Micro-needling and it’s benefits
What Is Micro-needling and Why the Right Serum Matters
If you’re looking for smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin without resorting to invasive treatments, micro-needling could be exactly what your skin needs. At All About You Aesthetics in Ellesmere, micro-needling is one of our most requested treatments—and for good reason. But to truly unlock its benefits, it’s not just about the procedure itself. The serum you pair with micro needling is just as important as the needling process.
Let’s dive into what microneedling is, how it works, what it can do for your skin, and why choosing the right serum is key to achieving beautiful, long-lasting results.
What Is Micro-needling?
Micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production—two key proteins that keep skin firm, plump, and youthful.
Think of it as giving your skin a wake-up call, encouraging it to repair and rejuvenate from the inside out.
What Does Micro-needling Do?
Micro-needling can address a wide range of common skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Stretch marks
Results are gradual, but noticeable—especially after a course of treatments. The skin becomes firmer, smoother, and brighter over time.
The Benefits of Micro-needling
Boosts Natural Collagen Production
The micro-injuries encourage your skin to repair itself by producing fresh collagen and elastin.
- Improves Product Absorption
The tiny channels created during treatment allow serums to penetrate deeper into the skin, making your aftercare products work much more effectively. - Minimal Downtime
Unlike more invasive treatments, microneedling has relatively quick recovery time, with most clients experiencing just a day or two of redness. - Safe for Most Skin Types
When performed by a trained professional, microneedling is suitable for a wide variety of skin tones and types.
Why the Right Serum Is So Important
One of the most powerful aspects of microneedling is how it supercharges the ingredients applied during and immediately after treatment. This is where the right serum makes all the difference.
Choosing the right serum isn’t one-size-fits-all. At All About You, we tailor the serum to suit your skin’s individual needs—whether that’s hydration, calming inflammation, brightening pigmentation, or tackling signs of ageing.
For example:
- Hyaluronic Acid is perfect for dry, dehydrated skin.
- Vitamin C works wonders on dull, uneven skin tone.
- Peptides and Growth Factors are ideal for ageing or scarred skin.
- Niacinamide or Zinc can help calm acne-prone or inflamed skin.
Using the wrong serum can not only reduce your results, but may also cause irritation or sensitivity—especially when the skin is at its most absorbent after microneedling.
