Unlocking the Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is a versatile skin treatment that can be used to target a variety of skin concerns, including acne scarring and neck wrinkles. It is classed as a minimally invasive treatment and in many cases, results are visible after just one treatment.

But how does it work and how could it help you to achieve the rejuvenated complexion you've been dreaming of? Let's find out...

What Exactly is Microneedling?

The practice of microneedling first emerged in the mid-1990s, however, new technologies in recent years have seen its popularity and its efficacy grow significantly.

During microneedling treatment, the device creates a number of microscopic punctures to the skin using short, incredibly fine and fully sterilised needles. In response to these tiny punctures, the body immediately kick-starts its natural healing process and works to create new tissue that is rich in collagen and elastin.

As new dermal tissues form, the quality of the skin in the treatment area is improved to provide a more youthful, rested, and hydrated complexion.

The Benefits of Microneedling

- It's minimally invasive

The popularity of microneedling treatments has continued to increase because of its ability to deliver a plumped, more youthful looking complexion with little-to-no discomfort or downtime. Immediately following microneedling treatment, the skin may experience some minor irritation and redness, however, these side effects are likely to ease after 24-48 hours.

- It can treat a range of skin concerns

This treatment has a range of benefits including minimising the appearance of scarring, enlarged pores and wrinkles, improving the elasticity of the skin, and improving uneven skin tone and texture. It can also rejuvenate tired, dull looking skin and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

- It can be used as part of a more comprehensive skin treatment routine

Microneedling is a treatment that can also be used alongside a range of other treatments, including topical medical-grade skincare products and radio frequency based treatments.

Rejuvenating Skin on the Delicate Neck Area

There are marked differences between the skin on the face and the skin on the neck. However, many microneedling treatments have the versatility to expertly treat a range of skin concerns.

The delicate skin on the neck is particularly prone to developing wrinkles, a loose appearance, and a crepey texture. However, as microneedling works without heat, chemicals or stress to the skin, it can be safely used to address a range of skin concerns in this sensitive area.
