Microneedling in Kettering
Microneedling uses your skin’s own healing response to support new collagen. We use the Fusion Meso Platinum Pen 2 at two depths, superficial and medical meso-needling, with a sterile serum selected for your skin. It is one of the treatments we recommend most often for acne scarring, uneven texture, pigmentation and fine lines, and results can continue to improve for months after a course.
How it works
We use the Fusion Meso Platinum Pen 2, fitted with a sterile cartridge. It creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, which responds by producing new collagen and elastin and renewing its surface. A sterile Fusion Meso serum, selected to suit your skin concerns, is applied during treatment so the active ingredients can be absorbed through the microchannels. Over a course, scars can soften, texture becomes smoother and the skin looks firmer and brighter.
One device, three treatment options
Nano-needling, microneedling and fractional mesotherapy all use the Fusion Meso Platinum Pen 2, with a different cartridge and settings for each. The sterile Fusion Meso serum is selected to suit your skin concerns. Fusion calls microneedling combined with these serums fractional mesotherapy: the pen creates microchannels in the skin, helping the active ingredients to be absorbed.

What to expect
Consultation We assess your skin, rule out contraindications and plan the course.
Treatment Numbing cream is applied first. The treatment itself takes around 30 to 45 minutes and feels like a light scratching sensation.
Afterwards Redness is expected after treatment. How long it lasts varies with the needle depth and how your skin responds. Avoid make-up for 24 hours and use sun protection.
Number of treatments A course of sessions, usually 2–4 weeks apart, with your treatment plan tailored to you. Scarring needs more sessions than general rejuvenation.
Results Visible from around four weeks, improving for up to six months after your final session.
Combining treatments
Each meso-needling treatment includes a sterile Fusion Meso serum chosen for your skin. Dermalux LED can be added afterwards to help calm redness, and nano-needling is a gentle way to maintain results between courses. We will suggest the combination that fits your plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
With numbing cream, no more than mild discomfort. Most clients are surprised how comfortable it is.
Is there downtime?
Redness is expected after treatment. How long it lasts varies with the needle depth and how your skin responds, and we will talk you through what to expect at your consultation.
Can it be done on darker skin?
Yes. Microneedling does not rely on heat or light, so it is suitable for all skin tones with appropriate care.
Is microneedling the same as fractional mesotherapy?
They use the same device. Fusion calls microneedling combined with its sterile serums fractional mesotherapy, and every meso-needling treatment we offer includes a serum selected for your skin. Whether you need superficial or medical meso-needling is decided at your consultation.
