Microneedling: The Transformative Treatment for Healthier, Glowing Skin

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin naturally. It works by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. This process stimulates your body’s own healing response, encouraging fresh collagen and elastin production.

The result is smoother, firmer, more radiant skin that looks refreshed from within. It’s a favourite at Fox Aesthetics for anyone wanting real results without drastic measures or heavy downtime.

The Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for almost every skin type and concern.

It helps to:

• Soften fine lines and wrinkles

• Improve skin texture and tone

• Reduce acne scarring and pigmentation

• Minimise pores

• Boost overall radiance and firmness

By renewing the skin from the inside out, microneedling gives a natural, healthy glow that makeup can’t replicate. Over time, your skin becomes stronger, smoother, and visibly revitalised.

The Best Treatment Plan

For the best results, microneedling should be delivered as a course of three sessions, spaced one month apart. This allows the skin to repair and rebuild gradually, with each session strengthening the results.

After your initial course, maintenance sessions can be booked every few months depending on your skin’s needs and your personal goals. Regular treatments help keep collagen levels high and the skin looking smooth, firm, and luminous all year round.

How Transformative Can Microneedling Be?

Microneedling can truly transform your skin’s texture and tone, giving it new life and confidence. Clients often notice that their skin feels fresher, makeup sits better, and their natural glow returns. With consistent treatments, fine lines soften, pores tighten, and the complexion becomes noticeably more even and radiant.

This is a treatment that works with your skin, not against it, delivering visible, lasting improvements over time.

Microneedling Aftercare: How to Nurture Your Skin Post-Treatment

After your microneedling treatment, your skin will begin its natural healing process, which is where the real transformation happens. To support this and achieve the best possible results, gentle aftercare is key.

In the first 24–48 hours:

• Your skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly pink, similar to mild sunburn. This is completely normal and will settle quickly.

• Avoid touching your face unnecessarily and keep your hands clean to prevent irritation.

• Do not apply makeup or heavy products for the first 24 hours.

• Avoid exercise, saunas, or anything that causes excessive sweating.

• Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid heat exposure such as hot showers or steam.

Keep your skin hydrated and protected:

• Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser and a soothing, fragrance-free moisturiser.

• Avoid active ingredients such as retinol, exfoliating acids, or Vitamin C for at least five days.

• Always apply sunscreen daily, even if it’s cloudy, to protect your fresh new skin.

Over the following days, your skin may feel slightly dry or flaky — this is completely normal and part of the renewal process. Within a week, you’ll notice your skin feeling smoother and looking brighter, and the full glow will continue to develop over the following weeks as new collagen forms.

By following your aftercare advice and maintaining a consistent skincare routine, you’ll get the best possible results from your microneedling treatments and enjoy that fresh, healthy, radiant glow for longer.

Who Is Microneedling Suitable For?

Microneedling is suitable for most people who want to improve the quality, texture, or tone of their skin. It can be used on the face, neck, and even areas like the décolletage or hands.

It’s particularly beneficial if you are noticing early signs of ageing, uneven skin tone, or loss of elasticity. Many clients in their 30s, 40s, and beyond choose microneedling to restore skin vitality and maintain long-term skin health.

Who Should Avoid Microneedling

Although microneedling is safe and effective for most people, there are some cases where it may not be suitable. It’s best to avoid treatment if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have active acne, cold sores, or skin infections

• Have certain skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea flare-ups

• Are taking medications that affect healing

During your consultation, I’ll always assess your skin and medical history to make sure microneedling is safe and right for you.
