Microneedling – Top 5 Benefits You Should Know

Microneedling is one of the hottest trends in skincare right now, and for good reason. This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. But what makes microneedling such a game-changer? Read on to know the top 5 benefits you NEED to know about microneedling.

1. Boosts Collagen Production

We all know that collagen is the secret sauce to youthful, glowing skin but we also know that as we age, the natural production of collagen in our bodies slows down – this may lead to wrinkles and fine lines. Microneedling ramps up collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen synthesis. According to a study published in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, microneedling can increase collagen production by up to 400%! This boost collagen not only improves skin elasticity but also fills in fine lines and wrinkles. Meaning, your skin will have a plump, youthful appearance (yes please!).

2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone

If you’ve struggled with uneven skin texture or tone, microneedling could be your new best friend (yep, you heard it here first). This particular treatment encourages cell turnover, revealing smoother, more even skin underneath. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that patients often see improvements in skin texture and tone within a few sessions. The tiny channels created by the needles will also enhance the absorption of skincare products, ensuring that all those serums you’ve spent hundreds of pounds on work more effectively. Over time, this leads to a smoother, more radiant complexion… who doesn’t want that?

3. Minimises Acne Scars

Acne scars can be a major confidence killer, trust us, we know. Fortunately, microneedling is a powerful tool in reducing their appearance (say goodbye to those pesky scars!). The treatment works by breaking down old scar tissue and stimulating the formation of new, healthy skin. Research from The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology indicates that microneedling can reduce acne scars by up to 50%, making it one of the most effective treatments available. The process encourages collagen remodelling, which helps to flatten raised scars and fill in depressed areas. Patients typically see significant improvement after a series of treatments with minimal downtime (BRB, going to book an appointment).

4. Enhances Product Absorption

Ever wonder why your skincare products aren’t working as well as they should? It might be because they’re not getting deep enough into your skin (super frustrating). As mentioned before, microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin that allow, as a result, skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. According to a study in Dermatologic Surgery, products applied AFTER microneedling are absorbed 80% better than those applied without treatment. This means your favourite creams, serums and oils can deliver their active ingredients more effectively, boosting their efficacy and enhancing the results of your skincare routine. This enhanced absorption can lead to faster and more noticeable improvements in skin hydration, texture and tone (what an absolute win!).

5. Reduces Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are a common concern, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. But microneedling can help you say goodbye to those stubborn marks (about time right?). Through the stimulation of collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps improve the appearance of stretch marks. Clinical studies have shown that microneedling can reduce the appearance of stretch marks by up to 75% (The Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2019). The treatment works by breaking down the old, damaged skin and encouraging the growth of healthy, new skin. Over several sessions, the skin’s texture becomes smoother and more even, significantly reducing the visibility of stretch marks (hello smooth skin!).

Beauty Dermal Fillers

The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Dermal Fillers

Calling all beauty enthusiasts! Welcome to the world of dermal fillers; where science meets beauty to create stunningly youthful transformations. Whether you’re a newbie to cosmetic treatments or a skincare aficionado, we’re here to spill all the tea on these game-changing treatments. No secrets (we promise), just the inside scoop on everything you need to know to achieve your best look. So, grab a comfy seat and let’s explore the magic of instant volume, flawless contouring and age-defying enhancements!

What’s the Deal with Dermal Fillers?

Let’s be real – dermal fillers are the ultimate secret for a fresh, youthful glow. These versatile injections aren’t just quick fixes; they tackle multiple aesthetic concerns by restoring lost volume, smoothing out wrinkles and enhancing facial contours. Their secret weapon? Hyaluronic acid. This powerhouse ingredient is a natural substance found in your skin. It plays a crucial role in maintaining hydration, elasticity and overall skin health. Hyaluronic acid is like a moisture magnet, capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water (seriously, it’s that impressive). When used in dermal fillers, it provides a potent hydration boost, instantly plumping up those volume-depleted areas (you know exactly what we’re talking about), giving your skin an instant hydration boost.

BUT, you guessed it, there’s more. Hyaluronic acid fillers also stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. Collagen is the protein responsible for your skin’s firmness and elasticity, but it usually takes a hit as we age. By encouraging collagen synthesis, dermal fillers not only offer immediate results but also contribute to long-term skin improvements (it’s like investing in your skin’s future) – you’re literally giving your skin a long-term upgrade. An absolute no-brainer!

What Can Dermal Fillers Do? (The Real Deal)

Dermal fillers are the ultimate face fixers, offering solutions for a range of beauty concerns. Here’s how they contribute towards enhancing your appearance:

Smooth Out Wrinkles

Dermal fillers are your skin’s personal erase-and-rewind button (bye-bye wrinkles!). They fill in those fine lines and deep creases, smoothing out everything from crow’s feet to laugh lines – they’re instant wrinkle-busters. Whether it’s those pesky lines around your eyes or the folds around your mouth, fillers have got you covered. With an anti-wrinkle treatment like this one, you’ll have the fresh, youthful look you’re after.

Restore Volume

Lost a bit of volume over the years? No worries – dermal fillers are here to pump it back up (quite literally). They’re your go-to for plumping up cheeks, temples and under-eye areas that might be looking a little flat or tired. With fillers, you can get that plump, radiant look that screams “I’m well-rested and fabulous,”.

Enhance Lips

Dreaming of a fuller pout? (We’ve all been there girl). Dermal fillers are your secret weapon for that perfect lip boost (think of them as lip gloss on steroids). Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a bold, plump look, fillers can give you the lips of your dreams (or at least the ones that make everyone do a double-take). Get ready for a pout that’s both balanced and bombshell-worthy!

Contour the Face

Ready to contour like a pro without the makeup hassle? Dermal fillers can sculpt and define your jawline, chin, and cheekbones, giving you a snatched look without a single brush (it’s no secret that we live for the snatch).

What Goes Down During Your Appointment?

Getting dermal fillers is a straightforward and easy process that typically takes 15-60 minutes depending on the treated area. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

  1. Consultation: Discuss your goals with one of our qualified practitioners (think of it as a beauty strategy session). This will ensure your chosen filler and technique are best suited for your needs and gives our practitioners a better understanding of your beauty goals.
  2. Preparation: After securing your appointment (exciting stuff), your treatment area will be cleaned and a topical anaesthetic will be applied to minimise discomfort during the process (numbing cream to keep things comfy).
  3. Injection: Using a fine needle, the filler will be injected into the targeted area (precision is key, so your practitioner will make sure everything is even and natural-looking, that’s a promise from Pure Posh).
  4. Aftercare: Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising or redness (not to worry, this is super normal). Applying ice packs and avoiding strenuous activities for 24-48 hours can help reduce these effects (trust the process, the glow-up is worth it).
