What Can Microneedling Help With?
Microneedling is incredibly versatile and can help with most cosmetic skin concerns, from wrinkles, to acne scars, rough, sun damaged skin, age spots (pigmentation) large pores, stretch marks and dull, tired skin. Microneedling can also help to improve red and raised scars due to trauma or surgery. As the treatment harnesses your skin’s own natural repair process, results look fresh, subtle, and beautifully natural.
Why Choose Medical Microneedling?
Not all microneedling treatments are the same. As a Registered Nurse and Independent Prescriber, I can offer medical microneedling in my Cheltenham aesthetics clinic, which allows for a deeper, more effective treatment compared to home devices or beauty salons. Medical-grade microneedling penetrates the skin to the deeper levels for stimulating collagen, giving you stronger and longer-lasting results particularly with scarring and stretch marks. I use a premium, high speed device which creates the most micro-channels in the skin with the least discomfort and post-procedure redness.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your skin is prepared by cleansing and disinfecting the skin. The microneedling device is gently passed over the skin, creating tiny micro-channels. Most people say microneedling feels like a slight scratching or simply a vibrating sensation across the skin.
Your skin may appear slightly pink for 24–48 hours, similar to mild sunburn, but downtime is minimal. Within weeks, your skin will look brighter and feel smoother, with continued improvement as new collagen develops over the following months.
Enhance Your Results
Healthy, hydrated skin responds better to microneedling. It’s therefore important to take good care of your skin and body in the run up to your procedure, during your course of treatment and beyond if you want to keep your results. Stay well hydrated and ensure a good skincare routine that gently cares for, exfoliates and hydrates the skin. We recommend preparing your skin with an AlumierMD skincare routine to enhance and maintain your result-this can be recommended during your consultation. For even better results, you may wish to combine your microneedling with treatments such as Profhilo, Sunekos, or alternated every month with Corrective Skin Peels. If you have severe skin issues to address such as advanced ageing, widespread pigmentation or extensive scarring, Radiofrequency Microneedling can be more effective.
