About microneedling
Microneedling uses a pen-shaped device fitted with a cartridge of very fine needles that create thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin. The skin responds by renewing itself, and over a course of treatments it can look smoother, firmer and more even in texture. It is often chosen for the appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines and textured skin left by past breakouts.
A serum, often hyaluronic acid, is applied during the treatment, and a numbing cream is usually applied twenty to thirty minutes beforehand. Expect redness similar to mild sunburn for a day or two afterwards and some dryness in the following days. Results build over a course of three to six sessions, four to six weeks apart.
The treatment itself takes 30 to 45 minutes, plus the numbing time. It is not suitable over active acne, infections or broken skin, and practitioners should take a full consultation first. Microneedling is among the procedures expected to fall under the new licensing scheme in England, so choose a clinic that is open about its training and licensing.
