What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a type of 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. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage and ageing.

Time: 45min

Cost: £65

Benefits of Microneedling:
Microneedling is most commonly used to treat the following skin conditions:

• Dull skin: Rejuvenate tired and dull skin and combat the initial signs of ageing.

• Wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles on the face can be visibly reduced, as microneedling triggers collagen production.

• Scarring: Scars from acne and Chicken Pox can be improved and an uneven texture can be smoothed out with microneedling.

• Pigmentation: Can help to fade dark patches such as pigmentation due to sun damage or ageing.

Microneedling is a great treatment for you if you have darker skin because it doesn’t involve peels or lasers, which can cause pigmentation issues.
