Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
The Treatment That Tells Your Skin to Rebuild Itself
Microneedling – also known as collagen induction therapy or fractional mesotherapy is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a precision medical-grade pen device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These precisely calibrated micro-injuries activate the body’s natural three-phase wound healing cascade, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin at a rate impossible to achieve through any topical skincare product or non-invasive treatment.
Clinical studies demonstrate that microneedling boosts collagen production by up to 400% over a course of 3–6 treatments. This collagen remodelling is not a surface effect it is a genuine structural change in the dermal architecture that produces measurable improvements in skin firmness, texture, scar appearance and elasticity.
Available in four packages at Faceit by Ian in Walton-on-Thames including the cutting-edge Microneedling with Exosomes (Ian’s most advanced package) and Microneedling with BioRePeel for combined resurfacing and collagen stimulation in a single session.
The Most Advanced Option
Exosomes - The Future of Skin Regeneration
Exosomes represent the frontier of regenerative aesthetics in 2025 — and Faceit by Ian in Walton-on-Thames is one of the few clinics in Surrey offering microneedling with exosomes.
Exosomes are nano-sized, cell-derived vesicles — microscopic messengers that facilitate communication between cells. Packed with growth factors, proteins, lipids and micro-RNA, exosomes deliver precise regenerative instructions directly to skin cells — signalling fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, suppressing inflammatory pathways and accelerating cellular repair at a speed and depth that no other topical ingredient can match.
When delivered through the micro-channels created by microneedling, exosomes reach the deep dermis where fibroblasts live — the exact location where collagen synthesis occurs. The result is a regenerative cascade that produces measurably greater results than microneedling alone in every clinical measure: collagen density, skin firmness, scar improvement and post-treatment recovery speed.
- 300% greater collagen stimulation vs microneedling alone
- 50% faster post-treatment inflammation resolution
- Growth factors, micro-RNA and proteins delivered to deep dermis
- Natural, biocompatible – plant-derived exosomes are non-immunogenic
- Outstanding for advanced anti-ageing, scarring and pigmentation
- The same regenerative science behind Exoblanc exosome skincare
What Microneedling Treats
Skin Concerns Addressed by Microneedling at Faceit by Ian
Acne Scars & Post-Acne Marks
Microneedling is one of the most clinically proven treatments for acne scars. Type I collagen produced during remodelling contracts and fills scar tissue. The Microneedling + BioRePeel package is Ian's recommended protocol for significant acne scar improvement.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
The 400% collagen increase produced by a full course progressively tightens and smooths fine lines — especially around the eyes, mouth and forehead. The Microneedling + Exosomes package is the most effective for anti-ageing goals.
Hyperpigmentation & Uneven Tone
Microneedling with BioRePeel targets pigmentation at two levels simultaneously surface brightening via the TCA peel and deep melanocyte regulation via the needling-triggered inflammatory cascade.
Skin Texture & Enlarged Pores
The collagen remodelling process significantly improves overall skin texture, smoothness and pore appearance producing a measurably more refined and even skin surface over a course of treatments.
Microneedling - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes – microneedling is one of the few clinical treatments proven safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types including darker tones (types V and VI). Unlike laser treatments that carry a risk of pigmentation changes in darker skin, microneedling’s collagen induction mechanism is colour-neutral. It is suitable for all ages and skin types, with the treatment parameters adjusted for individual skin conditions.
Microneedling with exosomes maximises regenerative and anti-ageing results exosomes amplify collagen production by 300% and accelerate recovery. Microneedling with BioRePeel is optimised for skin resurfacing, acne scar treatment and pigmentation — the TCA peel provides additional chemical exfoliation alongside the collagen induction. Ian advises which package is best suited to your specific skin goals during your consultation.
Yes. Microneedling is effective on the neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen and legs — particularly for stretch marks, surgical scars and skin laxity on the body. Ian tailors the needle depth and protocol to the specific area and skin thickness. Body microneedling pricing is separate from facial packages; Ian advises at consultation.
Excellent — microneedling with exosomes is the clinical pinnacle of the K-beauty principle of supporting natural cellular regeneration. The exosome technology used in Ian’s most advanced package shares its science with Exoblanc — the Korean-developed exosome skincare brand Ian stocks in Surrey. Applying Exoblanc post-microneedling creates the ultimate Korean skincare protocol for glass skin results.
Highly recommended. Dermalux LED applied post-microneedling accelerates the healing of micro-channels, reduces redness significantly faster and enhances the collagen stimulation response. Ian often recommends adding a Dermalux LED session (£30) immediately following microneedling for clients wanting the fastest recovery and maximum collagen benefit.
Professional microneedling is available at Faceit by Ian, Studio 35, Walton Business Centre, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey KT12 2SD. Four packages from £89 to £125 including Microneedling with Exosomes — one of the most advanced microneedling protocols available in Surrey. Ian serves clients from Weybridge, Esher, Cobham, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond and across South West London.
