westminster and Central London.
This minimally invasive treatment refines pores, reduces fine lines, and helps fade scars and pigmentation without lasers or downtime, making it a favourite among patients seeking a fresh, radiant complexion.
Why patients choose microneedling
As we age, our skin’s collagen and elastin levels naturally decline. This can lead to enlarged pores, uneven tone, fine lines, and a loss of firmness. Microneedling, sometimes known as collagen induction therapy, encourages the skin to repair itself naturally by triggering new collagen production.
Many patients at our Mayfair aesthetic clinic choose microneedling because it delivers visible results – improved texture, refined tone and renewed glow – without changing facial shape or expression. It’s a gentle yet powerful regenerative treatment suitable for most skin types.
What is microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling uses a precision device fitted with fine sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers a healing response that increases collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
At Alcove Aesthetics, all microneedling is performed by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu – BDS, MSc (Aesthetic Medicine), ensuring the highest safety and precision standards. For enhanced results, Dr Goziem often combines microneedling with regenerative serums such as Polynucleotides, Exosomes, or Skin Boosters, depending on your specific concerns.
The microneedling process
- Consultation – A detailed assessment of your skin’s condition, concerns and goals.
- Preparation – Skin is cleansed and numbed with topical anaesthetic for comfort.
- Microneedling – The doctor uses a professional device to create micro-channels evenly across the face or targeted areas.
- Regenerative infusion – A custom serum or growth factor solution may be applied to accelerate healing and maximise glow.
- Aftercare – The skin is soothed with barrier repair products and SPF protection.
