Micro-infusion is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin using a specialised micro-infusion device fitted with ultra-fine 24-carat gold needles.
These micro-channels allow customised skin-boosting solutions — such as vitamins, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-based therapies — to be delivered directly into the superficial layers of the skin.
At Credo Aesthetics in Bristol, micro-infusion treatments are tailored to your skin concerns to improve hydration, texture, tone, and overall radiance
The treatment works in two ways:
Controlled Micro-Stimulation
The ultra-fine 24-carat gold needles create precise micro-injuries that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production.
Targeted Serum Delivery
Active ingredients are infused directly into the skin, enhancing absorption and maximising results compared to topical application alone.
The combination of stimulation and infusion helps rejuvenate the skin from within
Micro-infusion is suitable for improving:
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Dull or dehydrated skin
Uneven skin tone
Mild pigmentation
Enlarged pores
Acne scarring (mild)
Skin laxity
Overall skin texture and glow
It is often chosen by clients seeking subtle, natural skin enhancement with minimal downtime.
Micro-infusion may not be appropriate if you:
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infection, acne flare, or open wounds
Have eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the treatment area
Have a history of keloid scarring
Are you taking anticoagulant medication
Have used isotretinoin (Roaccutane) within the past 6–12 months
Have recently undergone laser or deep chemical peel treatments
A full consultation at Credo Aesthetics will determine suitability

Risk & complications
Low
Down time
None
While both treatments involve controlled micro-injuries, micro-infusion focuses on delivering customised active ingredients directly into the skin during treatment for enhanced absorption.
Most clients experience mild discomfort. The ultra-fine needles minimise sensation, and numbing cream can be used if needed.
Skin often appears brighter and more hydrated within a few days. Collagen stimulation continues to improve results over several weeks.
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness may occur for 24–48 hours.
Results vary depending on skin condition and lifestyle, but maintenance treatments help prolong benefits.
What serums are used?
Serums may include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, peptides, PRP, or other skin-boosting ingredients, depending on your skin goals.
Is it safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional using sterile technique and medical-grade products.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It’s often combined with microneedling, laser treatments, or chemical peels (when appropriately spaced)
