MicroneedlingPerformed by trained technicians at our London clinic.

Fine lines form where collagen and elastin thin out over years of movement and sun exposure. The skin loses the scaffolding that kept it springy, and expression lines stop bouncing back.

Microneedling treats that directly by creating controlled micro-channels that prompt the skin to lay down new collagen and elastin. The face is not treated at one setting: our protocol runs 0.25 to 0.75 mm on the forehead, 0.25 to 0.5 mm around the eyes, and 0.5 to 1.0 mm across the cheeks and chin, because the skin changes thickness across the face.

The eye area is the most delicate skin on the face and is treated at the shallowest setting in the protocol. Results build gradually as collagen matures, which is what keeps the change looking like your own skin rather than something applied to it.

In London, Komal (Medical Esthetician) performs this treatment at our Thompson Road clinic, which holds 4.9 out of 5 across 202 verified Fresha reviews. Because the depth changes between the eye area and the cheeks, that mapping happens before the first pass rather than being decided mid-treatment.

Why London chooses Femme for face wrinkles

Depth changes across the face

Forehead, eye area, cheeks and chin each have their own depth range in our protocol, rather than one setting used everywhere.

Care around the eyes

The eye area is treated at 0.25 to 0.5 mm, the shallowest setting we use, because that skin is the thinnest on the face.

Your own collagen

Nothing synthetic is injected. The treatment prompts your skin to produce collagen and elastin, so the change appears gradually.

Your face wrinkles protocol in London

Every face wrinkles appointment at our London clinic follows the same six-step protocol, worked at 0.25 to 1.0 mm, the depth range our protocol sets for this concern. Your technician talks you through each stage.

Skin analysis

We assess skin type on the Fitzpatrick scale, review your medical history and map which areas of the face need which depth.

Cleanse and degrease

Makeup is removed and the skin is cleansed thoroughly before treatment begins.

Medical-grade disinfection

The treatment area is disinfected with medical-grade antiseptic.

Topical numbing if required

Numbing cream is applied where needed, allowed to absorb, then removed completely before the pass begins.

Area-by-area needling

Sterile single-use cartridges, with depth stepped down around the eyes and up across the cheeks, in vertical, horizontal and diagonal passes.

Serum and aftercare

A professional serum may be applied where appropriate, followed by sun protection guidance while new collagen matures.

Face Wrinkles microneedling questions in London

How many sessions will I need in London?

Fine lines usually improve over a short course rather than a single visit, with sessions spaced to let collagen mature in between. Your practitioner sets the number after assessing your skin.

Is microneedling safe around the eyes?

The eye area is treated at 0.25 to 0.5 mm, the shallowest depth in our protocol, by a practitioner trained on the device. It is not treated at the same depth as the cheeks.

When will I see a difference?

Collagen takes weeks to build, so the change is gradual rather than immediate. Skin often looks brighter within days, while firmness develops over the following weeks.

What should I avoid beforehand?

Stop retinol, retinoids, AHA and BHA exfoliants, glycolic and salicylic acid, chemical peels, waxing and threading 5 to 7 days before. Avoid alcohol and heavy makeup in the 24 hours before your appointment.

Is there downtime?

Expect mild redness for about a day, sometimes with light flaking as the surface turns over. Facial depths sit at the gentler end of the protocol range.
