Microneedling Procedure
At Meyer Clinic, we use amieamed EXCEED, a cutting-edge, clinically proven microneedling device that delivers visible skin improvements with safe, effective treatments and minimal downtime.
In the European Union, EXCEED is MDR-certified for the treatment of facial acne scars, meeting the highest standards for medical device safety and performance.
Whether you are treating acne scars or seeking smoother, younger-looking skin, EXCEED sets a new standard in professional microneedling. The device has an adjustable needle speed of 100 to 150 Hz – faster needle penetration leads to first-rate results and a freely adjustable needle length – scale of 0 to 1.9 mm ensures consistency in needle length settings and adjustable treatment sensitivity. EXCEED delivers low epidermal trauma, low vibration and noise levels, no epidermal ablation or epidermal thickening, and minimal pain and patient downtime.
Advanced microneedling devices stimulate the production of new collagen and new skin cells, plumping the skin and making it fresher and smoother. At Meyer Clinic we combine microneedling with Exosome treatment and with Polynucleotides, to support regeneration and optimise treatment, offering a less invasive way to enable penetration of both these sliders.
They work by penetrating the skin with thin needles, creating minute wounds in the deeper dermis that trigger the skin’s healing process. This naturally stimulates the creation of new collagen to help tighten, plump, and lift the skin. It helps in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and large pores, minimising stretchmarks, and several types of skin scars as well as improving skin texture and tone.
The treatment also improves the penetration of creams, gels, and oils on the skin, ensuring that skin products can penetrate the skin more effectively resulting in healthier and smoother complexion. While the face, decolletage and hands are usually treated with the microneedling procedure, the treatment can be carried out on any area of the body.

The Benefits of a Professional Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling therapy is a minimally invasive aesthetic dermatology approach, which means clients who undergo microneedling do so to achieve rapid improvements in collagen production, reduce stretch marks, and improve acne scars and other skin conditions.
There are multiple reasons we may recommend microneedling in favour of other treatments, particularly for clients keen to avoid harsh chemicals:
- Microneedling does not carry any risk of discolouring the skin, unlike some alternative techniques, such as laser therapy or those involving light and heat, which are not suitable for addressing skin concerns for clients with darker skin. Microneedling is safe for all, including clients with darker skin tones.
- Each treatment is tailored specifically to you, and the Meyer Clinic team can adjust the intensity of each session based on your skin health, sensitivity, and the nature of the improvements you’d like to achieve.
- Following a series of microneedling sessions, most clients opt for periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the results, rather than requiring repeated and frequent therapies over an extended period.
We can, of course, offer personalised advice during a consultation, but generally suggest spacing microneedling sessions around four to six weeks apart to allow enough time for the skin’s healing process, with between three and six treatments often optimal to achieve a refreshed, revitalised and smoother appearance.
Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, encouraging natural skin repair and renewal. It improves texture, tone, and firmness over time.
Microneedling is effective for reducing fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, dullness, and skin laxity. It’s also used to rejuvenate the neck and décolletage.
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. At Meyer Clinic, we apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to minimise discomfort. Clients typically describe the sensation as a light prickling or scratching.
Results vary depending on skin goals, but most clients benefit from a course of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Our team creates a personalised plan based on your skin needs.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, tightness, or mild swelling for 24–72 hours. Most clients return to work the next day. We’ll provide aftercare to support optimal healing.
You may notice brighter, smoother skin within a week. However, full results, especially improvements in texture, firmness, and scarring, build over 4 to 6 weeks as collagen production increases.
Yes. Microneedling works well alongside treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), chemical peels, and advanced skincare. We often combine therapies for more dramatic results.
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones. At Meyer Clinic, all treatments are medically led and thoroughly assessed to ensure suitability and safety.
Avoid makeup, active skincare (retinol, acids), sun exposure, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours. We’ll provide a tailored aftercare plan to support skin recovery.
Absolutely. Microneedling is one of the most effective, natural ways to boost collagen and improve skin health long-term, without injectables or surgery. It’s a favourite among clients seeking visible results with minimal downtime.
