Medical Needling (Microneedling)

Medical needling at Tauentzien Medical is a collagen-induction treatment that uses very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural healing response and is associated with renewed collagen and elastin production. It is used to improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation irregularities, stretch marks, sun damage and overall skin texture. After a skin analysis and cleansing, the needling pass is performed and a soothing serum or mask is applied. A session takes around 60–90 minutes, with two to three days of mild redness typical before returning to normal activities.

Medical needling — also known as microneedling or collagen-induction therapy — is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation treatment offered at Tauentzien Medical. A device with very fine needles creates a controlled pattern of tiny micro-injuries in the upper skin layers. These micro-channels trigger the skin's natural wound-healing cascade, a process associated with fresh collagen and elastin formation that may improve firmness, smoothness and overall quality over the following weeks. The treatment is used for a range of concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, acne and other scars, pigmentation irregularities, stretch marks, sun-damaged skin and general textural roughness. Each appointment begins with a skin analysis so the depth and intensity can be matched to the concern, followed by thorough cleansing and, where helpful, a numbing cream. After the needling pass a calming serum or mask is applied, and the clinician gives tailored aftercare advice. Medical needling can also be combined with PRP for a regenerative boost. A session lasts approximately one to one-and-a-half hours. Redness and slight swelling resembling mild sunburn are common for two to three days, and most people resume everyday activities within one to two days; strenuous physical work and direct sun exposure should be avoided for longer. Because results build gradually as the skin regenerates, a course of sessions is usually recommended for the best and most lasting improvement. Pricing starts at €600 per session, with a personalised estimate given at consultation. This is an aesthetic treatment and not covered by statutory insurance.
