Everything You Need to Know About Microneedling

Microneedling is an incredibly effective, innovative procedure, but upon first impressions, a lot remains unknown. 

Whether you need to learn about the science behind the groundbreaking treatment, or you’ve heard some negatives through the grapevine, we’re here to share everything you need to know. 

Discover the benefits, the perfect candidate, and join us as we debunk the myths of microneedling.

Microneedling is a comfortable and safe procedure which can provide unrivalled results for your skin.

What is microneedling?

Let's start with the basics: What is microneedling? Microneedling involves using a specialised device equipped with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. We know that sounds terrifying, but these micro-injuries are incredibly tiny, being barely visible to the naked eye, and of course we only allow our highly-trained professionals to administer this procedure here at Beauty Within Salon in Driffield, Yorkshire. 

Why create these micro-injuries you might ask? We promise there’s a method to the madness, which leads us nicely into…

How does microneedling work?

Prepare to be wowed. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries, which give the skin’s natural repair systems a little nudge for huge benefits. As the skin heals itself, it ramps up collagen and elastin production, in turn, leading to smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin - sounds dreamy right? 

But here's the best part: microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that's not only safe, but also suitable for most skin types. So, rest assured, there's no need to fear the needles - your skin will thank you for it!

4 benefits of microneedling

So, you’ve already learnt about the (far from) basic benefits of microneedling, including smoother, younger-looking skin, but let’s take a deeper dive into the wide range of advantages it can provide. 

A versatile solution

Whether you're conscious of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin tone, microneedling has got you covered. Its ability to address multiple concerns in a single treatment makes it a super popular treatment among skincare enthusiasts, seeking rejuvenation from within.

Promotes collagen production

As we add more candles to our birthday cake, it’s common to seek ways to boost collagen production. Luckily, the tiny needles within a microneedling treatment work their youthful magic, kickstarting collagen production. The result? Firmer, more elastic skin that's better equipped to withstand the signs of ageing, allowing you to grow old gracefully.

Enhances skin texture

Say goodbye to dull, lacklustre skin and hello to a smoother, more refined complexion! Microneedling works wonders in improving overall skin texture by encouraging skin cell turnover. As it begins to form new collagen and elastin fibres, microneedling helps to create a more even, supple skin surface, providing a youthful glow that radiates from within.

Long-lasting results

Unlike alternative skincare treatments that offer fleeting benefits, microneedling delivers long-lasting results that stand the test of time. Because microneedling stimulates the skin's natural healing process, the improvements you experience after each session continue to enhance over time. By investing in consistent treatments with us here at Beauty Within Salon, you can expect to see progressive enhancements in skin texture, tone and overall appearance, ensuring you maintain that precious youthful glow for the long haul.

Opt for consistent treatments for long lasting, powerful results.

Who is the perfect microneedling candidate?

If you’re seeking to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin with long-lasting results, you could benefit from microneedling. Whether you're concerned about fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone or texture irregularities, microneedling can offer transformative results. 

It's suitable for individuals of all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive option for anyone seeking skin rejuvenation. 

However, during your initial consultation with us, our skincare professionals will determine if microneedling is the right choice for your specific skin concerns and medical history. With proper guidance and personalised treatment plans, microneedling can help you achieve the radiant, youthful complexion you've always dreamed of.

The myths of microneedling: busted

With any popular skincare treatment, we always hear myths through the grapevine. While rarely there can be some truth to the rumours, they are often completely inaccurate, creating barriers for people who could benefit from the treatment. Take a read of the most popular myths of microneedling, and discover the truth. 

Myth: microneedling is painful

While the idea of tiny needles puncturing your skin might sound painful, microneedling is actually quite tolerable. Here at Beauty Within Salon in Driffield, Yorkshire, our microneedling treatments are always performed by a trained professional and with the application of a numbing cream beforehand, ensuring maximum comfort for our loyal customers, as well as unrivalled results.

Myth: microneedling requires significant downtime

Contrary to popular belief, microneedling typically requires minimal downtime, with most people experiencing only mild redness and swelling for a day or two following the treatment. As skincare experts, we recommend booking the treatment prior to a relaxed weekend, so you can allow your skin to heal without worrying about additional eyes in the office. 

Myth: microneedling make acne worse

Ladies, it’s vital we bust this myth as microneedling can actually help improve acne-prone skin by promoting cell turnover and reducing the appearance of acne scars. However, it's crucial to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional (like ourselves) before undergoing microneedling if you have active acne to ensure the procedure is suitable for your unique skin needs.

Myth: microneedling is unsafe

When performed by our trained and qualified professionals here at Beauty Within Salon, use of sterile equipment is our priority, making microneedling a safe and effective procedure with minimal risks. However, adhering to post-treatment care instructions further ensures the safety and success of the treatment. Post-treatment care is also outlined during consultations so our customers are always aware of any commitment required following the treatment, therefore, you’ll never experience any nasty surprises.
