Dermal Microneedling and Electroporation Treatment
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy works by encouraging your skin to produce more Collagen and generate new skin cells.
Tiny pin pricks applied to the skin cause a micro trauma which triggers the skin’s healing mode, encouraging the Macrophage Cells to produce new collagen and elastin rich tissue. The new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture, firmer and brighter.
Collagen is a structural protein in our body that binds tissues and cells together. The “glue” that helps our body maintain its shape and structure. As we age our body produces less Collagen, which effects our skin, muscle tone and joints.
Microneedling can reduce fine lines and more deep set wrinkles, it can also reduce pigmentation and sun damage and can encourage hair growth.
Electroporation (EPN) Microneedling
EPN is an abbreviation for Electroporation Needle. Electroporation is a technique in which an electrical
field is applied to the skin’s cells in order to increase the permeability of the membranes, allowing
topical products to be introduced into the cell more efficiently. Its application to the skin has been
shown to significantly increase transdermal product delivery.
Electroporation can be used alone or in combination with skin microneedling which enhances the range
of products that can be delivered trans-dermally.

What are the risks with Microneedling?
Like all cosmetic procedures, microneedling isn’t risk free. The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately after the procedure. You may also experience redness for a few days after.

What to Expect from Microneedling at MADA Clinic, Dublin
At our Smithfield clinic in Dublin 7, every microneedling treatment begins with a proper skin assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Margaret, our founder, has over 17 years of experience across Dubai, London and Dublin, and uses the MADA Method to tailor each session to your skin type, tone and concerns. Here's how a typical treatment works.
Consultation and skin analysis
Before your first treatment we offer a complimentary skin consultation. We look at your concerns — whether that's acne scarring, fine lines, pigmentation or dull, tired skin — and agree on a realistic plan, including how many sessions you're likely to need.
The treatment
We cleanse the skin and might apply a topical numbing cream so the session stays comfortable. Using a medical microneedling pen, we create thousands of tiny micro-channels in the skin. These trigger your body's natural repair response, prompting it to produce fresh collagen and elastin. A full-face treatment usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
Boosting your results with PDRN and exosomes
This is where our treatments go beyond standard microneedling. The micro-channels we create allow active ingredients to absorb far more deeply than they would on intact skin. We can pair your session with PDRN or exosome therapy — two of the most advanced regenerative ingredients available — to accelerate healing, calm inflammation and amplify collagen production for a noticeably brighter, firmer result.
Aftercare and recovery
Microneedling is minimally invasive with little downtime. Most clients have some mild redness, similar to light sunburn, that settles within a day or two. We'll send you home with clear aftercare guidance — avoid makeup, direct sun and harsh actives for a few days, and keep the skin hydrated while it repairs.
What Microneedling Can Treat
Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments we offer at MADA, and it's suitable for all skin types and tones. It can help with:
-
Acne scarring and uneven texture
-
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
-
Enlarged or open pores
-
Pigmentation, sun damage and uneven tone
-
Loose skin and loss of firmness
-
Scars and stretch marks on the face and body
-
Dull, lacklustre skin in need of a glow
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Collagen builds gradually, so microneedling works best as a short course rather than a one-off. Most people see the best results from three to six sessions spaced around four to six weeks apart, with improvements in texture and tone often visible within the first few weeks. Our three-session face package works out at €155 per session — among the best value for medical microneedling in Dublin city centre — and we'll confirm the right plan for you at your consultation

Microneedling Dublin — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does microneedling cost in Dublin?
At MADA Clinic in Smithfield, a single medical microneedling treatment for the face is €170, and our three-session package works out at €155 per session (€465) — competitive value for medical microneedling in Dublin city centre. We also offer enhanced options including microneedling with electroporation (€200), microneedling with a chemical peel (€240), PDRN microneedling (€300) and exosome microneedling (€450).
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most people get the best results from a course of three to six sessions spaced around four to six weeks apart, as collagen builds gradually over time. The exact number depends on your skin and your goals — for general skin rejuvenation a few sessions is often enough, while deeper acne scarring usually benefits from a fuller course. We'll recommend a realistic plan at your free consultation.
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment, so most clients find it very tolerable — usually described as a light scratching or vibrating sensation rather than pain. Some areas, like the forehead and along the jaw, can feel a little more sensitive than others.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. Most people have some redness similar to mild sunburn that settles within 24 to 48 hours. You can usually return to normal activities the same day. We advise avoiding makeup, direct sun and active skincare ingredients for a few days while your skin repairs.
What's the difference between microneedling and RF microneedling?
Standard microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-channels that trigger collagen production. RF (radiofrequency) microneedling adds heat energy at the same time, which works deeper and is especially effective for skin tightening and sagging. We offer both at MADA and can advise which suits your concern at your consultation.
What are PDRN and exosome microneedling, and are they worth it?
PDRN and exosomes are advanced regenerative ingredients that the micro-channels allow to absorb far more deeply into the skin. They help speed up healing, calm inflammation and boost collagen, giving a brighter, firmer result than microneedling alone. They're a popular upgrade for clients targeting fine lines, dullness or acne scarring who want to get the most from each session.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types and tones?
Yes. Microneedling is considered safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin, which can be more prone to pigmentation issues with some laser treatments. As with any treatment, a few conditions (such as active acne, eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area) may mean it isn't suitable, which is why we always assess your skin first.
When will I see results from microneedling?
Because microneedling works by stimulating your own collagen, results are gradual rather than instant. Most people start noticing smoother texture and improved tone within four to six weeks, with continued improvement as you complete your course of treatments.
