What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses very fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These tiny channels trigger the skin’s natural repair response and encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve firmness, texture and overall skin quality over time.

Key Benefits

  • Boosts collagen & elastin production for firmer skin
  • Improves overall skin texture and tone
  • Softens acne scars and uneven skin areas
  • Minimal downtime with natural looking results
  • Enhances absorption of medical grade serums

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling is ideal if you want:

  • A refreshed, more youthful complexion
  • Reduced fine lines or early signs of aging
  • Smoother texture with less visible pores
  • Improved appearance of acne or other scars
  • Brighter, more even skin tone

Everyone’s skin is different, and Dr Raquel will personalise your treatment plan during your consultation.

What to Expect From Your Treatment

1. Consultation & Assessment
Your appointment begins with a review of your skin concerns, medical history and treatment goals to make sure microneedling is suitable for you.

2. Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to help keep you comfortable.

3. Microneedling Treatment
A professional microneedling device creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin to encourage natural renewal and collagen production. Most treatments take around 30 to 60 minutes.

4. Immediate Aftercare
Your skin may look slightly red or feel warm after treatment, similar to mild sunburn. This is normal and usually settles within a short time.

Before & After Your Treatment

To maximise results and comfort:

Before Your Session

  • Avoid strong exfoliants or chemical peels at least 3‑5 days prior
  • Stay out of direct sun exposure before treatment
  • Disclose any medications or conditions to Dr Raquel

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Expect mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hrs
  • Use gentle cleansers and hydrating products
  • Protect skin with SPF daily
  • Avoid swimming, intense exercise, or sauna for a few days

Because each person’s skin heals differently, Dr Raquel provides personalised aftercare guidance to support safe, effective results.

✨ Results develop gradually and vary by skin type, but most people notice a smoother, brighter complexion after a few treatments.

This treatment is not recommended if there is active acne, active rosacea flare, keloid-prone skin, use of isotretinoin within 6 months, poor wound healing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m on holiday in Estepona and needed to see a doctor, and I found Dr. Raquel Delgado on Google and contacted her on WhatsApp. She got back to me so quickly and arranged a video consultation that morning. She was absolutely lovely. She gave me so much time, explained everything to me and I felt really comfortable talking to her. I never felt rushed at all. There was then a problem with my prescription at the pharmacy and when I contacted Dr. Delgado again, she answered straight away and actually spoke to the pharmacist herself to get it sorted for me. She even kept in touch with me afterwards to make sure everything was okay. I really appreciated how kind and caring she was, especially being away from home and needing a doctor. I’m so glad I found her and would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone visiting Estepona. Thank you, Dr. Delgado. ❤️ And very keenly priced 😊

We were lucky to get an appointment at short notice over the weekend with Dr Rachel in Spain when other medical practices were unavailable. She was thorough and kind and fully explained the treatment plan being proposed. Very happy to recommend her.

I recommend Dr Delgado. She is professional, respectful and kind. Talking through weight management can be uncomfortable but she creates a safe environment to talk through you current status and barriers. I will definitely continue to see her as a medical provider.

I visited Bilba Clinic on Great Titchfield Street to seek advice and treatment for solar keratosis with Dr. Raquel Delgado. It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Delgado who was friendly, professional, thorough, and attentive throughout the consultation. She explained the cryotherapy treatment in detail, made sure I understood the procedure, and provided clear guidance on aftercare and follow-up. I left with complete confidence in her expertise and would recommend her without hesitation. I received a detailed clinic letter with details of the consultation etc for my reference. Bilba Clinic itself is welcoming and comfortable, with an environment that ensures privacy, hygiene, and ease. It is ideally located with excellent access, making it a perfect setting for a medical consultation. Thank you Dr Delgado

Microneedling FAQs

Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These trigger your body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production — the proteins that keep skin smooth, firm, and youthful.

Microneedling is effective for improving:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Stretch marks
  • Dull or ageing skin

Dr Raquel customises each treatment to address your specific skin goals.

Most clients report minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure your comfort. You may feel a light prickling sensation or warmth during treatment, but it's very tolerable.

Results vary depending on your skin condition and goals. Many clients see visible improvements after just 1 session, but a course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results.

You may notice a fresh glow and smoother texture within a few days, but collagen production continues for weeks. Best results typically appear after 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement over 2–3 months.

There is minimal downtime. Expect some redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24–48 hours. Most people resume normal activities the next day. Dr Raquel provides full aftercare instructions to help your skin heal safely.

Yes, microneedling is generally safe for all skin tones and types, including sensitive or darker skin. However, it’s not suitable for active acne, eczema, or certain medical conditions. Dr Raquel will assess your suitability during your consultation.

Absolutely. Microneedling can be combined with treatments such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), chemical peels, or targeted serums for enhanced results. Dr Raquel will recommend a personalised plan based on your skin’s needs.
