Microneedling London
Define Clinic’s London practice on Windmill Street, Fitzrovia, offers microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, for patients wanting to address acne scars, uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines, and stretch marks.
Dr Benji Dhillon leads Define Clinic’s London practice, where microneedling is used to treat acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines, uneven texture, and stretch marks. It’s an evidence-backed treatment that works by prompting the skin to repair itself.
Treatment starts from £295. Trained clinical practitioners carry out all sessions.
Why Patients Choose Define Clinic
Clinical-Grade Equipment
Our microneedling devices allow precise adjustment of needle depth per area. A practitioner treating acne scarring on the cheek sets a different depth to treating the under-eye area. That precision shapes the result.
Tailored Treatment Plans
The number of sessions, spacing, needle depth, and whether to combine with PRP or skin boosters all depend on your skin and what you want to address. We agreed on a plan at the consultation rather than following a standard course.
Medical Oversight
All skin treatments at Define Clinic are carried out by trained practitioners working under Dr Benji Dhillon’s clinical oversight. Microneedling at this level of care produces different outcomes in a beauty clinic setting.
What Microneedling Treats
Acne Scars
Rolling and boxcar scars respond well to microneedling. The treatment breaks down fibrous scar tissue and stimulates the production of new collagen. A course of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart typically produces the most meaningful improvement.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Microneedling boosts collagen production in the areas treated, improving skin thickness and reducing fine lines. Works well on its own and can be combined with skin boosters or anti-wrinkle injections for more comprehensive results.
Pigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone
Treatment encourages skin cell turnover and helps break down excess melanin deposits. Effective for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma. High SPF is essential during and after a course of treatment.
Skin Texture and Enlarged Pores
Rough texture, congested skin, and visibly enlarged pores all improve with treatment. The collagen produced during healing thickens and smooths the dermis over time.
Stretch Marks
Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin in the affected area. Results are gradual but meaningful, particularly for mature stretch marks. Multiple sessions are usually required.
General Skin Rejuvenation
Patients whose skin looks flat, tired, or has lost radiance often use microneedling as a reset. Combining with skin boosters or PRP amplifies the result.
Microneedling With PRP
Microneedling can be combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), produced from a small sample of your own blood. PRP is applied immediately after microneedling, when the microchannels allow it to penetrate far more deeply than it would on intact skin. The combination works particularly well for acne scarring and for patients seeking broader improvements in skin quality.
Suitable For
Microneedling suits patients with:
- Post-acne scarring
- Early signs of ageing without wanting injectables
- Uneven skin tone or textured skin
- Loss of radiance or general dullness
- Stretch marks or surgical scars
Not suitable for active acne, open skin, active infections, or patients who have used isotretinoin within the past six months. Not suitable during pregnancy.
What to Expect
Consultation
Skin assessment, history, and agreed treatment plan. Shapes needle depth, number of sessions, and whether to combine with PRP.
Before Treatment
Avoid retinoids, acids, and active exfoliants for a few days beforehand. Numbing cream is applied 30 to 45 minutes before the session.
During Treatment
The device moves methodically across the treatment area. Most patients describe a light scratching or mild vibration. 45-60 minutes for the face.
After Treatment
Redness and mild swelling settle within 24 hours. Some skin flaking is normal over the following days as cell turnover increases. High SPF is essential for at least four weeks after each session. Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours.
Results
Improved skin quality is often noticeable within a week. Full collagen remodelling takes three to four months. For acne scarring, a course of three to six sessions is usually recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
Numbing cream is applied beforehand. Most patients describe a light scratching sensation. Very manageable overall.
How many sessions do I need?
Two to three for general rejuvenation. Three to six for acne scarring or deeper concerns. Our team advises at the consultation.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Microneedling uses physical micro-injury rather than heat or light, so it carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation than many laser treatments.
How much does it cost?
From £295 per session. Course pricing and add-ons confirmed at consultation.

I’ve been going to Dr. Benji Dhillon for all my Botox and facial treatments ever since I moved to London five years ago, and I honestly haven’t looked back. He was the first cosmetic doctor I ever saw, and I immediately felt comfortable in his hands. He just gets it — the results are always natural, never overdone, and I always leave feeling like the best version of myself

Define is the best clinic in London. I would only trust Benji for my touch ups and Eden has completely transformed my skin with BBL. They are so incredibly friendly and I genuinely look forward to going to Define. I couldn’t recommend them more!

This was my first time ever getting any cosmetic procedure done, and I’m so glad I chose to have this experience done at define with Rosie. Going into my appointment, I was feeling a little apprehensive as to how my results were going to turn out. I just wanted something to help get rid of a few lines on my forehead without anyone noticing that I had anything done. Rosie took all of my points into consideration and she exceeded my expectations. Not only did she try to calm my nerves by bringing me water and making sure my experience was enjoyable, she also made sure that I was completely comfortable with everything she was doing and she made sure that I had all the knowledge I needed before I continued with the procedure.
One thing I will say about define, it’s a little on the pricier side however, it is worth every penny. You are paying for quality and good results!
If anyone is considering going to define (especially if this is your first cosmetic experience), I would highly recommend booking with the lovely Rosie!

I had Botox treatment for the first time ever back in 2021, with Dr Teuta Berisha. I have since gone back twice for a top-up and will remain a loyal client of hers. I am very picky and (understandably) selective with my face, but Dr Berisha made me so comfortable and her attention to detail is to be praised. She is a perfectionist and really cares for her clients. I’m really pleased with the results. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I spent a great deal of time researching the pros and cons of having fillers before I decided to book an appointment with Dr Dhillon. I had lots of questions and concerns and I wanted to discuss these before I went ahead with the procedures. On meeting Dr Dhillon and his team, I was immediately put at ease, my questions were discussed in depth and I felt completely reassured about the treatments. I subsequently went ahead with both fillers and botox and I couldn’t be more delighted, the results are incredibly natural and I’ve since had numerous comments on how well I look. I can’t recommend Dr Dhillon and his team highly enough, you immediately feel that you are in the care of a true expert and someone that cares about giving you the best outcome.

Dr Dhillon is the only doctor I trust with any treatments I require. Having had botox for many years – not undertaken by Dr Dhillon I now see the results and benefits having him undertake the procedure. I highly recommend him.
