Microneedling
Medical microneedling — collagen induction therapy — uses a precision device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering its natural repair cascade: new collagen, new elastin and progressively smoother, stronger skin.
In brief
NexGen Clinic provides medical microneedling (collagen induction therapy) in Cambridge. Controlled micro-channels trigger the skin’s natural repair response, improving texture, acne scarring, enlarged pores and fine lines. A typical course is 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, from £150 per session, with only short-lived redness afterwards.
The NexGen approach
Considered, consultation-led microneedling
It is one of the most evidence-backed treatments for acne scarring, uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores, and pairs powerfully with regenerative serums or polynucleotides. Medical-depth needling achieves what home rollers cannot — safely and hygienically.
Who this may suit
- Acne scarring and post-blemish marks
- Uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores
- Fine lines and early photo-ageing
- Dull skin needing a renewal cycle
- Stretch marks on selected body areas — assessed at consultation
Before anything else
What to expect at your consultation
We assess your skin, scarring depth and history (including any active breakouts, which need settling first), then map a realistic course — typically 3–6 sessions — and discuss combinations such as polynucleotides or exosome serums where evidence supports them.

Microneedling questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does microneedling cost in Cambridge?
From £150 per session at NexGen, with course pricing agreed at consultation. Most plans involve 3–6 sessions depending on the concern.
Does microneedling hurt?
Topical numbing cream makes treatment very tolerable — most clients describe a light scratching sensation.
How many sessions will I need?
Texture and glow often improve within 1–2 sessions; acne scarring typically needs 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We will give you an honest estimate at consultation.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Microneedling is generally considered one of the safer resurfacing options across skin tones because it does not rely on heat or light — suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
When will I see results?
Initial glow appears within days; the meaningful collagen response builds over 4–6 weeks per session and continues after the course completes.
