Microneedling is one of several tools we use at Beyond Skin UK — but it is rarely the only option worth considering. The most appropriate treatment depends on your skin, your concerns and what you actually want to achieve, not on a single “best” technique.

Here is how microneedling compares with other treatments available at the clinic, to help you arrive at your consultation informed rather than decided.

Microneedling (EPN)

EPN Microneedling — from £189

BEST SUITED TO
Texture, fine lines, mild acne scarring, dullness, overall skin quality
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Progressive skin renewal through controlled microchannels, with electroporation supporting topical delivery
TYPICAL IMPROVEMENT
Redness and sensitivity usually settle over a few days; results develop gradually
WHEN BEYOND SKIN MAY CHOOSE IT
When the priority is broad skin-quality improvement rather than a single structural concern

Skin Peels

Chemical Skin Peels

BEST SUITED TO
Pigmentation, uneven tone, congestion, dullness, superficial texture
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Accelerated surface renewal by removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth
TYPICAL IMPROVEMENT
Varies by peel depth; can include flaking or mild peeling over several days
WHEN BEYOND SKIN MAY CHOOSE IT
When tone, brightness and surface renewal are the main goals, rather than collagen remodelling

PRF

Platelet-Rich Fibrin — from £195

BEST SUITED TO
Patients wanting a regenerative, autologous approach to skin quality
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Uses a platelet- and fibrin-rich component from your own blood to support the skin’s repair environment
TYPICAL IMPROVEMENT
Minimal to moderate depending on combination with other treatments
WHEN BEYOND SKIN MAY CHOOSE IT
When a regenerative approach is preferred, or as an enhancement to microneedling

Biofiller

Biofiller (where appropriate)

BEST SUITED TO
Selected volume and contour concerns assessed as clinically appropriate
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Regenerative volumising using an autologous fibrin-based material rather than a traditional filler
TYPICAL IMPROVEMENT
Discussed at consultation based on treatment area and technique
WHEN BEYOND SKIN MAY CHOOSE IT
When a natural, regenerative alternative to conventional filler is suitable

Medical Skincare

Medical-Grade Skincare

BEST SUITED TO
All skin types; the foundation of any longer-term skin plan
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Support skin health, barrier function and treatment results between in-clinic sessions
TYPICAL IMPROVEMENT
None — introduced progressively and tailored to tolerance
WHEN BEYOND SKIN MAY CHOOSE IT
Always — home care underpins and prolongs the results of every in-clinic treatment

You Don’t Need to Choose Before Your Consultation

Reading about treatments is useful, but choosing between them in advance often isn’t. Your skin assessment helps determine which approach — or combination — is most appropriate for you.

Sometimes the right answer is microneedling. Sometimes it’s a peel, sometimes PRF, sometimes simply better medical skincare. And sometimes it’s a sequence over time. The consultation exists to work that out with you.
