Microneedling in Cardiff
Beauty Advance has been delivering clinician-led microneedling in Cardiff since 1988, with sessions starting from £150. Also known as the Electric Derma Stamp, this treatment is designed to improve skin quality, reduce visible scarring, and address common signs of ageing, with a particular focus on acne scarring.
The treatment creates precise, controlled micro channels within the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate natural repair, collagen production, and overall skin renewal. Each session is fully personalised to your skin and goals. Smaller needle depths are used for faster recovery and more superficial concerns, while deeper settings are selected for more advanced scarring and textural issues, with the understanding that slightly more downtime may be required for optimal results.
How Does It Work
The Electric Derma Stamp creates controlled micro channels within the deeper layers of the skin to trigger the skin’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, firmness, and overall clarity while reducing the appearance of scars and uneven tone over time.

What to Expect
Your practitioner will assess your skin and select the most suitable needle depth for your concerns. During treatment, the device is passed over the skin in a controlled way. You may feel a mild prickling sensation and warmth. After treatment, the skin commonly appears pink or red and may feel tight or sensitive.
What Microneedling Can Treat
Microneedling in Cardiff at Beauty Advance is used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scarring, surgical and trauma scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, dull or congested skin, and early signs of skin laxity. It is suitable for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, and selected body areas. Those specifically targeting acne scarring may also benefit from chemical peels as part of a combined treatment plan discussed at your consultation.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
A course of treatments is recommended for the best results. Most clients require between three and six sessions, depending on the skin concern being treated and how their skin responds. Sessions are typically spaced four to six weeks apart to allow the skin to complete its natural repair cycle between appointments.
Clients treating mild texture concerns or dull skin may see noticeable improvement from two to three sessions. Those addressing deeper acne scarring or more advanced skin concerns typically require a longer course. Your practitioner will confirm a personalised recommendation at your consultation. Clients looking for a needle-free alternative may want to explore our vitamin booster microneedling facial, which offers a gentler option with no downtime.
Microneedling Aftercare
After your session, the skin will appear pink or red and may feel tight and sensitive for one to two days. It is important to keep the skin clean, avoid makeup for at least 24 hours, use a gentle moisturiser, and protect the skin with SPF during the healing period. Avoid direct sun exposure, heat, and active skincare ingredients such as retinol and acids for at least five days following treatment.
Full written aftercare instructions are provided at every appointment.
