Microneedling at our skin clinic

There are many ways in which you can improve the appearance of your skin. Here at Skin Studio UK microneedling has proven to be one of the most popular treatments. This is because it can be used to tackle a range of skin problems. This includes signs of ageing such as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used in tackling acne scars, minimising the appearance of stretch marks and helping to improve the appearance and texture of your skin in general.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling involves piercing the skin with thin needles down to the level of the dermis to trigger a series of events which mimic the natural skin repair cycle. The needles cause microbleeds in the upper part of the dermis. This triggers the release of growth factors and promotes the production of collagen, which is why it is also known as collagen induction therapy. This has excellent anti-ageing benefits and helps reduce the appearance of scarring. Scarring occurs when an injury to the skin causes an indentation. By increasing collagen levels those indentations can be lifted, reducing the appearance of the scar.

Microneedling also helps improve skin elasticity and it has a firming effect on sagging skin. It can be used to improve the appearance of pores so that your skin looks clearer and smoother too. It is a versatile treatment and the effects can be further enhanced by making sure that you have an excellent skin care regime, including the use of sunscreen every day of the year and adding ingredients such as Vitamin A and vitamin C to your skincare for better maintenance of the dermis. Vitamin A has excellent anti-ageing properties whilst vitamin C helps collagen synthesis, thereby promoting the effects of microneedling.

Microneedling is a safe cosmetic procedure. There is a low risk of infection and it can also be used successfully in people of colour who may be affected by complications such as hyperpigmentation. We can recommend it for almost every skin type. The treatment itself has relatively little downtime for the results that it delivers. Most patients experience redness for the first 24 or 48 hours and this should subside by itself. The process itself is quick, therefore it can fit into your busy lifestyle.
