Microneedling in Dublin
Considering microneedling in Dublin? Here's what to know — and 5 verified med spas in Dublin to start from.
Microneedling is one of the few aesthetic treatments that improves the skin itself rather than masking it. The trade-off is patience — collagen takes weeks to remodel, and the result accrues over a series.

Microneedling, common questions.
Does it hurt?
Numbing cream is applied for 30–45 minutes pre-treatment. Most patients describe the procedure as uncomfortable but tolerable, like sandpaper at depth. The face is more sensitive than the body.
How is the recovery?
Day 1: pink, like a sunburn. Day 2–3: mild flaking. Day 4: makeup-friendly. Avoid sun, retinoids, and active acids for one week.
Microneedling vs RF microneedling — which?
RF microneedling (Morpheus8, Vivace, Genius) adds radiofrequency heat to the needling. It is more powerful for skin laxity and deeper remodeling, but two to three times the price and longer recovery. For pure texture, traditional microneedling is sufficient.
Can I do it at home?
At-home dermarollers do not reach therapeutic depth and risk infection if not sterilized. The risk of doing it badly outweighs the cost savings. If budget is the constraint, three professional sessions a year beats fifty at-home ones.
What does PRP add?
Patient's own platelets, applied topically post-needling, supply growth factors that may accelerate healing and amplify collagen response. Adds $200–$500 per session. Optional, not required.
