Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to improve the quality of your skin using nothing but its own natural repair process. At Āatma we use SkinPen Precision, a medical microneedling device, to create thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin that switch on its collagen and elastin production.

As the skin responds and rebuilds over the weeks that follow, texture becomes smoother, pores look refined, tone evens out, and acne scarring softens. Because it works by stimulating your own collagen, the improvement is gradual and natural, and it builds with a course rather than appearing overnight. It suits anyone wanting a genuine improvement in skin quality rather than a quick surface glow. At Āatma Aesthetics London, every treatment is administered by a GMC-registered doctor inside our CQC-registered clinic at The O2, Greenwich.

The Approach

Stimulate Your Own Collagen

Microneedling rewards a considered approach. Our staff will assess your skin and the concern you want to address, then tailor the needling depth to the area, deeper for scarring on the cheeks, finer for delicate areas, so the treatment is both effective and safe. A numbing cream keeps you comfortable throughout.

Because collagen builds gradually, the best results come from a course, typically three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with the improvement compounding as you go.

How microneedling works

Tiny Channels, Real Renewal

SkinPen works by creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin with a sterile, fine-needle tip. These are controlled and superficial, but they are enough to trigger the skin's natural repair response, the same process that drives it to renew and rebuild, without damaging the surface the way harsher treatments can.

In response, the skin produces fresh collagen and elastin over the following weeks, gradually firming, smoothing, and refining itself. Each session adds to the last, which is why a course delivers the best result, and the same channels also help active skincare absorb more effectively. The effect is a genuine improvement in skin quality that looks and feels natural.

Treatment is carried out at our doctor-led clinic inside The O2 in London.

Is Microneedling Right for You?

-Acne scarring or uneven, textured skin

-Enlarged or visible pores

-Dull skin or uneven tone

-Fine lines and early loss of firmness

-Wanting a real improvement in skin quality over time

It is a course-based treatment whose results build over time, rather than an instant-glow facial. Active acne breakouts and certain skin conditions need to be assessed first, and if you want an immediate glow with no downtime, Dr Shaan may suggest one of our facials instead.

Meet Dr Shaan Patel

Dr Shaan founded Āatma after years of medical training at the University of Southampton and clinical experience across hospitals in the UK and Australia. That foundation shapes how he practises aesthetic medicine: methodical, anatomically led, and conservative.

His approach is built on a simple rule - treat what's in front of you, not what's in fashion. That means honest consultations, treatment plans that prioritise long-term face shape over short-term fixes, and a willingness to say "no, not yet" or "no, not this" when it's the right answer.

"My goal is to keep you looking like you - naturally refreshed, never overdone."

Āatma Difference

Doctor-Led, Always

Every treatment at Āatma is performed by a GMC-registered medical doctor. Anatomical knowledge, medical judgement, and clinical accountability - never a quick treatment by someone who learnt on a weekend course.

Natural Results That Age With You

Treatments designed to enhance your features, not change them. We plan around long-term facial structure, not short-term trends - so your face still looks like you in five years, just better.

Conservative Treatment Planning

We won't always recommend the maximum protocol. After consultation, you'll receive a plan built around what your skin actually needs - sometimes that's fewer sessions, sometimes none yet. Honest care above upsell.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. aesthetic treatment, and I couldn't be more impressed. As a 50-year-old woman new to injections, I was nervous, but Dr Shaan made me feel completely at ease. He explained the Sculptra procedure in detail and kept checking in to ensure I was comfortable throughout.He also gave me a kind discount on Botox, which smoothed my forehead lines beautifully and looks completely natural. After the treatment, my skin looks brighter, my pores are tightened, and I feel refreshed and more vibrant. I highly recommend Dr. Shaan ! I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience Aatma Aesthetics last week. Dr. Shaan and his team were super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Immediately made me feel welcome. I had the fire and ice facial. Highly recommend. We discussed my skin type prior, to ensure my skin didn’t react poorly. The facial was quite a relaxing experience. My skin felt amazing after but truly in the next couple days I noticed my skin was glowing and more even! Thank you so much to everyone at Aatma Aesthetics!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My visit to Aatma Aesthetics was absolutely superb, I couldn’t recommend it enough. I was immediately made to feel very welcome and find Dr Shaan and his team to be incredibly personable and knowledgable. Whilst getting my Fire and Ice Facial I was kept informed throughout with what to expect with each step, as well as what the different products aimed to achieve. Not only was the treatment itself incredibly relaxing, but the results were fantastic. This facial made my skin glow in a way I didn’t even think it was capable of, I was genuinely shocked. I also really appreciated the bespoke advice and recommendations that followed. In the end I walked away with radiant skin, a better understanding of how to manage it, and a clinic I can rely on in the future for high quality treatment. In summary: a brilliant experience from beginning to end, I already can’t wait to go back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Shan is a lovely man, very knowledgable  and skilled. I learned a lot about the products being used. I have been doing fillers for a few years now but this was the most painless process I’ve ever experienced in a normally painful treatment area (lips) - also next to no swelling or bruising which I’m usually quite prone to. This is definitely my regular spot now. Highly recommend!

FAQ

Got questions?
We’ve got answers

Does microneedling hurt?

It is very manageable. A numbing cream is applied first, so most people feel only light pressure and vibration rather than pain. The treated skin can feel warm afterwards, similar to mild sunburn, which settles quickly.

Is there any downtime?

There is a little, unlike our facials. Expect some redness for 24 to 48 hours, a bit like mild sunburn, and occasionally light flaking as the skin renews. Most people return to normal the next day and simply keep skincare gentle and wear SPF for a few days.

How many sessions will I need?

Most concerns respond best to a course of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart to let collagen build between visits. Deeper concerns such as acne scarring usually benefit from the six-session course. Dr Shaan will recommend the right number for you.

When will I see results?

Because the improvement comes from new collagen, it is gradual. Many people notice their skin looking fresher within a few weeks, with firmness, texture, and scarring continuing to improve over the months following a course as the skin remodels.

Does it help acne scarring?

Yes. SkinPen is well suited to softening the appearance of acne scarring and uneven texture, and this is one of the most common reasons people choose it. Results build over a course, and Dr Shaan will set realistic expectations for your particular scarring at consultation.

How is it different from a HydraFacial or Fire & Ice?

Our facials work on the surface for an instant glow with no downtime. Microneedling works deeper, stimulating your own collagen to remodel the skin over time, which is why it is the stronger choice for scarring, texture, and lasting skin quality, and why it involves a short recovery and a course.
