Microneedling in Shortlands, Bromley
Microneedling creates thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin, which triggers collagen production and lets serums reach where they work. For clients from Shortlands we pair it with the Derma 2.0 range — Moisture Surge, Brightening Correction, Skin Resurface, Contour and more — chosen at your consultation.
It is not a painful treatment when it is done properly. We use numbing cream, work carefully, and talk you through what you will feel. Results build over weeks as new collagen forms, which is why a course works better than a one-off.
Visiting from Shortlands
We carry out microneedling at our Forest Hill salon rather than as a home visit, because it needs the right environment and equipment. From Shortlands that is about 20 minutes by car, and Shortlands station is close to a direct train to Forest Hill.

- Derma 2.0 medical-grade serums
- Face, neck, lips, eyes and body options

Microneedling in Shortlands — FAQs
Does microneedling hurt?
With numbing cream, most clients feel only mild scratching. The forehead and nose can feel a little more sensitive than the cheeks.
How far is the salon from Shortlands?
About 3.2 miles — about 20 minutes by car. We are on Devonshire Road in Forest Hill, SE23, a few minutes' walk from Forest Hill station, which has direct trains from Shortlands. Appointments are by booking only, so there is never a wait when you arrive.
How many sessions do I need?
Three sessions, four to six weeks apart, is typical for general rejuvenation. Deeper scarring or stretch marks may need up to six.
Do you do home visits in Shortlands?
Yes, for many of our treatments — spray tanning, massage, waxing, lashes, manicures and pedicures and more. Travel to Shortlands is £10. Treatments that need the salon environment, such as microneedling, peels and injections, are salon-only.
When will I see results?
An initial glow shows within 24 to 48 hours. The collagen-related changes — texture, scarring, lines — develop over four to six weeks after each session.
Do you cover all of BR2?
Yes — every part of BR2, and the neighbouring areas of Bromley, Beckenham, Downham and Bickley. For home visits the travel fee is the same across the whole area.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
Avoid make-up for at least 24 hours, ideally 48, so the micro-channels can close cleanly.
How do I book from Shortlands?
Book online at any time through our booking page, or call 07803 285619. Evening appointments are available most weekdays and we open on Sundays. Out-of-hours and festive-season bookings carry a small surcharge.
Is microneedling suitable for my skin type?
It suits all skin tones, including darker complexions. It is not recommended if you have active acne, eczema or rosacea in the area, are on blood-thinning medication, or are pregnant.
Do I need a patch test?
For lash extensions, tints, peels, BB Glow and a few other treatments, yes — at least 24 hours before your first appointment. Patch tests are free at the salon, and we can post a kit to Shortlands if that is easier.
