MICRONEEDLING

 

Microneedling is a rejuvenating skin treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells, which therefore stimulates your own collagen and elastin.

Benefits of microneedling:
The main benefit of microneedling is that it improves skin texture. It does this by stimulating collagen, which is great for rejuvenating the skin. As a result, it can help improve a number of key skin concerns.

Microneedling can help:

  • soften fine lines
  • fade acne scars
  • tackle ultraviolet (UV) damage, like hyperpigmentation and age spots
  • shrink pores
  • brighten skin
  • reduce the appearance of stretch marks

What to expect
After you have a microneedling procedure, some side effects are to be expected. When you leave your appointment, your skin may be flushed or bright red, as if you have spent the entire day out in the sun and have a mild to moderate sunburn.

The redness that you experience from microneedling will mostly fade within 48 hours. Other symptoms, such as peeling and breakouts, might take slightly longer to resolve. Most of the visible recovery from microneedling happens in the first day or two after treatment, but healing will still be happening under the surface of your skin for up to 2 months afterwards.

Even with careful aftercare, there isn’t much you can do to get rid of the redness immediately after microneedling. Swelling is typical up to 48 hours after the procedure. Flaking or peeling after microneedling is also relatively common. Other side effects, like bumps, breakouts, and dry skin, are also common after microneedling—but not everyone will experience them.

Taking care of your skin with moisturizer and gentle cleansers can minimize side effects. Luckily, the expected post-microneedling downtime is relatively short compared with some other cosmetic procedures. (All products used during treatments are customised according to your skin's needs.)

Microneedling treatments are available for £120, delivering rejuvenated and radiant skin.
