Forget expensive lotions and potions to make your skin glow, microneedling is the stimulating treatment that is taking over the beauty world. We speak to aesthetics expert Dr Steven Land to discover how revolutionary this treatment really is..
Suitable for all skin types, micro-needling is a procedure that uses very small needles to puncture the top layers of your skin, so it stimulates it into repair mode. I know, it sounds scary, but it’s virtually pain free and the benefits are so worth it.
Not only is micro-needling one of the most
successful ways of preventing the first signs of
ageing, the procedure has also been proven to
improve the appearance of scars, sun damage and
stretch marks, by boosting collagen, increasing
elastin production and promoting cell turnover.
After treatment, collagen will start being produced
within 48 to 72 hours, meaning your skin may look
a little red until then, but be patient, better skin will
come. The main aim of micro-needling is to create
youthful looking skin, and after a couple of sessions,
most people will notice a significant reduction in
fine lines, crow’s feet and deep forehead wrinkles.
So, it’s the perfect boost your skin needs, especially
in preparation for spring and summer months. It’s
one of our most popular skin treatments here at
Novellus, and all over the world actually. It’s loved
by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston,
and let’s face it (pardon the pun), who doesn’t want
skin like theirs?
As a multi-purpose, non-invasive skin treatment,
micro-needling can treat a range of concerns, from
ageing or acne scarring to hair loss. If you think
micro-needling could be for you, or if you have any
further questions about our treatments, please feel
