Microneedling in the Scottish Borders
Microneedling is a skin treatment designed to support smoother, fresher-looking skin by creating tiny controlled micro-channels in the skin.
At Tweed Aesthetics in Greenlaw, Scottish Borders, microneedling treatments are carried out using Dermapen 4 in a Healthcare Improvement Scotland registered clinic.
What can microneedling help with?
Microneedling may help improve the appearance of:
- fine lines
- uneven skin texture
- dull skin
- enlarged pores
- mild acne scarring
- pigmentation concerns
- general skin quality
What happens during treatment?
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin, concerns, medical history and suitability.
The skin is cleansed, prepared and treated using a professional microneedling device. After treatment, the skin may look red or flushed, similar to mild sunburn.
Is there downtime?
Most people experience redness for 24–48 hours. Some dryness or mild flaking can occur as the skin renews.
Aftercare advice will be provided, including skincare guidance and sun protection.
Why choose Tweed Aesthetics?

Is microneedling painful?
Most people describe microneedling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Sensations vary depending on the area treated and individual sensitivity. Your comfort will be monitored throughout the treatment and numbing cream can be used.
How long does it take to recover?
After treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. This usually settles within 24–48 hours. Some people may also experience slight dryness or flaking as the skin heals.
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
Some improvement may be noticed after one session, but a course of treatments is often recommended for best results. This will be discussed during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Skin improvements develop gradually as collagen production increases. Results are not instant and will continue to improve over the weeks following treatment.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
You’ll be advised when it is safe to apply makeup, depending on your skin and the treatment performed. This is usually after the initial healing period.
