Thriyv is proud to offer Microneedling with our Skin Pen Precision device! Microneedling creates thousands of temporary microscopic channels in the skin, which activates your skin’s natural healing power. This leads to an increase in collagen and elastin, promoting a healthier and youthful appearance.
If you are a new client, we strongly recommend booking one of our consultation services to ensure your treatment plan aligns perfectly with your goals and concerns.

Collagen and elastin are the essential protein fibres in the skin that give it support and elasticity. As we get older, those fibres break down leading to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and large pores. Thriyv’s Microneedling service kicks starts your skins natural healing process, helping you boost collagen and elastin production. Microneedling can improve the appearance of:
Every aesthetics treatment at Thriyv begins with a comprehensive consultation. On your arrival at our Manchester City Centre wellness hub, one of our medical professionals will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetics goals and how Thriyv can help you achieve them. If all is well, and depending on your timescales, your treatment will go ahead the same day or be scheduled for a later date of your choosing.
As part of our commitment to client safety, our medical professionals may deem you unsuitable to progress with your intended treatment. Depending on the circumstances, your treatment may be deferred to a later date or postponed indefinitely. Regardless, your medical practitioner will fully inform you as to why and what alternatives may be available to you in the meantime.
For further details of our treatment booking & refund policies, please see here.
Your treatment will be delivered in one of our clean, professional and purpose built aesthetics treatment rooms. Your comfort and safety is paramount. That’s why all of our microneedling treatments are delivered by medical professionals with an excellent understanding of facial anatomy.
We also use premium treatment beds, high strength numbing cream and the only FDA approved medical-grade microneedling device, to help you relax and minimise discomfort whilst you undergo your transformation.
On completion of your treatment, you’ll be provided with thorough aftercare guidance.
Post-Microneedling, most clients will experience redness and sensitivity for approximately 24 hours, after which the effects will start to lessen. However, this can vary from person-to-person.
To aid with recovery and ensure your Microneedling settles, it’s recommended you avoid the following during the first 24-48 hours as a minimum:
You should also utilise the recovery products given to you by your practitioner and from the 24 hour point wear SPF.

A microneedling session at our Manchester clinic takes approximately 30 minutes, plus around 20 minutes for numbing cream to take full effect — so allow 60 minutes total in clinic. We never rush the numbing phase — proper anaesthesia is what separates a comfortable medical-grade treatment from a salon experience.
Single-area microneedling at our Manchester clinic starts from £170 per session. We also offer course pricing for the recommended 3–6 session protocol at a reduced rate. Many clients book microneedling within our Thriyv Wellness Membership for ongoing skin maintenance.
We use the SkinPen Precision — the world’s first and only FDA-cleared microneedling device, and CE-marked for use in the UK and EU. This matters. Most Manchester clinics use dermapens, Dr. Pen variants, or unbranded devices that lack regulatory clearance. SkinPen Precision delivers:
When you’re paying for medical-grade results, the device matters as much as the practitioner.
SkinPen Precision microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production through controlled micro-injury. Clinically proven benefits include:
Results compound over a course of treatments rather than appearing instantly.
Our recommended protocol is 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your goals and starting point:
Dr Callum Shields (MBChB) assesses your skin at consultation and recommends a personalised protocol — not a generic package.
You’ll notice immediate skin glow within 24–48 hours, but the real results build gradually:
This is why microneedling is treated as a course, not a one-off. Results continue improving for up to 6 months after your final session.
Yes — minimal but real. Expect:
Most clients schedule treatments Thursday or Friday to allow the weekend for recovery. Avoid the gym, saunas, swimming, and direct sun for 48 hours post-treatment.
Microneedling is generally well tolerated when properly numbed. We apply a medical-grade numbing cream for 20 minutes before treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or scratching, not pain. Areas with thinner skin (forehead, around the eyes) may feel slightly more sensitive — this is normal and manageable.
Most areas of the body respond well to microneedling. The most common treatment areas at Thriyv are:
Dr Cal will assess suitability at consultation, particularly for scar work which often benefits from being combined with polynucleotides or growth factor serums.
Yes — and in most cases, this is where the real results come from. At Thriyv, we commonly combine microneedling with:
This is the clinical advantage of a doctor-led aesthetics hub — we build protocols around your skin, not around a single product.
For 5 days before your session, avoid all active skincare ingredients:
Also avoid sunbeds, sunburn, and recent waxing in the treatment area. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. We’ll provide full written aftercare following your treatment.
SkinPen Precision is the safest microneedling system on the market — the only device with FDA clearance, sterile single-use cartridges, and published safety data. That said, contraindications apply: active acne breakouts, eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area, recent isotretinoin (Roaccutane) use, pregnancy, and certain autoimmune conditions. Every new client is medically screened by Dr Callum Shields (MBChB) before treatment. From 2026, DHSC licensing rules will tighten standards across the UK aesthetics industry — Thriyv already operates at the clinical standard the law is moving toward.
