Microneedling with CLINICCARE & Raffine
Advanced collagen-boosting skin rejuvenation for smoother, brighter, more even-looking skin.
Microneedling at Varches is a gentle yet powerful skin treatment designed to smooth, brighten and refresh your complexion. Using the Raffine automatic microneedling device together with CLINICCARE professional skincare, this treatment creates tiny controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and enhance the absorption of active ingredients – all within the calm, supportive environment of our studio.

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) uses ultra-fine needles to create very small, precise micro-channels in the upper layers of the skin. This process encourages your skin’s natural repair response, supporting collagen and elastin production and helping to improve overall tone, texture and radiance.
At Varches, we use:
- Raffine automatic microneedling device – a professional device that delivers consistent, controlled depth for a comfortable and effective treatment.
- CLINICCARE professional skincare – advanced formulas featuring low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and targeted actives to deeply hydrate, soothe and support your skin during and after treatment.
How Microneedling can help
Microneedling can be a beautiful option if you’d like to improve the overall quality and glow of your skin.
It can help with the appearance of:
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Uneven or rough texture
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- The appearance of mild acne scarring
- The look of enlarged pores
- Uneven tone and pigmentation
We’ll always assess your skin first and discuss what is realistic and appropriate for you.
Your Microneedling Experience
Before your treatment:
– We complete a full consultation and skin assessment.
– We review your medical history and current skincare.
– Pre-treatment advice is given (e.g. avoiding certain products or treatments for a few days beforehand).
During your treatment:
– Skin is cleansed and prepared.
– A suitable CLINICCARE serum is applied to support glide and deliver active ingredients.
– The Raffine device is gently worked across the skin at a controlled depth tailored to your concerns and skin type.
– You may feel mild scratching or prickling, but most people describe it as very manageable.
– A calming, hydrating CLINICCARE mask or finishing products are applied to soothe and comfort the skin.
After your treatment:
– Skin will usually appear pink or slightly warm – like mild sun exposure – which can settle over the next 24–48 hours.
– You’ll leave with personalised aftercare advice and product recommendations to support healing and results.
Results, Treatment & Aftercare Plan
The Results:
– Many people notice a fresh glow and smoother feel once initial redness settles.
– Improvements in texture, fine lines and overall skin quality develop gradually as collagen production is stimulated over the following weeks.
– For best results, a course of treatments is usually recommended (for example, every 4–6 weeks), followed by occasional maintenance sessions.
– You can adjust this section to match how you usually present courses or packages on the website.
Aftercare: Looking after your skin:
– Keep the area clean and avoid touching with unwashed hands.
– Avoid makeup for 24 hours (unless otherwise advised).
– Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise for 24–48 hours.
– Avoid active skincare (retinoids, strong acids, scrubs) for a few days.
– Use gentle, hydrating products recommended in your treatment.
– Wear a high SPF and avoid direct sun exposure while the skin is healing.
