At Lioness Medical (based in Casafia), we offer professional dermal needling treatments to help improve skin texture, tone and overall skin health. Every treatment is carried out personally by Ruth Crofford, an expert aesthetics nurse with over 20 years of professional experience. Renowned for her attention to detail, Ruth specialises in achieving natural, beautifully balanced results, all delivered with a warm, approachable and reassuring manner.
Dermal needling, also known as skin needling or microneedling, stimulates your skin’s natural self-healing response by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers collagen and elastin production which can help improve the appearance of fine lines, scarring, texture irregularities and more, giving your skin a healthier, more radiant look.

Dermal needling uses a specialised device with tiny sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These encourage the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve texture, tone and skin quality.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to reduce discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild rather than painful, and the treatment is generally well tolerated.
Optimal results are usually seen with a course of treatments, typically 3–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and goals.
Dermal needling is performed by a trained professional in a clinical setting, with minimal downtime. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling or mild irritation that usually resolves within a couple of days.
Before treatment, avoid blood thinning medications (if medically safe), alcohol and vigorous exercise. You’ll also discuss any skin conditions or allergies with Ruth during your consultation. Follow any personalised pre-treatment advice provided to support best results.
