Treatment overview
Planned around your skin
It may be considered for selected acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, post-acne marks, general skin renewal and selected body concerns.
Acne scarring
Acne scarring is not one single structural problem.
Rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars can differ considerably in depth and structure, while some patients who describe “acne scarring” may actually have pigmentation left behind after acne rather than a structural scar.
At Allure Passions UK, treatment is therefore planned around your skin, treatment area, scar type and tolerance for recovery, rather than applying one standard protocol to every patient.
Microneedling · Allure Passions UK
Treatment overview
What is microneedling?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin.
These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair response.
The resulting process can support collagen remodelling and gradual improvement in selected texture concerns.
Because the needles penetrate the skin, appropriate hygiene, preparation and aftercare are essential.
Concerns
What can microneedling address?
Microneedling may be considered for:
- Acne scarring
- Uneven texture
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Fine lines
- Post-acne marks
- General skin renewal
- Selected body concerns
The treatment approach depends on the specific concern.
Scar types
Why does acne scarring need assessment?
Acne scarring is not one single condition.
Ice-pick scars
These are narrow and deeper.
Boxcar scars
These can have more defined edges and varying depths.
Rolling scars
These tend to produce a more undulating appearance across the skin.
These structures do not necessarily respond identically to the same treatment.
There is also an important distinction between structural acne scars and post-acne pigmentation.
Understanding which change is present helps determine whether microneedling is appropriate or whether another treatment or combination approach would be more suitable.
Comparison
Microneedling vs Morpheus8™
Both treatments involve controlled needle penetration.
The key difference is that Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency energy.
Mechanical
Microneedling
Microneedling alone may be appropriate when the primary objective is controlled skin stimulation and texture improvement without adding radiofrequency energy.
Mechanical + thermal
Morpheus8™
Morpheus8 therefore creates a combined mechanical and thermal treatment response.
The appropriate option depends on the concern, skin condition, treatment area and desired intensity.
Optional
Microneedling with exosomes
The Allure menu includes microneedling with exosomes for the face, face and neck and selected body areas.
Where appropriate, an exosome-based regenerative enhancement can be discussed as part of the treatment protocol.
The product, suitability and proposed treatment pathway should be explained during consultation rather than presenting the add-on as necessary for every patient.
Combining treatments
Can microneedling be combined with BioRePeel?
Microneedling and BioRePeel can address different aspects of skin appearance.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries deeper within the skin, while BioRePeel provides a chemical peel treatment.
A practitioner may therefore consider using them as separate or sequenced treatments within a broader plan.
The combination is not automatically suitable for every skin type.
Appropriate intervals and treatment sequencing are important to avoid unnecessary irritation.
Comfort
What does microneedling feel like?
Numbing may be offered according to the treatment protocol.
During treatment, patients can experience:
- Pressure
- Scratchy sensation
- Prickling
- Localised sensitivity
Redness and sensitivity are common immediate responses.
The exact recovery depends on:
- Treatment depth
- Treatment area
- Skin sensitivity
- Individual response

Before your treatment
Preparation before microneedling
Because microneedling penetrates the skin, preparation is important.
Your practitioner may provide instructions concerning:
- Clean skin
- Active skincare products
- Sun exposure
- Recent aesthetic procedures
- Products to avoid before treatment
The exact preparation depends on the treatment protocol and your skin.
Results
Results & maintenance
Microneedling works through a gradual collagen-remodelling process.
The skin does not necessarily look different immediately because the longer-term response develops over time.
A course may be recommended where the concern is established or involves multiple areas.
Acne scars vary significantly in depth and structure, so improvement cannot be reduced to one universal percentage or timeline.
Sun protection, suitable skincare and follow-up remain important parts of the longer-term treatment journey.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is microneedling invasive?
Because the needles penetrate the skin, appropriate preparation, hygiene and aftercare are important.
Can microneedling treat acne scars?
It may be considered for selected acne scars, but scar type and depth are important.
Is microneedling the same as Morpheus8?
No. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency energy to the needle treatment.
Can microneedling be combined with exosomes?
The Allure treatment menu includes microneedling with exosomes. Suitability should be discussed during consultation.
Can microneedling be combined with BioRePeel?
Potentially, but the treatments should be appropriately sequenced according to the patient’s skin.
How many treatments will I need?
The appropriate number depends on the concern, skin condition, treatment area and desired outcome.
