What does microneedling recovery actually look like? ✨
This patient documented their healing journey after a microneedling treatment using our highest setting, and even at this intensity, they described the downtime as looking more dramatic than it felt, with no significant discomfort during the healing process.
So, why microneedling?
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering its natural repair response and stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. Rather than simply treating the surface, it encourages your skin to remodel and regenerate over time.
It can be a brilliant option for improving:
• Acne scarring and other textural scarring
• Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Uneven tone and some pigmentation concerns
• Overall skin firmness, smoothness and quality
One of the reasons we love microneedling is that it can deliver meaningful improvements in skin texture without the more significant downtime associated with some other resurfacing treatments.
There’s no peeling away layers of skin, and it doesn’t rely on adding volume or temporarily changing the movement of your muscles. Instead, we’re working with your skin’s own healing mechanisms to gradually improve its quality.
Immediately afterwards, redness can look similar to sunburn and the skin may feel warm or tight. Over the following days, this settles as the healing process continues, while collagen remodelling happens much more gradually beneath the surface for weeks afterwards.
