Does Microneedling Help with Wrinkles?
If you’ve started to notice fine lines or wrinkles appearing and are looking for a natural way to smooth and refresh your skin, microneedling could be your answer.
At Tracy Fensome Aesthetics, microneedling is one of our most-requested anti-ageing skin treatments. This collagen-boosting procedure is loved by clients for its ability to restore glow and firmness—without injectables or downtime.
Let’s explore exactly how microneedling works for wrinkles, who it’s best suited for, and the kind of results you can expect.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device fitted with ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response and boost the production of collagen and elastin.
The result? Skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful over time.

How Microneedling Helps Reduce Wrinkles
Wrinkles form due to a breakdown of collagen, sun exposure, dehydration, and repeated facial movement. Microneedling addresses these issues by:
- Stimulating new collagen and elastin
- Reducing the depth and visibility of fine lines
- Firming sagging or thinning skin
- Improving absorption of anti-ageing skincare products
It works especially well on:
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Smile lines and nasolabial folds
- Forehead wrinkles
- Fine lines around the lips
- Loose skin on the neck and décolletage
Who Is Microneedling Suitable For?
This treatment is suitable for most skin types, especially those concerned with:
- Early signs of ageing
- Sun damage and texture issues
- Acne scarring or pigmentation
- Dull, dehydrated skin
During your consultation at Tracy Fensome Aesthetics, we assess your skin and customise a plan to suit your needs.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Treatment takes around 45–60 minutes. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching or light pressure. Afterwards, your skin may look slightly pink or feel tight—similar to light sunburn—for 1–2 days. For deeper wrinkles or long-term benefits, a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended.
Aftercare for Best Results
- Avoid makeup and heavy skincare for 24 hours
- Apply gentle, hydrating products like hyaluronic acid
- Use SPF 30+ daily
- Stay out of direct sun and avoid exfoliating products for a few days
Your aftercare will be explained in detail, and we’ll recommend professional products to support your skin’s healing.
